D&D 4E What 4E Adventures are Best for Conversion to 5E?

[Hexmage-EN]

So I'm thinking of converting a short 4E adventure to to 5E for a one-shot. Any suggestions, 4E people? Any level is fine.

So far I'm considering The Slaying Stone, the demonic maze section of Thunderspire Labyrinth, and Domain of Dread: Histaven. I thought about converting Lord of the White Field but decided against it since I just ran an undead heavy campaign.

I converted Keep on the Shadowfell and it ran fine and was not that much different to scale things.

Several of the Goodman 4E Adventures- Mists of Madness is great for a oneshot in particular.

Also, Cairn of the Winter King

A one shot is tricky, since you can usually only fit three encounters in a session in 4e (at least unless you've really fine-tuned your playstyle for speed). Most of the published adventures are simply too long.

If you had the time to devote to it, I'd recommend Demon Queen's Enclave, since it's an amazing adventure. Given your constraints, I'd say fleshing out something from Dungeon Delve is your best bet. My copy is at my house and I'm at my girlfriend's, so I'm afraid I can't be more specific, but as I recall, most of the adventures in there are just sketched out but provide a good starting point for the DM to expand on. Each gives you three roughly level-appropriate encounters, and some of them are quite cool in tactical terms.

The Last Breaths of Ashenport.

You could use one of the old Dragon magazine adventures before it went away. Was that still 4e, or did that go away while still in 3e.

Madness at Gardmore Abbey

Madness at Gardmore Abbey

came here to suggest just that.

I do plan to convert Gardmore Abbey sometime. I'm focusing on a short one now, though.

A lot of my current group didn't play 4E but did hear about all the hate it got, so I'm partially motivated by wanting to present a great adventure from 4E.

Madness at Gardmore Abbey

I ran this, converted to Pathfinder on the fly. It's a good module.
