[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7472624, member: 6895991"] [MENTION=6716779]Zardnaar[/MENTION] Kudos for notiung that the old stuff is often not known by younger generations of players. That's to my experience, gamers in my group are approx. 15 years younger than me so I can use my old 2e stuff and be sure they never heard about it in detail. 2e Ravenloft had some of the best adventures for RP orientated players Dragonlance has only one interesting area: the war of the lance. And 5e will not change that. So players best either play the heroes of the lance or play some other guys whith the heroes of the lance not existing. I still argue that gladiator should be the battlemaster and fighter the champion, since a gladiator is not a tank but rather a sophisticated fighter with many tricks and maneuvers . I still say that arcane magic out of defiler / preserver maybe warlock Templars would water down one of the core DS themes so no 5e bards and eldritch knights for me. General stuff On timelines: as with DL there are sweet spots in the timeline and more often than not these are pre world shaking events instead of after. As you know me I would radically limit class /race / alignment and allowable combos and would not miss a thing. I even do that on "standard settings" like greyhawk and would I DM in the FR I would certainly also put in limitations for my players. Being willful to introduce limitations is one of the things you have to commit to if you want to convert settings tone over to 5E, imho there is NO way around that. [/QUOTE]
