I am using Keep on the Borderlands as the basis for a low-level sandbox for my crew, and dropping in various other modules around the wilderness map. Most of this is pretty standard stuff I have seen other people recommend:

• The hermit's oak tree becomes the entryway to The Hole in the Oak.
• The Incandescent Grottoes are off to the east of that.
• Quasqueton is the Cave of the Unknown (call me a traditionalist).
• Place Barrowmaze in the swamp where the lizardman mound is by default.
• Throw the Croaking Fane in the swamp further south, too.
• Put the Tomb of the Iron God on the big hill south of the Caves of Chaos.

This is already a lot! But technically there are two other 'entries' in the region map I was looking for good modules for: The bandit camp, and the spiders in the forest. Anyone have any good ideas for other level 1 modules that could slot in either of those?

Bonus points if they actually involve raiders and/or spiders. Not that the players know what's 'supposed' to be there, that's just me having fun with it.

(I know there's a good bandit HQ from Stonehell, but unfortunately the players have done that one already.)

EDIT -

Had 2 ideas for the bandits!

• The Moathouse from Village of Hommlet would absolutely work here! Not for my game because they have played that one already, but it would fit in great in general.
• I think I will drop in the Bandit Stronghold from the Evils of Illmire instead.

EDIT 2 -

And actually, I think Illmire also has the spider forest covered too - with the Spider Woods, natch!

That said, still very interested for other ideas!
