I'd like to put your attention on the release here in the library of the "Best of friends" adventure, designed by Stephen "wannabe" Mac.
I've DMed this adventure a while back, and I think it's a good low level adventure. It's mainly based on roleplaying and investigating, and ends with the tell tale "battle with the creature". It's a lot of fun, I recommend reading it!

Just read it, and IOM it's a phenomenal adventure. It's short, detailed enough for a harried DM, yet doesn't insult the talented DM's ability to expand and modify. The villain(s) are suitably Gothic and creepy. One of the best cases of making the most of a single creature that I've ever seen.

Aha! So you admit that you have seen it before us, right?Joël of the Fraternity wrote: I've DMed this adventure a while back, and I think it's a good low level adventure.
So you actually confess secret meetings in the middle of the night, backstabbing of your peers, shady handshakes with creepy guys, info trading etc?
Thanks (Stwahd)wannabe!

I also ran this quite a while ago. I remember really enjoying it, but my players never caught on to the fact that it wasn't over (RL newbies at the time).
They left the village quickly and never found out about the other deaths afterwards. (I also always wondered about my DM skills for this one...)
The good news is they will find out when they come through town again sooner or later... We'll see how that goes...

Aww....y'all are making me blush....
I think its worth noting that Dungeon Magazine actually turned this down way back in 2003 or 4 (when it was fresh and untarnished and all that). Alas, c'est la vie.
Thanks so much for the commentary, y'all are actually making think that I might want to get back into this Ravenloft thing permanently
