I've done White Plume Mountain and Castle Ravenloft pretty much on the fly during the playtest. In his AMA on Reddit, in response to a question on converting old adventures to 5e, Mike Mearls responded with "Yes, as long as they are part of the content covered by the Guild. I'd suggest extending the adventure with new content rather than just copying it, because updates to 5e are fairly easy. I think you'd need to add a personal spin to it to get attention."<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/413uu7/dd_ama_with_mike_mearls_and_chris_lindsay_115/cyzk3tv/" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/413uu7/dd_ama_with_mike_mearls_and_chris_lindsay_115/cyzk3tv/</a>Adding a framing device isn't "a personal spin".And they *just* reprinted three of these in the Dungeons of Dread S-Series compilation so it's not like they're hard to find. The rest will be on DMsGuild in Print on Demand shortly, if not PDF. That is if you're not able to find a used copy anywhere (which is unlikely given how often these were reprinted).And we just got effective updates of the Giants adventures. I was pretty critical of Storm King's Thunder initially as I felt it was just a retread, but this is *exactly* what this sounds to be. This just feels like a super, super lazy product.There had better be a TONNE of extra monsters. And hopefully tweaks, surprises, and revisions to the adventures. I expect not just an update but a complete rewrite. We've learned a lot about adventure design since most were written. I know a lot of people wanted smaller adventures. Despite being able to strip out dungeons in Princes of the Apocalypse and Storm King's Thunder effortlessly. And despite the numerous small Adventurer's League adventures now on the DMsGuild. And despite the myriad past adventures that are easily updated. Now, I'm not against that per se. But I'd rather that be NEW small adventures that are linked together. Where people can have those small adventure and I can have my story. Seven giant dungeon crawls lack that story.</blockquote>
