Overview
Our challenge is to create an adventure that can be dropped into any existing campaign around 5th level. We want to provide DMs with an option to drop something in to their campaign when they are either running dry on creative juices, have little time to plan, or just want to mix it up. I’ll be posting the entire adventure here on Reddit, and also will be creating a nice, printable PDF version of the adventure at my D&D site www.cloud9tabletop.com. The dungeon should be able to be played in 1-3 sessions. Custom / Homebrew content is encouraged.
Excited Yet? Alright. Let’s get the creative juices flowing. Please answer the following questions in a post below. And I’d ask that the community would please vote on which contributions are the best.
