D&D 5E Published Adventures You Have Run in 5e

[TerraDave]

Many more conversions then I would expect, and not many 3rd party 5e adventures. Speaking of conversions...

B1 Into the Unknown
B4 Lost City
X1 Ilse of Dread
X2 Castle Amber

CoS (bits here and there)

Forge of Fury from TotYP

One question this begs is "what do you get from a module?" Current monster stats clearly aren't the priority. And is it easier to convert an old module then trying to adapt one of the newer hard backs?

How does it play in 5E? I've heard that adventure could become a gombat grind in 3.x, so very curious.

It was grindy. Hommlet + Moathouse are good in their various incarnations, but the crater ridge mines went on and on, with not enough to really liven them up besides combat encounters. I was relived when my players figured out how to use waterwalk to get to the inner part of the crater-temple.

My guess is that it would play better in 5e, as it just tends to go faster, and characters are a little more robust and hence could make it through larger chunks of temple crawling.

I'm running Hoard of the Dragon Queen right now. I'm adding in the Forge of Fury from Yawning Portal in Chapter 4, which'll tie into a couple of meta-plots I've added to make the adventure feel more like Eberron (one dealing with one of my Warlock's patrons, the other with the cultists having access to byeshk weaponry that shouldn't actually exist).

B4 Lost City

That's one I have been thirsty to run for a while now, but it has an established location in my campaign and it's nowhere near the current pcs.

One question this begs is "what do you get from a module?" Current monster stats clearly aren't the priority. And is it easier to convert an old module then trying to adapt one of the newer hard backs?

That's a great question (or two questions)!

I get ideas and inspiration, and cool things to run that I didn't set up. I often snatch bits and pieces from adventures- anything from a piece of lore, single trap, npc idea, or encounter setup to a full dungeon or location.

As to the matter of whether it's easier to convert an older module or adapt one into my campaign, I'd say it's all the same to me. It's easy as butter to convert to 5e on the fly except in the case of some very complicated material that I want to keep thematically similar (e.g. the doomdreamers). And fitting a canned adventure into my world usually requires significant adaptation no matter what edition it's from.

[Flexor the Mighty!]

My 5e DM'ing era consisted of Hoard of the Dragon Queen, a 3.5 Goodman games module (the Scaly God) adapted, and Out of the Abyss. I've moved to a different system now.
