[QUOTE="kronovan, post: 9643886, member: 6775134"] Nope, I wasn't referring to the Devlebound community adapatation of the Elder Scrolls. I was referring to the Elsweyr adventure that Bethesda Netherlands published for 5e and then pulled due to accusations of plagerism. It was claimed with good evidence, that it was a reskinning of Page Letiman's The Black Road adventure, which IIRC was written for an ealier edition of D&D.
