So let me tell you a little bit about the plan.<br/><br/>I'm wanting to convert - and then run - old-school adventures in 5E. Since converting all that takes time (and<em>not</em>converting it likely leads to dead parties, I'm looking at you<em>Against the Giants</em>) I'm going to start off with an already-published adventure I recently got my hands on. You will be starting in a small hamlet by the name of Oakhurst, population 900, mostly human with a notable halfling minority. How did you get there? Well, Oakhurst lies on a trade route to the north, and maybe you are accompanying a caravan. Maybe you're just a native of Oakhurst. Maybe all of you have a better idea!<br/><br/>I'd<em>like</em>for at least some of your characters to be conversant with each other. Maybe not the bestest of friends (though that's cool too!) but having known each other for at least a little while and developed some sort of repartee. Six strangers just falling into a little town and going on an Adventure™ stretches credulity, even for a game that is as fond of cliches and cornball tropes as this one  ;D<br/><br/>I'd also love to see a little worldbuilding; where is your character from? Who are some important people they know, if any? Are there any monsters or dungeons or mysterious artifacts they've heard of? What gods do they worship? Do they have enemies, are they part of some organization? Really, kind of a blank slate going here, though fair warning; what you come up with might very well end up used in future iterations of the setting.<br/><br/>And while I'm asking all this stuff of you - are there any particular themes you'd like to see? Encounters? Have you always wanted to deal with a Red Dragon, or have a spellbook named after your character? Do you just really want to rescue the beautiful prince from the wicked tribe of gnoll amazons?<br/><br/><strong>LINKS</strong><br/>Character thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266718.0<br/>(IC) Chapter 01 - Into Oakhurst: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266887.0
