[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6852862, member: 6775477"] I could see an expanded and reimagined IoD. Part of the problem some have with it, is that it's a hex-crawl without any real purpose or meaning (acceptable back in the day, but people want more story now). A base setup on the island, with PCs working on various quests as they explore the island, expanding the difficulty of the quests with experience could be a really good product. Just reprinting and updated IoD isn't going to fly, IMO. I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it was the first real AP, so updating to 5E might be kinda nice. On the other hand, soooo many players already know the story, that it would be just acting out the novels, rather than playing a game. I own this adventure. I've played this adventure. I've run this adventure. No. Just No. It's a terrible idea. It's a one trick pony (mixing sci-fi with fantasy that it can't last beyond the one adventure. A completely re imagined adventure based loosely on the the concepts might work, but the adventure isn't strong enough on it's own. I LOVE this adventure! I could see an AP based on expanded locations. The second half of the adventure alone could be an AP (or even a whole setting!). Might need a better introduction though. As with IoD, this could be really good IF it's updated to include quests and goals, not just leaving things to the DM. [/QUOTE]
