Hi all,

   I'm working on getting a game up and running, and am looking for a good starting level prewritten\published adventure for 5e.  I'm currently a player in Hoard of the Dragon Queen as well as the Starter Box game, and don't really wanna run those games as well, as I don't wanna ruin those games story sttuff for myself.  

   So I'm looking for alternatives.  I've heard the New Elemental evil adventure is good but a bit daugnting for a new DM like myself, so I don't really wanna mess with it.  So what do you all have for suggestions?  I was hopeing to find a sunless ciitadel converstion, that was complete but haven't had much luck.  I'm open to ideas.  Thanks all!

I ran Sunless Citadel back in an early 5th edition playtest, so I only have a conversion to that version of the game. If you'd like, I could help you convert it all the way to the real version.

Check out the Wizards PDF store, there are lot's of adventures to start at 1st level that were originally created for the playtest or conventions.  I'm currently running a group through the Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle...alternately, you could run Dreams of the Red Wizards, since the story lines are aligned...both of these will take characters from 1st to 10th level.

Sunless Citadel, once converted to 5e, sounds like a good choice.

 

Goodman Games has a couple of nice, slim starting level adventures:

PotA shouldn't be all that daunting, it has a 'intro' section for low level play. (But make sure everyone realizes that in a 'sandbox' you can run into very powerful monsters....running away is okay.)

 

But I think the best solution may be to run LMoP from the starter set.  If you don't want to 'ruin' it for yourself, just don't read the whole thing at once.  Just read the beginning parts.

How do you feel about using Sewer Plauge rather than the filth feaver that is presented in the notes, maybe with the DC 13 that filth fever has rather than the 11 of  Sewer Plauge.

I would suggest Under Illefarn

http://www.dndclassics.com/product/16801/N5-Under-Illefarn-1e?it=1   

I think it is the best product for D&D for new players and especially for new DMs.

How hard would it be to convert Under Illefarn to 5e?
