If you don't want to use one of the standard adventure paths but still want some sort of unifying campaign, can someone give a list of good published adventures that would fill each stage of the campaign and still somewhat tie together with later modules?
I'm looking for perhaps a list of 3-5 modules of each 'tier' such as lvl 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, etc that I can pick and choose from and will be minimal work to transition from one to the next. That way I can customize a path without having to do all the work myself but I'm not as rigidly tied to the storyline like I would be with an actual Adventure Path.
