Level Up (A5E) So where do ya'll plan to start with LU?

[cole1312]

I've got a list of plans for stuff I want to DM using A5E:

1) A two-player game adapted from the old fantasy comic Adventurers to test the system and play with my friends

2) Odyssey of the Dragonlords, a very good third party adventure that I think will pair excellently with A5E

3) Gears of Revolution when it comes out for A5E (I got it as an add-on as well)

4) A mega-adventure adapting both storm king's thunder and tyranny of dragons into one single plotline, since both kinda suck on their own but pair really well together.

2 and 3 are also in my plans, as well as Crown of the Oathbreaker (which isn't ready yet), Brancalonia, and maybe restart War of the Burning Sky.

As for a5e books, my plan is to read them all religiously in order (phb, dmg and mm)

It'll likely be a while before I get a chance to play it.

My current face-to-face group seems to be developing a somewhat negative opinion of 5E overall.

By the time we come back around to 5E in a year+, maybe?

Until then, I might try a game online just to get a feel for the changes.

I think I'll be thoroughly digging into the class reworkings first, probably starting with Ranger and Fighter. The exploration/travel stuff will be next.

It will be interesting to see how much I can get our current DM to adopt.

I've been toying with new campaign ideas for a year or so, and if I had to guess right now I'd say I will use LU in something that smooshes together Mythic Odysseys of Theros, Glen Cooke's The Black Company, and some significant Feywild and Shadowfell elements.

The timing is working out where I'm going to be having a Session 0 for Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frost Maiden at the end of the month.
Planning on converting this adventure to A5E and letting the players choose if they want to use O5E or A5E characters.

Oh, and Kingmaker when it gets its 5E release next year.

 

[Steampunkette]

Directly to Journey.

Then Renown and Strongholds.

Then Character Generation.

Then back to work on SotSA and Blood of Ages.

I've got permission from the GM of my Saturday group to update my PC to Level Up, so I'll get to play my half-elf Bard/Herald right out of the gates!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Like some have said, I will be running the monsters and journey rules in any game that I run. Beyond that, I'll have to see. I will do my best to introduce Supply first. Then I will see what of my players are starting to get interested, then maybe get one of them to play a LU character, and get the others to be jealous!

Dragons, the answer is always dragons. I just wish they had included Avatars of Tiamat and Bahamut too!
