Killer Ogre Cave

Killer Ogre Cave should be complete before LGGC (within the next week) which will make the 2nd adventure in the arsenal for killer CKs!

Are you going to make this, and the rest, available for download as well? BTW, when my group hits sixth level I am going to use the killer sereis along the the Forsaken Hand module.

I also think you should check into getting it officially published. Judging by your first module you have the abillity to do it. I mean it looks and reads just as good as any other module, and that is coming from a guy who has bought the vast majority of modules ever made. I think there are less then 20 modules that I have not bought from all editions of D&D. So I am comparing you to a lot of good modules.

So if I were you I would send an e-mail to the trolls with a link to downoad your module and ask them if they would be interested in printing it.

If they don't, e-mail Eric Noah of Dungeon magazine and ask him to take a look, assuming you can convert it all to 3E if Eric likes it and wants to publish it.

If both of those pan out i would still contact Goodman and Necromancer games if your willing to do the 3E version, with C&C conversion downloads, of course!

If you do end up getting published my group is your official play test group, right?

Sounds great. Let me know how the playtest goes and I'll add you and your group to the playtesting credits.
I'm planning on posting more adventures in the "Killer Caves" series as they're completed. I ran Killer Ogre Cave on Saturday and it playtested extremely well with my group. I have some finishing touches to add and then it'll be ready to post.

Thus far, the Killer Caves adventures are 16 pages each which I hear is generally minimum for publication. I've already written longer adventures (some of which I'm running at LGGC as listed in my post in that topic) which are 32 or 48 pagers and hence more likely to see publication. Haven't lined up a publisher yet, but plan to.

Thanks for the advice.

Here's the link to the "Killer Ogre Cave" .pdf
http://24.159.235.164:8000/miller6%20we ... 20cave.pdf

Right click it and "save as" for faster download or here's the .zip
http://24.159.235.164:8000/miller6%20we ... 20cave.zip

Keep in mind that it takes a little time to load the images when opening the .pdf. For the time being, I used the graphics from the last dungeon because my wife and daughter aren't finished with the new ones.

Now on to the 3rd adventure in the "Killer Cave" series! But which one to do? Orc Cave? Goblin Cave? Hobgobin Cave?...Hmm. I'm thinking Bugbear Cave sounds like a lot of fun.

(Note: The series is actually intended to go from weakest to strongest HD creatures, but I'm skipping around to add some variety to the character levels.)

Tug and Combat Kyle: Don't read the adventure yet. I'm running it for tonight's group since you guys missed it on Saturday.

I'll wait for the new graphics before I bother downloading.

How about a Troll cave? First the 6 HD variety and then the Hill variety.

Also, when the new graphics are available could you post a link on Dragonsfoot? I come here less because these boards keep crashing on me unless I run spyware and adware programs before I visit. Its getting very tiresome.

There will also be a Killer Troll Cave.
(I just forgot to mention that one.)

Killer Ogre Cave now has a couple new pics in it (one of which is this little guy I'm using as my avatar).

Use the same links from above if you want the latest copy.

Enjoy (and after you run it, post how it went).

The new pics are in it now, but I may add a couple more later. Not sure yet.

I was thinking of something along the lines of crocadile trolls or komono trolls since I've been using an animal/humanoid mix thus far.

For the others I was thinking...

Grizzly Bugbears (with a kodiak leader)

Gorilla hobgoblins

Chimp goblins

Warthog Orcs.

Looks nice, eh?

Alright, I get the point, I'll shrink 'em down for you guys.
For the time being, rather than opening it in a browser window, right click and "save as", then open it from your local drive. Runs better in acrobat reader that way. It also helps to reduce the percentage size for the pages.

Besides...it's worth the wait, right?

Don't shrink it down on my account I think 666 is a great number, and I have cable any ways I just thought it was funny when I saw the file size

Heh, those were some evil rats, giving cause for the invocation of fire! Meanie. I just wanted the food, and the ring, and well... the rats.
