Hey everyone! I'm new to this board (and to the WOT
RPG also:-) and I am looking for some info on WOT modules (i.e.
adventurers). I played D&D back in the days when all we had were paper
back books (heck..I even have a copy of Tunnels and Trolls RPG...well
enough about my age...hehe) and over the past year read all 10 of the WOT
novels...THEY ROCK!!!! Then I discovered that there was a RPG system based
on the books... A group of us got together last night and played the short
adventure in the Core Rule Book...needless to say we had a blast. I have
Prophesies of the Dragon but I'm looking for other modules as well. I know
that the contract Wizards of the Coast had with WOT is up and I don't know
where to get any other adventurers. Back in the day I just designed all
the adventures...but now I have a business to run...a wife and a little
one...needless to say I don't have time for design anymore. Are there any
other retail adventurers out? Is there anywhere for me to download ones
designed by fans? Thanks, Berb |

notes of my adventure should be up soon at Legends of
Darkness, but I have the feeling that it is probably a bit time
specific and specific for my characters for general use.

Isn't it always the way though? Except that for some
reason (possibly becuse when I began DM'ing I relied on bought material
for a little while as I gained my bearings) I seem to write all of my
adventures in the style of a pre packaged module. A good example is
speaking about the PC's in third person, ("If the PC's do this") and the
other day I caught myself writing "this adventure is designed for 4 3rd
level characters...." before stopping and thinking; WHO THE HELL AM I
TALKING TO? Ah well. it makes for good structure and adventure
sharing! More the better! Also, as a completely unrelated side note - Zarozynia, your picture is super suave! This post has been edited by Lariane Sedai on May 31 2004, 07:19 AM -------------------- Accepted of the White Tower who seeks to become a

Welcome to the board Berb! There are no official Modules for WoT as WotC only signed a two book agreement with Robert Jordan, the Core book and Prophesies of the Dragon, though like PP22 said you can check out Kingslayers Dagger. Manty -------------------- For Those About To Rock, We Salute You |

Wow....thanks for the great feedback...it's nice to
be on an "Active" board :-) I will definitely visit the links you guys
suggested...who know maybe I'll get my old "DM Writing" hat back on and
come up with some cool stuff. If I do I'll definitely post it for
ya'll. Man...it was so much fun back in my early teen years...playing D&D while jaming out to Boston and Zeplin. I remember how cool it was when I saw the kids on E.T. (the movie) playing D&D....hehe...I guess I'll always be a nerd at heart ![]() Ya'll have a good one...I'll check back in and let ya know what I found. Thanks again. Berb |

For what it's worth, I have in the past year pulled a
lot of adventure material out of adventures and maps that have appeared in
Dungeon magazine. Does it take a little work to convert them properly to
Wheel? Of course. But the beauty of the d20 system is the ease of
conversion. NPCs are the easiest: fighters-armsmen, rangers-woodsman,
sorcerer-wilder, rogue-wanderer, bard-gleeman, etc. Then its simply a
matter of fitting the adventure to the setting, such as inserting Wheel
specific goals and plots. Does a lot of the published material get left on the cutting room floor? Yes. But it beats creating something from scratch, which I, admittedly, am not as good at. But embellishing a published adventure with Wheel specific stuff is a solution that works for me. |

Yeah, using existing materials, even if only for a
base, is very wise. That's what, in my opinion, is the best thing about
d20, convertability (that's a real word, I invented it just now). In the Encounters Handbook I'm working on (still, yes still), I intend to have an entire campaign written, as well as a list of, like, 100 adventure hooks. It'll come out sooner if people help me, later if nobody does. Hopefull sometime within the next few months. -------------------- This is an old thing, boy. Older than Aes Sedai.
