[QUOTE="JonnyP71, post: 7341310, member: 6788862"] I've run X2, X4 and X5 with mixed levels of success using 5E rules. X2 took a long time to convert, but hell was it worth it - my players loved it, with its wacky pseudo-french theme. It's very very long though, as battles tend to take a little longer to resolve in 5E than they did in B/X. Averoigne could do with a little more fleshing out. X4 was also a hit, the set piece nature of the events worked well with 5E. It's as far for the 6-8 encounter day as can be imaginable, but it still works, due to the big battles being very big. Thus it was no problem for with the PCs going all out with everything they had. The Abbey at the end is brilliant. X5 was a bit more troublesome, it took me a long time to decide what I wanted The Master to be. It all ended with near TPK, my players enjoyed it, but it was hard work behind the scenes for me. Had they been successful in X5 we would have continued to X10 - now THAT would have been a challenge! I'd love to give B4 a go using 5E rules, that's my favourite in the B series. [/QUOTE]
