I received these questions today from a awesome Aunt who wants to create a campaign for here nephews, and I thought to ask the community for some suggestions and opinions... here is the question...

The special interests are:

1) Dragons--of all types. Sword & Sorcery, slaying dragons, riding dragons, working with dragons to accomplish goals.

2) Liches and all things (as well as all the undead; necromancers, vampires, etcetera)

3) Portals--using, creating, destroying

4) Labyrinths--If there is a module specifically containing a story about finding treasure in a labyrinth, that would be super helpful

5) One of them just watched The Mummy and Indiana Jones for the first time and that's all he talks about.

I asked her and am assuming it is a 1st level new startup campaign and perhaps a series of modules that each successive one accomplishes one or two of the stated goals... All help appreciated.

Best, Disco

I agree with benjoshua's commentary, but there are creative ways to introduce these criteria using existing adventures, or by creating your own, which is a more involved and advanced approach.

Here are some ideas based on the criteria provided:

Level               Adventure                                                                Special Interests Matched
1                     The Lichway (OSRIC, White Dwarf #9 originally)          Liches & undead, crypt-crawling, skeletal hordes, necromantic threat begins
                       The Lichway Project.pdf - Google Drive
2                     Maze of the Riddling Minotaur (M2)                             Solo adventure, labyrinths, maze dungeon with riddles and a minotaur
3                     The Lost City (B4)                                                     The Mummy / Indiana Jones, buried ziggurat, desert ruins, secret cults, undead
4                     Into the Fire (Dungeon #1)                                        Young red dragon, portals
5–6                 Dragons of Despair (DL1)                                           Dragons, Sword & Sorcery
6–7                 Tomb of the Lizard King (I2)                                       Undead, traps, jungle tyrant, Indiana Jones theme, swamp, traps, lost relics
7–8                 The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga (AD&D 2E)                    Portals, labyrinth, planar puzzle-solving
8–10               Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun (WG4)                          Liches, undead, cultists, portals

TSR also published several Indiana Jones role-playing products that might appeal to her nephews.

Not all of the listed character levels match the original adventure recommendations. The "monsters" and encounters may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Some of these adventures can be expensive to purchase, but digital or print-on-demand (POD) versions may offer more affordable options.

There are many other great options out there.  These are just a few examples to consider.

Ah yes, ToH.  That's a good one.  Nothing says "Welcome to D&D" like instant death and disintegration. :)

Portals of Torsh from Judges Guild. Fairly low-level.
