Sacrilege I know but it's my favourite dungeon for kicking off a new campaign of just about any old-school game.
A few tiny nips and tucks but in all other ways, the classic Holmes dungeon with a French accent.

Nicely done! "The Fallen Tower" and "Beneath the Fallen Tower" are evocative titles that I haven't seen used for the scenario before. Thanks for including my suggestion for a simple starting scenario.
One minor typo noted: the first "s" in scroll of levitation is not bolded.

Very nice! I'm going to try E&S next Saturday in a small sandbox campaign, I'll be sure to drop this in somewhere  We should really have a section for this game.

So do you guys use the XP for treasure rule? Or do you think that would level PC's too fast?

The session worked great by the way, I especially enjoyed getting to flesh out the rest of the tower and surrounding countryside.
