[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 7373206, member: 6775477"] Part of the problem of old BECMI and AD&D adventures used for 5E is that while characters got stronger, monsters got even stronger. In addition, a lot of old adventures, like GoLC, assumed the player had some knowledge about a medieval/fantasy setting. Going in the front door was pretty much suicide, so you needed another option (climbing or the postern gatehouse). Modern gamers often have no clue, especially with "kick in the door and kill everything" as a common playstyle. When I ran GoLC for 5E, I expanded it for an entire group (because solo D&D usually doesn't work well), and changed the levels to be 2-4. Still had 2 PC deaths along the way. For introducing 5E, the basic set adventure, Lost Mines of Phandelver, is top notch. The first section can be a bit rough, but also rewards critical thinking. Just be ready for a total party kill if they decide to fight the dragon... [/QUOTE]
