Against the Cult of the Reptile God.

My quest for the perfect starting point for an Old School campaign is still underway, stymied somewhat by too much time at work & other less important distractions. I did however manage to pick up that rarest of things a low level AD&D module the titular Against the Cult of the Reptile God.

I must admit this one has up to now slipped under my radar, but at £2 on eBay seemed worth a punt and on receiving & reading it my optimism seems well founded.

First up are the nefarious goings on of a cult in a small rural settlement which should give plenty of opportunity for investigative roleplaying so the PCs can get to the bottom of things & then a short trek through marshland to confront the Reptile God in its lair- a two level dungeon.
For my money the adventure is a tough ask for low level characters but help is available through the agency of a higher level NPC, my personal taste would be to reduce the difficulty level a little and let the players take the glory for themselves, down the line this should allow for a little more prestige in the eyes of the townsfolk rather than just looking like hangers on the coat tails of the local big cheese.

Now how to convince a bunch of jaded forty somethings to give up their limited spare time to commit to a couple of weekend sessions to play this through.
