I'm kicking around the idea of actually using a ready made campaign module. I've always just winged it, but it's getting a little rough to keep things new, so I figure I'll give my brain a rest and use a readymade.

I've been running a smuggling campaign where the players are running weapons from the Rebellion to the Trianii resistance in the Corporate Sector and stolen advanced tech from the Corporate Sector to the Rebellion. They have contacts in both resistance movements, obviously, but the players are free agents, they have no formal association with either the Rebellion or the Trianii Resistance (beyond one character being a member of the Trianii species).

I know there's a big pile of campaign modules and adventure sets out there, but I haven't read most of them. Anyone have recommendations on some that would be a good fit for adapting to an ongoing campaign? I'm using the 2E R&E rules, but I'm not averse to adapting 1E modules if they'll work well.

Well, I've never played it, but there's a module called "The Politics of Contraband" which must certainly be an easy fit for your campaign. It features 5 short adventures centered around, well, smuggling of course.

That's right, I do have that one. I'll have to check it out when I get home. I've also heard good things about the Black Sands of Socorro. Anyone familiar with that one?

Black Sands of Socorro isn't really a module... more like a description for a setting...

I myself am not too crazy about it, it's like Star Wars in a type of Arabia, nomadic land... whatever. Then too keep things fresh, the moon is an ice world. Ho-hum.

If anyone was curious, I ended up using the Meltdown scenario from Instant Adventures, and it worked well. Lots of fun was had, and they even managed to pick up another freighter. Now one of the party has their own ship, a bog standard Ghtroc, which will open up my GM characters and their YT-2400 to other plot hooks.
