return to the keep on the borderlands errata

I've DMed a lot of 1E modules in the last few years for a new group, and firmly believe that the individual adventures are infinitely better than the compilation supermodules that were published in the mid 1980s. Sorry to put a bit of a downer on your plans. Nulb needs to be fleshed out, you might need to homebrew a few bits and pieces between T1 and the rest in order to get the party powerful enough, and even then expect casualties aplenty.

He became a recurring bad guy in other modules as I didn't bother with the rest of the Elemental Evil campaign.Īs for the rest of T2-4 in the Supermodule - it's a bit of a mess and requires a lot of work on your part as it was very poorly presented and edited, which is unfortunate as it's one hell of a dungeon crawl. My group did it with a party of 8, half were level 2, the rest level 1, their level 2 Druid died and Lareth forced the rest to retreat. Let then have 2 PCs each - and even then, expect casualties. T1 is a superb module, a great village, and the Moathouse is an iconic location, but 3 PCs do not have a hope in hell unless they are very clever and get help from the NPCs in town - but will that be satisfying for the players?

Unfortunately, very few AD&D adventures cater for a party size of just 3 (MV1 was solo, but appalling, and UK5 expected a party size of 4, the rest tended to be 6+).
