D&D 5E Nights Dark Terror (B10) 5E

Zardnaar · May 28, 2020

I have had this PDF for a while now and am thinking of running it in 5E.

Modern players are not familiar with Mystara and I might adapt it by running it as is and replacing the immortals with the Faerunian pantheon.

Has anyone tried this in 5E?

I ran it in 5e twice, but kept everything Mystara.

I have not run it recently, but my recollection of it leads me to believe it would be easy to adapt to any 'border' area in almost any setting. Updating to 5E would not be a problem, either.

One of my favorite adventures of all time! Still have an unpunched hardcopy!

Yep, it translates well to 5e. Having a conversion document saved some time converting unique monsters, but I don't think it's necessary. You may want to tweek the unique monsters to your own taste, especially the lair actions for Kortoeba iirc.

It can be plopped into most settings without much fuss

Done it for 5e, converting on the fly. Great module.

That's worth some $$$

It's almost a mini-setting on its own, so to begin with it probably doesn't matter much which greater setting you plop it into.

@pemerton is a big fan of this module, I seem to recall he converted and ran it in 4e, so maybe he'll have some tips and pointers for you.
