First time in Ravenloft

I'm a first-time Ravenloft DM (actually, first-time DM period) and I've got a question about fan-made adventures.

I've got a nice little campaign lined up, but I'm finding that it's rather linear, and thus I'd like to add a few side quests. For this purpose, I was hoping to find a few short fan-made adventures. Can anyone recommend a place to find some good ones, or would I just be better off running old 2nd edition canon adventures and coming up with (or finding) a conversion?

Thank you!

There's CotN: Demons at www.kargatane.com as well as the Forgotten Children.

Nine of Hearts is avaliable here in the Library. I haven't ran it yet, but it seems fun.

Well, I had a look at the Kargatane ones, and CoTN: Demons is a Demons sourcebook, while the other one looks rather interesting. As for Nine of Hearts, I've had a read over it before, and had completely forgotten about it! Indeed it looks like a fun adventure to run.

Thanks!

Hey, welcome.

The Vault section of the site will give you adventure hooks for many domains; and the Mausoleum offers the list of fan-made articles, with the sources. In this, there are many adventures also.

If you're not above spending a little cash and doing some conversion, check out paizo.com. You can get most of the 2nd Edition Ravenloft books there four 4 dollars apiece. Also, WotC has some of the old Ad&D Ravenloft adventures available for download.

I know how you feel. I'm a first time Ravenloft/first time DM my own self. :D

Whoever get the royalties doesn't matter at all (and you are all wrong on this question, anyway :roll: ). The writers are paid a one-time fee to write the books.

Ah, sorry about that. Perhaps I should re-familiarize myself with the rules... Thank you for removing that, then!
