What order should the quest packs be played?

[zep]

I've heard people give different playing orders for the quest packs, but I think the general consensus is:

Main System
Kellar's Keep
Return of the Witch Lord
Against the Ogre Horde
Wizards of Morcar/Zargon
BQP
EQP
Dark Company

The first five have clues to the order found in various info. Agin's Inn(RIP) had a nice layout of this. It can still possibly be found at this link via the wonderful wayback machine.

That's the way I plan on doing it, along with the other single Quests kind of thrown in at random, just to change the pace of things.

Thats the way i planned on doing it if i ever got a group together here, with the individuals thrown in randomly also.

My layout is totally different! Just kidding

That's the route I also take for the official quest packs. I too throw in the other quests in between to break things up a bit, and I put a few of my homebrew stuff in between too.

There is one thing I've done differently however. The last time I played through nearly the entire set, I ran the solo quests in the Elf and Barbarian packs at the same time (two boards). That way I didn't need to schedule solo sessions for everyone. Then the players chose which pack they wanted to play though first, EQP, or BQP. They chose EQP then BQP.

drathe: In your opinion is BQP harder than EQP or vice versa?

Phoenix: You said your quest packs will be after the Dark Company, but what order will those be in? And do you have any intention of using Nicodemus' quest packs?

I find the Barbarian Pack has a higher difficulty. Sure the Elf Pack has some Ogres, but have you seen what the Yeti can do?

No. I've never played either!

You should check him out. The Polar Warbear is a real treat too!

Probably more of drathe's Quests
Then, Nicodemus' Quests.

All in all, close to 150+ Quests
