Dungeons and Dragons ScenariosThis is the place to put all of our D&D adventure type scenarios. Come here when you want to browse user submitted adventures.
The more I look at this forum, the more I want to get involved with creating some scenarios (or at least, start getting some ideas onto virtual paper). Much like Darkmage7a's thread, I'll post some random ideas, and I appreciate any and all input/feedback.
I actually got a pic up, and there will be more to follow.
I'll divide the thread into a few areas: Dungeons, Campaigns, Alternate Tourney Rules, Traps, Treasure, and Random Ideas (which will hopefully evolve into one of the above). Please chime in with any thoughts, critiques, etc. I've been playing Heroscape for a long time and pride myself on unit analysis and competitive play, but I've never been much of a customs/scenario guy. I'm turning over a new leaf with this, and appreciate any help I can get.
The biggest project here is Betrayals of Utgar, which is gonig to be the biggest Heroscape campaign ever created (that I'm aware of, at least). It tries to incorporate every general aspect of Heroscape into one campaign - kill 'em all battles, scenario battles, dungeon crawls, common/uncommon/unique units, power and treasure glyphs, traps, plus new features I've created such as an Overworld (based on the map of Valhalla, with actual Valhallan locations and lore) you can traverse, random enemy encounters, shops where you can purchase Treasure Glyphs, Inns where you can rest to heal your wounds, Secrets that allow the Player to find more advanced treasure but aren't necessary to finish the game, and a colisseum that lets you fight hero vs. hero battles to win treasure. All of this is tied together with a story that attempts to explain how the war of the Valkyrie ended and the aftermath.
It's still a work in progress but is coming along nicely. There are previews of some of the dungeons and battles already up below (note that some of this may change slightly, but it will all be in the game for the most part). The Overworld Map and updated Beastiary is also up. The Shops available in each town are up below, but those will be changing as I've decided to just use the Treasure Glyphs we now have, since there are so many. There is also some of the beginning of the story dispersed throughout this thread to give you an idea of where I'm heading with it, and an overview of how the campaign works.

Total Darkness Trap: The entire room is plunged into darkness. The treasure is lost forever, all figures subtract one from their movement value, and the Player that sprung the trap must remove an unrevealed Order Marker (that’s not the X) from one of their Army Cards.
Sudema and Rechet Statues Trap: The statues of Sudema and the Rechets spring to life, the DM immediately takes his Turn 1, and play proceeds normally.
Defeat Your Inner Darkness Trap: The DM places another figure of the Hero (or proxies him) adjacent to the hero that sprung the trap, and a new round begins immediately, with only the Hero and the Doppelganger allowed to have Order Markers. If the Player's Hero is defeated, the glyph remains there and face-down. If the Player's Hero wins, he obtains the treasure. Darrak Ambershard’s “Disarm Trap” Special Power has no effect.
The Trees Are Alive!: Roll one unblockable attack die against every friendly figure adjacent to an Evergreen Tree, Jungle Brush or Jungle Tree. If the trap is sprung, the treasure glyph remains there and face-down.
