One-Shots


Advice


Hey good folks of the forums,

I want to run a one-shot campaign (maybe one or two days tops) for a group of experienced players. Does anyone have a good suggestion? I'm looking for something original and unexpected, something a bit of the beaten path. An example would be the Foxglove Manor from the Skinsaw Murders Adventure Path, which you could run with your players stand-alone. My players loved that adventure!

I heard good things about the Tomb of Horrors and Werewolves of Hargaldor (although that might be a bit too generic, I haven't read all of it yet). Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm running Midnight Mirror and it's a blast. And it is even on sale right now!

Sweet, what's so good about it? I see it's gotten really good reviews!


I loved The Harrowing. Totally off the beaten path - a great, weird module centered around the Harrow Deck and a carnival of bizarrities.


Combine the goblin campaigns. I know you don't want the PC's not to use their characters. So this is how I did it, game starts create a event, mine was an old hermit they meet by the road and poof your PC now are goblins. I gave them the goblin character sheets and xp transfered to their main character. Just my thought...oh and my group loved it.

It has a very interesting background story that players actually have a chance to learn about. While the former is true for most paizo modules, the latter sometimes tends to be overlooked.

The setting is also different from the usual and Good and bad are not as clearly separated as your players might expect.

What I like the most, though, is that the story manages to be straight-forward and a sandbox at the same time. I'm sure your players will be absolutely certain about what is going on in Karpad and then have their ideas shattered again several times during the course of the adventure until they finally get behind the real truth.


Both Midnight Run and the Harrowing sound awesome, to be fair! I might just buy them both and move on from there! Thanks!
