Spoilers for "Horror's Harvest": The scenario is basically Invasion of the Body Snatchers set in Ravenloft (I can't remember which domain off the top of my head, but I want to say Darkon); a meteor falls to earth and a sage/astronomer hires the PCs to retrieve it for study. Little does he know...

You could utilize some or all of the optional rules in the DMG to make it more like 4e (though not exactly the same mind you), but that doesn't really help those playing in Organized Play campaigns.

Here's the relevant text from the raise dead spell: If I remember correctly, The Curse of Strahd utilizes the optional madness rules for anyone raised from the dead in Barovia, so there's some ideas you can mine that aren't too severe.

D&D psionics isn't cobbled on material from MA/GW - both share the same literary and pop culture influences. For psionics, it's Sterling Lanier's Hiero's Journey, which is referenced in Appendix N and the 1e GW foreword. BTW, the book is awesome and includes an literary example of a character...

Science-Fantasy has long been a part of D&D, as well as it's literary and pop culture antecedents, so I must disagree with your assertion that psionics has no business being in D&D. It may not be for everyone or every campaign, but it definitely has a place in the game.

The psionic ones are even better!

I have a soft spot for xvarts; I used them extensively in one of my 4e Dungeon adventures, though in that edition they're called xivorts.

I could only vote once, I so voted for the Meenlock. However, I wouldn't mind seeing al-mir'aj, carbuncle, flail snail, nilbog, sheet phantom, or xvart in a new MM.

"Horror's Harvest" by Chris Perkins (Dungeon 38) is not only one of my favorite Ravenloft scenarios, it's one of my favorite 2e adventures.

Someone earlier mentioned monsters. Yeah, 2e had boat loads of really, really cool monsters (and lots of dumb ones). You could fill several 5e monster books with just the coolest monsters from 2e.

Nerath was destroyed by a massive gnoll horde. Here's a time line that someone created from the various 4e sources: http://nentirvale.wikidot.com/modernage

I bought "Battle for the Undercity" based on the author's reputation. I haven't run it, but it looks good from my read through.

I bought "Battle for the Undercity" based on the author; it's a nice little adventure.

I've bought a handful of adventures and one or two monster files; I'm mainly focused on proven names (whether professional or otherwise), so I wish there was better search functionality on the website, but I'm otherwise satisfied with my purchases. I'm not really interested in the endless...

Not to mention that all five of the 5e D&D adventure hardcovers feature many instances of bog standard monsters from the MM modified slightly.

Sithicus post-Lord Soth was updated in Dragon 351; I don't have my copy in front of me, but I think some of the kender are still there.

Interestingly, there's already a D&D adventure based on King Lear that features giants - albeit it is a 2e adventure. Check out "Lear the Giant-King" by Mike Selinker in Dungeon 78.

According to my copy of Demihuman Deities, Sharindlar - the dwarven goddess of mercy, healing, fertility, and love - would be the dwarven god most concerned with agriculture. Here is a passage from page 83: If you're looking for dwarven deities focused on skills, Dugmaren Brightmantle...

Assuming that you're in compliance with the terms of the OGL, it's pretty much just a matter of trademarks; avoid problems with them and you're OK. US Copyright law says you can't copyright game rules - just their literary expression - and the OGL (well, technically the d20 SRD released under...

MM2 hands down; there's plenty of old monsters that still need to be converted...I'd probably call it Fiend Folio or Creature Catalog though.
