This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming.

If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

D&D products with lots of (very) short adventures in them

Atlas Games released a series of books called En Route, En Route II, and En Route III. Each contained a bunch of short adventures that you could drop in between the major adventures in your campaign. Like most Atlas stuff, it's pretty interesting. A number of the adventures are unusably weird for the typical D&D campaign, but there's enough good stuff in there to make them a good investment.

You can find them pretty cheap (along with a lot of Atlas d20 stuff) at Half Price books, if you have one local to you. I also believe that Atlas sells dinged up copies and package deals via Warehouse 23.

These are for 3.x I'm guessing?  

I'll keep an eye our for them (no Half Price Books in Atlanta, as far as I know).

"Unusably weird"?  That sounds like a challenge...

The City of Greyhawk boxed set had a slew of single page adventures printed on cardstock.  I didn't like the city as depicted in the product (too Forgotten Realmsy for me) but those card were great.  One adventure featured fighting a mexican standoff with hobgoblins at a farm.  Another featured a goat that was running for mayor of greyhawk.  There were several others.

The weirder ones could kick off interesting story arcs in games, or at least radically change your game. For instance, there's on adventure that takes place in a UFO filled with greys that has landed near a farm, grabbed a few cattle, and done experiments on them.

Warehouse 23 is probably your best bet to track them down. The newest one came out 2 years ago, IIRC.

Those adventures were really cool, probably the high point of that product.

The From the Ashes boxed set also has adventures like that, though both fetch $40+ on eBay.
