[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 8258969, member: 463"] Something like Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits still works in 5e. You could run that with Epic Tier 17-20 PCs ok. I don't think Throne of Bloodstone would work too well in 5e though; it'd need tuning down. Maybe with a level 20 party and a ton of Epic Boons. Owning the 5e versions of G2 and G3 both in TFTYP and on Roll20, I do wonder how they're supposed to work in 5e. It does feel like the enemies aren't supposed to coordinate at all, and/or the PCs are super stealth ninjas, but then I wonder what they're supposed to be doing. Gygax I think expected the PCs to pretty much 'clear the dungeon' , which in other editions would be feasible for sufficiently high level PCs. If the 5e GM is supposed to have the giants lack all coordination and just sit in their rooms, that's not good.
