Well met,
does anybody know of goos sources for full-fledged modules and/or adventures available for download (and for free, that is)
And I would appreciate if anybody could point out, which of those that are available are set in the Realms.
Possibly, fellow students of these Halls of Candlekeep are willing to share some of their own stuff??
For my part, I am going to post an adventure idea in a few days or weeks (in order to avoid spoilers for my players, it depends on how fast we´re going to finish), introducing a technique to introduce an BBEG and using this NPC to connect several published adventures with your own basic story-arc, so there is no flavour of side-trecking involved. You´ll hear from me when I´m ready. |

OK, I do noz use file-sharing programs. My two lil´ brothers used the "K" Program a LOT, and both have gotten their systems crashed many times over. So there is no way I´m ever gonna go into that...
By the way, in a neighbouring community, a friend of my brothers, an avid collector of MP3-files got arrested for software-piracy and has now to pay a 50.000,00 Euro compensation to the music-industry.
By the way, I am an honorable person, and download only stuff legally available. Don´t own a single copyrighted file. Sounds boring? Well, may be, but I don´t carry around that 50K...
Well, i found out recently that dndadventures.com has quite a few stuff available, but i am positive that my fellow students here know of even more...
keep posting... |

Same here. If anything, buying copyrighted material rather than obtaining it for free makes it more illegal, not less. That's what online piracy actually is. If you make profit on something that's not yours and the person who actually owns it didn't give you permission, you're stealing.
Now, if Kazaa -- I mean, Skullport  -- isn't making a profit (that is, if all proceeds go back into maintaining the site and nothing more), then I believe that's different. However, I'm not a copyright lawyer.
Personally, I'd just advise you to stay away from that site. Too dangerous. |

No offense, but I fail to see how the fact Kazza is charging now would make anything more legal or illegal than it was before. |

Actually I think when Yasraena was talking abotu Kazza she was meaning the amount of not commercially published adventures you can download. Adventures that have been created by people like us. These are not illegal to download because the author of them have placed them on the p2p server. The Same goes to the various netbooks. These are also freeware thats availible on Kazza.

You know that's actually a good analogy. |

You don't want to go there anyway. |

Well met
Thank ye SiriusBlack! Indeed such is not to be discussed within these halls  The latter writings herein will be removed on the moro.
Just a gentle reminder to all Scribes, please refrain from sharing such information publicly within Candlekeep. Thank ye |

Ah, a subtle warning, if I will.
With Kazaa, you run the risk of attracting a virus, and should take necessary precautions to avoid such a fate....
Just giving my 2 cents worth. |

Well, thank you so far.
But I have to admit that I´ve been in the FR-DMing thing since 2e came out, so most of the stuff you mentioned is already known by my players. For the candlekeep ones, i downloaded the quite a while back already, same with the wizards website. Oh, and i looked into Northern Journey as well...
I was just wondering, if it´s just me, or ain´t nobody else finding anything more than that on the web?? |

Of course, they don't take that much of a conversion, at least not the ones I've seen. |

WOTC has a free downloads page that features some Realms adventures. Check out the following
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/downloads
but be warned, the adventures are from previous editions of D&D. |

Well met
A number of adventures can be found over in the Adventures in Faerun section.
I'll certainly look forward to reading your upcoming adventure  |
