Pre-Written Adventure Modules which work well in Ptolus:

  1. Book of Challenges (Level 1-20) This is an amazing book (D&D 3E) of challenges, like traps, but WAY better. These would work really well for Delver’s Guild & Ghul’s Labyrinth Dungeon Crawl campaigns.
  2. The Shackled City 12 Part Adventure Path (Level 1-20) (TOTALLY FREE!)
    1. Adventure Path: The Shackled City is a 12 part Adventure Path written in old Dungeon Magazines by Paizo for D&D 3.5 I’m creating guides showing you how to use this entire adventure path in Ptolus instead of the Grayhawk city of Cauldron. I will be using these in my Ugly Inc. Ptolus Campign.
    2. Life’s Bazaar Part 1 (Levels 1-3) – Character investigate recent kidnappings leading them to a slave operating from Underdark passages below the city. There is a 5E Conversion of Life’s Bazaar on DMSguild.com
    3. Flood Season (Levels 4-6) – In this adventure the city of Cauldron [Ptolus] is threatened by flooding during the rainy season. Magical wands of “control water” normally used to control the flooding are stolen and taken to a lair below the city. There is a 5E Conversion of Flood Season on DMSguild.com
    4. Zenith Trajectory (Levels 6-8) (Coming Soon!) – Characters are asked to rescue Zenith Splintershield, a dwarf who has been missing since heading into the Underdark to fight evil. There is a 5E Conversion of Zenith Trajectory on DMSguild.com
  3. The Savage Tide Adventure Path. 12 Parts. Levels 1-20. 100% Free.
    1. Adventure Path: Savage Tide is 12 modules published in old Dungeon Magazines by Paizo for D&D 3.5. You can find all of these on Archive.org
    2. There Is No Honor (Levels 1-3) – In this opening adventure, the characters are drawn into a murderous family feud. Undead pirates and a powerful thieves guild feature heavily.
    3. The Bullywug Gambit (Levels 3-5) – Hired to find a missing brother, the characters discover a secret hideout and witness the effects of the Savage Tide.
    4. The Sea Wyvern’s Wake (Levels 5-7) – The characters begin their journey to the Isle of Dread; the lost city of Tamoachan and a monstrous sargasso are featured highlights. This adventure would take the PCs out of Ptolus, but it’s fun to do a ship adventure plus the PCs will wind up having to race bath to Ptolus.
  4. The Sunless Citadel (3E) (Level 1) – This classic dungeon adventure could easily be addapted into Ptolus. Plus, it connects to the Forge of Fury. The citadel could easily be ascribed to the old, now sunken Ptolus and put off any cavern or tunnel. This was also redone for 5th Edition and can be bought individually or as part of the Tales from the Yawning Portal.
  5. Forge of Fury (3E) (Level 3) – Site-based dungeon crawl in the dwarven fortress of Khundrukar. This could easily be attached to Dwarvenhearth under Ptolus. Or used standalone. This was also redone for 5th Edition and can be bought individually or as part of the Tales from the Yawning Portal.
  6. Tales from the Yawning Portal (5E) – For $24.99 you get Seven Dungeons. PLUS, Roll20.net has the bundle for you with all the maps and tokens setup! Tales from the Yawning Portal on Roll20.net

  9. Night Below 5E Conversion – HUGE campaign adventure that takes PCs from 1st to 14th level. You could put the entire thing beneath Ptolus, or just use parts of it. This was originally a 2nd Edition AD&D module, but it’s been updated to 5th Edition.
