    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    I realized rather belatedly that I should probably define a couple of terms that I use that are from 4e. They'll pop up in custom stat blocks; if I haven't used them above, I'm using "shift" in Serini Glistermane's stat block. A shift is moving without provoking opportunity attacks. Push...

    Nope. I find that when I listen to a book, my attention wanders pretty badly. I read it.

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    Yesterday's notes: 15. The Obscene Tapestry depicts Seclaidra rather than Malcanthet. The Shadowy Tapestry shows the somatic components to the following spells, with the following Int (Arcana) DCs to discern what they are: Lorloveim’s shadowy transformation (DC 18), wall of shadows (DC 16)...

    There's also the Warlock's Walk, which RJK published online apparently? I haven't seen it but plan to hunt it up.

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    I think I've settled on a CR 19 version, which I'll post next time I update my notes here.

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    And then there's the Terrible Iron Golem. Whose CR 16 value puts him at... a normal iron golem. And he's supposed to be way tougher than a standard iron golem. So yeah, there's an example of something where my general approach has to give way. I can't both be faithful to the concept and get the...

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    A couple of general notes: In converting creatures, I am generally less worried about an exact conversion and more about being faithful to the concept and getting the CR about right. Also, vis-a-vis naming conventions, you'll note that I did an "Air Elemental Elder" and not an "Elder Air...

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    Okay, here's the first bit. As I go on and make sufficient progress, I'll eventually upload a pdf of what I've done in the OP. For now: DUNGEON 112 The Maures: In Cydra, the Maures were some of the last scions of the noble line of Imperial Wotan, who were displaced when the dragon Dekrasode...

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    Will do- I'll probably post it here as I go. Fair warning- I'll be making pretty significant alterations to the lore and npcs referenced to make it fit into my own campaign. First up will be deciding who the Maures are/were in my game, as well as subbing in campaign-appropriate names for...

    Dungeon Crawler Carl is breaking crowdfunder records

    It wasn't the humor for me, it was that the creatures that were supposed to be alien were too human. I've noticed that that can kill my interest in a story before.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl is breaking crowdfunder records

    Congrats and good luck to them. I read the first DCC novel and found it to be disappointing after all the buzz I had heard about it. I finished it but didn't feel compelled to get the next one. But it was okay. And I thought that it would probably make a better game than a story (at least for...

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    I found a year old Reddit post by ol' Robilar himself saying that he's working on a conversion and continuation of MC. Fingers crossed, hopefully there has been some good progress. In any event, time permitting, I will probably start my initial conversion work later today.

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    The fact that some WotC content ain't grand doesn't mean you should put other stuff that isn't great in your game, too; sometimes it means you should not use that bit of WotC content. As for the rest, I think what you need to do is to be more explicit and descriptive about what playstyle...

    I was talking about the ones in Dungeon; I don't actually have WG5. But that might be a place to start! Thanks!

    Bumping for visibility. I'm starting to think I may have to start working on this myself.

    D&D 5E (2014) Additional spell resources?

    If you're open to homebrews, I have a ton, including many, many conversions. A few of these are possibly NSFW.

    D&D General Has anyone converted Maure Castle to 5e?

    Basically what the title says - I am thinking about running MC in a 5.0 game. I don't mind winging it/doing the work to convert stuff, but if it has already been done, I would love to at least take a look at it. Thanks!
