[D20ragon]

I have been wanting to run either
A.savage tides
B.age of worms
C.shackled city
D.the sunless citadel campaign.

Any ideas of which one to run? I'm looking for:fun,ease of use,and epic scope,in that order.

Well there are some big differences with the modules you listed. I know Sunless Citadel takes 1st level characters thru level 3 ish.

The other's take 1st level characters thru level 20 ish. Which makes them more epic, since the main storyline carries thru all 20 levels.

I've personally run Sunless Citadel. I liked it, hardly epic. But characters are only 1-3 level. Simple to run, module lays out everything you need.

I've personally run Shackled City. I really liked it and it does have an epic quality to it. Can be difficult to keep track of reoccurring NPC's, particularly if the PC's get a bit off track. Keeping the background and plot in mind during NPC roleplaying can be a challenge.

Sorry,should have clarified. By sunless citidel campaign I ment all the adventures after it.

So compare to Sunless Citidel (1-3), followed by The Forge of Fury (3-5), The Speaker in Dreams (5-7), The Standing Stone (7-9), Heart of Nightfang Spire (10-13), Deep Horizon (13-15), Lord of the Iron Fortress (15-17), Bastion of Broken Souls (18-20).

All those modules are going to be easier to run than the other 1-20 campaigns. Mostly because the plots and background have nothing to do with each other, and thus easier for a DM to remember. The downside is the plots & background have nothing to do with each other, thus there is really no epic feeling to the campaign. Also some of the modules are great (Sunless Citidel), while others are subpar (Deep Horizon).

True,true. I have been leaning toward savage tides,do you know anything about it?

I've never played Savage Tide, so I can't give you a review. I'm sure you can find a review elsewhere. As far as I know Savage Tide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage_Tide) is only officially available by downloading several Dragon Magazines. Looking at the Paizo (http://paizo.com/dungeon/products/issues/savageTide) store it appears that 3 of the magazines are unavailable. This is awkward, leaving you with a less than ideal torrent option.

This is why I chose to run the Shackled City. Paizo reworked the dragon magazine articles into The Shackled City Adventure Path Hardcover (http://paizo.com/products/btpy8ysn?Dungeons-Dragons-The-Shackled-City-Adventure-Path-Hardcover).
