D&D 5E Temple of Elemental Evil-D&D Next

GameOgre · May 6, 2013

I got talked into running a long term(for us) play test of D&D Next. I was thinking about breaking out my copy of TOEE and just trying to wing that with the D&DN monster list and maybe redoing those not covered.

At this point I have little skill with the D&D Next rules specifically though so I wanted to run it by you guys and see what you thought of it.

Any huge issues right off the bat?

Most of the monsters are already in the playtest, and the ones that aren't (drelb, harginn) can be easily winged (though it couldn't hurt to prepare those ahead of time).

The only issue I've bumped into so far is the Juggernaut. Not quite sure how to convert that--you could probably run it exactly as written.

Also you might want to create the NPCs ahead of time, or reskin a higher level monster (the "human warrior" is pretty much a 0-level character in AD&D terms).

Try using my D&D Next Monstrous Index to look up monsters from the various D&D Next sources.

I would be eager to hear how your playtest goes! I ran a dungeon-crawl type playtest and had a lot of fun with it. It started with the pack before the December packet, with inflated PC damage, but it might give you an idea how Next can run in a dungeon setting.

It's always fun to read about other people's playtests; I hope you'll write one up.
