[QUOTE="Cyphertest, post: 6458855, member: 91665"] I'm actually planning on running the same series using 5th edition this Spring. Rather than convert the old DL series, I'm converting the 3.5 updates that were published by Weis productions in the early 2000's. The three new hardcover campaign books were titles, Dragons of Autumn, Dragons of Winter, and Dragons of Spring respectively. All three used material from the previous versions of the DL series, including additions made to the Silver Anniversary Edition published in the late 90s. The newer editions also include material culled from the newer Chronicles book, Dragons of the Dwarven Depths. Needless to say, they're pretty comprehensive. THe players will be taking on the roles of the classic Inn-Fellows/Heroes of the Lance, with me running a couple of them as NPCs (Riverwind, & Tika). 2/3rds of my players are familar with the setting, having read the original trilogy back in the 90s, but it's been so long that the details are fuzzy for them. I'm planning on tweaking a few encounters and locations to throw them off a bit in case they do remember too much from the books. In addition I'm creating some pretty thorough encounter tables for when they wander off the "adventure path", to make the world seem more alive and open..sandboxy, if you will. [/QUOTE]
