[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 8450076, member: 6788732"] Since Auckland went into lockdown, our standard game has been on hiatus and ove been running some old modules from the old BECMI Thunder Rift setting. All I've been doing is subbing in 5e versions of the monsters in the adventures and it's been great, and sometimes totally bonkers! The very first adventure, Knight of Newts, could have seen them up against a water elemental, suicide in any edition. Although I've toned down the power of some items (+1 weapons were just magical, +2 weapons were a 5e +1 weapon, I've otherwise not cut back the treasure, even creating unique items in DnDbeyond like a mace that also deals lightning damage in a way similar to a flame tongue (they got this at level 2). We finished the last adventure and, the PCs hit level 4, and they have a heap of magical items and thousands of gold each. I opened up the stores so that they could by some common magical items. These adventures are a lot of fun as they focus more on going into the dungeon and killing the bad guys more than much in the way of role-playing. Since these are throw away characters, they've had fun with them. One player rolled a 5 and created a loxodon rogue, we're pretty sure his stealth works because no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room. The others are playing a playing a verdan warlock, known as Stupid Sexy Flanders; a dwaaarf (not a spelling mistake, that's how this character pronounces dwarf) cleric who is a not so smart parish priest with Dougal from father Ted as their avatar; Wee Jock Jock, a fighter whose race is my homebrew pixie race that he has modelled of Terry Pratchett's wee free men; and Bob, an ordinary human ranger. We've been playing on roll20 which I had to learn to use but which has also ended up working out fairly well and then we just connect via zoom, have a few drinks, and have a bit of fun. Great times. Next session we'll be taking a DnD break and playing in my friends 5e based Sci Fi game which everyone is keen on. I'll be playing as Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank. [/QUOTE]
