I'm getting ready to start running a the old red box Dungeons and Dragons game for my brother and his kids. Basically getting them started in gaming a bit.

After trying a few google searches for some online adventures and such I've been having a tough time finding any free material online. Getting all sorts of results for other versions of the game but nothing for the old red box. So I was wondering if anybody has any links they could pass on for online resources.

Basically I want to see if they like the game before I start investing in any of the pdf's available off of rpgnow. Would really suck if I bought two or three and they decided they didn't like it first game off.

Thanks ahead of time.

Dragonsfoot has a number of things that you can download for Basic/Classic D&D.  Just go here:

Also, good reviews of the entire 'B-series' can be found here:

Thanks and much appreciated!  Damn that was fast.

I hate to be overly critical, but many DF adventures are a travesty of design that might as well have been rolled on the AD&D 1e random dungeon tables for their sheer lack of substantive content. Even TSR's modules had some vestige of plot to explain why they'd be worth a party's time -- an elelment that many Dragonsfoot modules lack.

I think think that you might do well to contact Calithena (he posts at Dragonsfoot and RPGnet) and ask for a copy of his "House of the Axe" stuff (it's Arduin material with 3e stats, but can esily be used with Basic D&D).  Also, the back issues of OD&Dities (Richard Tongue's fanzine) at Dragonsfoot contain some useful material.  

Finally, Greg MacKenzie's The Mountain of Evermore is exceptional (it's easily the cream of the crop when it comes to online Basic D&D adventures). That said, the site that I downloaded it from is noithing but broken links now. You may want to ask around at DF.
