D&D (2024) Adopting 2024's 5e - What's the First Adventure You Want to Play?

[Scott Christian]

Just curious, for all the DMs and players out there adopting the new system, what is the first adventure you want to run or play? It could be a retrofit since it is supposed to be backwards compatible. It could be homebrew. It could be something you hope they publish. It could be something you plan on converting from an older edition.

I'll start. While cliche, I really want to see how the new stuff handles Vecna. I think, as a player, that sounds like a fun campaign.

Probably Strad, since I never got a chance to finish it.

You gonna get the new Vecna book? It's already out at FLGSs!

I'm probably going to run it when the new core books arrive. We have a campaign to finish first - I hope we'll get it done in time. I mean, obviously it can wait for us, but I don't want to wait too long after the new books are out to start using them!

My Phandbox. So, a mashup of LMoP and Dragon of Icespire Peak. Might continue on to the Shattered Obelisk and/or the Icespire Peak sequels, but not sure about that, as they would definitely require more work to fix in my opinion. I might instead try taking Matt Coleville’s advice and just doing short, disconnected adventures for as long as it holds my players’ interests.

Either Strahd plus the Vecna one. Or Age of Worms. I have always wanted to play AoW but not sure whether I’ll crash and burn on converting it.

I am absolutely going to pick it up. We are starting a new campaign and before I grab it, I want to make sure our DM isn't going to use part of it. If he is, I will wait, because once I get it, I am going to read it. (Side Note: Our DM does not want to convert to the new rules. He would like to wait until there is more material for it.) If I get, I may start a separate group just to run it. I really, really want to run something that just uses the core three books and an adventure path.

 

[UngainlyTitan]

Not sure, I am going to run Vecna with existing characters so that will depend on the players. If any want to upgrade to the new system I would be open to that.
I would like to run Lost Mines of Phandelver. I never got to complete it. I started during the original playtest but never got back to it.

 

[Hussar]

Huh. While I have every intention of getting the new books, I hadn't actually given much thought to what to run with it.

My current Phandelver/Shattered Obelisk campaign is probably going to be wrapped up just about the time the PHB comes out, so, hrmmm. I might do some easy one shots for a bit to see what the first big campaign in a box book is.

Although, to be honest, I've always wanted to run Out of the Abyss. I might just pick it up and take it for a spin.

 

[MonsterEnvy]

Will probably shift my current Phandelver campaign into the new rules and then run Vecna Eve of Ruin with it once we finish Phandelver.

Abyss has always interested me as a player. Not as a DM, but as a player, it seems cool.
