I have something of a strange question. First a bit of background: I want to do LFR for home games in order to introduce some new gamers to 4e. I want to start at the beginning of a story arch and go through it to conclusion, but I noticed several areas only have 3 sets of three adventures. The problem is the LFR campaign guide says you'll only level once per three adventures or so. Any recommendations on how to deal with that in a home game without having them travel all over the Realms?

It is difficult, but not impossible, to use LFR mods without the expectation of travelling around the world. The DALE/DRAG/CORM regions are geographically close to each other and have some intertwining plot lines and can be augmented with some SPECs, COREs and MYRE.

I worked up a sample set of mods here. Should give a solid home game feel.

The first set of MINIs is made of 6 two-round adventures, so that should give about 12 nights worth of consecutive story as well.

And if you're playing it as a home game... you can also just level a lot more often

This may be more work than you want to do, but I'm just starting a campaign where I'm mixing together published LFR mods and myrealms adventures to help tie them together. For example the first several sessions are:
CORE1-5 (introducing the Netherese and the church of Shar as the bad guys)
PREQ3-1 (introducing the Harpers as the good guys who oppose the Netherese)
3 MYRE adventures in which the characters sneak into the Netherese Empire to ambush a military supply convoy
CORE1-10 (starting the Bane of Shadows sequence)
If everything goes accoring to plan, I'll start with 5th level characters and end up with low paragon level characters in time to run the NETH 3-x series as the conclusion of the campaign.
I heard that they are making a new video game, where you control the Netherese flying citadel of Sakkors, raining death on your helpless enemies below. Working title: Mythal Command.

If you want to continue with the NETH4-X series (premiering in January 2012), you may want to add all the adventures discussed on this forum post:

It's like you looked at my adventure log for my Sorcerer when making that post, John :D

That's certainly worth considering. I certainly have enough material to take the campaign well past the date when the NETH 4-xs become available. Trying to take down a shade prince is a good final quest to wrap up a campaign but I'm sure the new mods contain equally wild adventures.
