[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7875020, member: 6716779"] Sometimes I am in a hurry to knock out an adventure but I only have an hour or two spare. This is a very rough example of how I more or less wing stuff. First I'll find a map I like. In this case here. From the Mummy's Mask AP Pathfinder. If you have played Kingmaker you understand the basic idea of this map. I'll print a blank map for the PCs. IN my head and notes I have the mnetaplot, I can use existing fluff to describe the locations along with the maps of key locations. Then I will go though and list the locations under the original name and restock them with 5E equivalents[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20191217_122626.jpg"]116838[/ATTACH] For example each location on the map is translated into 5E in abbreviated form. Group is 6 6th level PCs hence some stinker encounters. The adult blue Dragons are not really there to be fought as such but the PCs can take sides and help defeat one I suppose.
