Why is it so bad to update great modules for play testing? Modules like Keep on The Borderlands, The Giants trilogy (G1-G3), Tomb of Horrors etc., have stood the test of time and should be used when appropriate in play testing. And it was probably easier and more cost effective to simply convert a well known and respected module to 5th edition that it would be to create one from scratch. The high school I teach at is using converted modules (S1 & G1) in our inaugural D&D (3.5) tournament because they were so well constructed. Looking to the past for inspiration happens all the time. Look at the new Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger for example, they look pretty similar to the old ones. Now obviously there are many good modules out there covering every edition of D&D, having a classic as part of the play test is a good thing in my opinion. Keep the good stuff, dump the bad stuff. Just my 2¢ worth.</blockquote>
