[QUOTE="Kilgore Trout, post: 6885266, member: 6819364"] Hi - I am looking to DM a 5e game...working on getting a group together at the moment. Some background: have been playing PF and 5e for the last year as a player only. Returned to TTRPGs after a 25 year hiatus...in the 80s, I plaved 1e, 2e, and Call of Cthulhu and was primarily a DM. So looking forward to getting back to that. I'd say the players will all be beginners or slightly experienced. Wouldn't say I have a ton of time to spend crafting a world, so I am looking for suggestions on published adventures. Which I could tweak as I grew more comfortable. I'd like to create a campaign with an over-arching story as opposed to a series of one-shots. Would love to see characters go from 1-20 but I hear that hardly ever happens so not holding my breath. I know WotC has Lost Mines of Phandelver and some hardback books out there - are those any good? Maybe start with Lost Mines and then go into Rise of Tiamat or the Underdark adventures? Anything good out there from 3rd party publishers? Not particular on the setting, i.e. it doesn't have to be Forgotten Realms. Ran across the Primevial Thule book for 5e and that looked fun, although online reviews aren't the greatest. Thought about converting Rise of the Runelords as I've heard great things about that (as well as a lot of the PF Adventure Paths), and I know there's some stuff online that's already been done in terms of conversion, but not sure I have the savvy to do the conversion myself. Anywho, really just looking for suggestions or experiences of other DMs who have started for a new group of gamers or input in the above. Appreciate the time! KT [/QUOTE]
