Thank you everyone for replying.

I ordered the Second edition Fantasy Craft book from Amazon this weekend.  I should have the book Wednesday.

I am thinking of doing this as a one off some session.  Is there a good published adventure that focus on the system? 

I would like setting classic fantasy or dark fantasy.  If it is dark fantasy, I would run it on Oct. as a Halloween adventure.

The Time of High Adventure has three adventures all set in the same mini-setting. The first two are also available as pdfs from DriveThru

Reality Blurs has six adventures out in there Old School Fantasy line.

Then there's the stuff from Wyrmstone.

What sort of adventure are you looking for?

The Darkest Hour can go pretty dark if you're willing to take it there. It's Little House on the Prairie meets 28 Days Later. However, to really get good and dark with it, you should plan to run long. You can spend 6 or 7 hours on it and not slow down.

Cleansing of Black Spur is much more Classic in it's approach: "There's a ruined castle. Go see what's in it." It's a little more suited to a one-night game (if by "one night" we mean 4 to 5 hours).

The Vault is a dungeon crawl, if a reasonably brief one.

All three are in the Time of High Adventure.

Wyrmstone's got a big one that I never tire of suggesting: The Lost Prince. It's another that can go anywhere from four hours to three sessions if you want to do it that way, and it's got a nice bit of role-playing/character drama at the end that I've never heard complaints on.

And this summer's GenCon offering, Sins of the Fathers, is shaping up in a "murder mystery" vein. Or at least, I hope it is.  Smiley

First off, I picked up the second printing not the second edition.   Embarrassed

I am looking for some good role playing and combat.  I have one player who does not like the idea dungeons. If there a reasonable reason for the dungeon and a good reason to go into it she is fine with them.  I think she does not like “hey, there a cave with a bunch of goblin in it let go kill them all.

I think The Darkest Hour and The Cleansing of the Black Spur adventures both look good.  
I also think Reality Blurs’ Darkness Over Keryhk Nhor, Hunger of the Iron Mage and Tangle in the Silver Vine look good too.

I will have to find the The Lost Prince adventure.

There is no second edition of Fantasy Craft, just a second printing (which thanks to all to errata/changes is much like a second edition). If the inside covers are black instead of white, you're good to go.

I got my book yesterday.  I have black inside my cover.  I have read up to classes.  The system looks good so far.  I am looking forward to trying it.

Yup. I wrote the Castille book, plus chunks of many others.

No! Really?! My favourite character ever was a Castillian!
