Are These Adventures Any Good?

Post by Zardnaar »

Castles & Crusades - Verdant Rage
Castles & Crusades - Curse of the Khan
Castles & Crusades - The Heart of Glass

There is an auction in my country for these adventures+ a PHB for $30. The problem being I just ordered another PHB (6 printing) literally last night from Amazon.

Of the three, I personally prefer The Heart of Glass.

Modules are picky. Or rather, people are when they use them. I'd suggest reading a synopsis.

Or, another way to look at it -- if there's not much C&C stuff available to you, grab up what you can to see what has been done and decide if you want to do things your own way.

I love Heart of Glass. For a CK, I think that Heart of Glass takes a little bit more effort to run, but that is because it is also a mini setting. I like the mood and the gritty darkness of Heart of Glass, very much.

Verdant Rage was the best adventure I've come across in years, so my vote's for that.

I haven't read the other ones.

I liked Verdant Rage.
Don't have Curse of the Khan.

I really like Heart of Glass!

You can definitely turn any of those 3 into a "good" adventure" In my opinion, the most difficult to do that with would be the Curse of the Khan, since I believe there are 3 in that series. Now if you have the others, this becomes as easy as any of the others to turn into a good adventure. Verdant Rage is also part of a series, but they are written in a very "stand alone" manner.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Yeah, Verdant Rage is definitely stand alone. It's second in a 'series', but it's for levels 3-5, and the next adventure is for level 9.
