Hi All,
I've been somewhat struggling with a conversion on the OOP Palace of the Silver Princess. Now for those not in the know, this concerns the GREEN cover version, not the older ORANGE cover.
Strictly speaking, this is just one of those classic adventures that I remembered from my child hood. There is certainly nothing extraordinary or special about it, but there was a sort of flow and innocence about it that I always think of with fondness. But since it was made with the basic rules in mind there are certain parts of the adventure that I am unsure about converting to 5e.
For the most part, it seems logical to simply do a monster-to-monster conversion. In instances where the encounter might be too tough, I just drop the total number of creatures involved.
What I'd like to know though is what do most DMs do when the monster as presented in the original adventure is simply not conducive to a low-level adventure in 5th edition D&D? Just leave it? Remove the encounter all together? Substitute the monster for something else?
I try to always keep things as true to the original as possible simply for sake of nostalgia but that is not always easy. Particularly, the yellow mold, the wight and even the ogre. That seems a bit tough for a 1st level game which is what I wanted to use it for.
Any suggestions?
