Has anyone picked up any news for some more adventure support for 5e?  Some more module selections would sure be appreciated.

I second this.  I'm the type to get an adventure, tweek it (not twerk) then run it for my needs, so I'm all in favor.

 

Goodman Games has some, but I've yet to check them out.

I could swear this thread just happened... I'm having deja vu.

 

Anyways, WotC seems set on release 2 "full length" campaigns every year, much like the (usually very easy to convert) Pathfinder Adventure Paths deliver two entire campaigns over the course of a year.

 

Goodman Games has released a few, and intends to release more 5th edition compatible adventures, and Frog God Games/Necromancer have released one.

 

Of course, once WotC makes an actual announcement regarding their plans for or against some kind of license situation that better provides opportunity for 3rd party publishers than they currently have with using the 3.5 OGL and careful avoidance of trademarks and intellectual property, we are likely to see more announcements regarding 3rd parties which are or aren't going to produce 5th edition compatible materials.

 

Worst case scenario? Buy any module you want that is compatible with any D&D version, Pathfinder, any retro-clone, or even DCC and do a conversion - it's not typically that difficult, and doesn't have to be time consuming if you are okay with close approximates and patching up discrepencies on the fly.

10-14 is a very hairy section of most versions of D&D and related games... X10: Red Arrow, Black Shield fits the 10-14 level range, but I don't know if it is any good since I've not run it.

 

I liked DA2: Temple of the Frog, and that's in the 10-14 range. I think the other modules in the DA series had the same level range.

EN World is not an official WoTC source and neither book is showing up on Amazon for me. Care to provide a link to a product page there?

I have one module done (Court of the Goblin King lvls 1-4; playtesting in progress) and working on another.

 

Waiting on the promised new OGL so I can revise and be in compliance before releasing to the general public.

I can't seem to find the original source(s) from which EN World got the info. I know they're real but I can't prove it to you.

The supplements have long been scheduled to arrive in mid-March from various sources.

 

I find the idea of an "adventure path" that is one adventure for 15 levels to be really offputting. If you don't like it, it's six months of nothing new. Is this really what the market has gone to?

Does anyone know the schedule for when Tyranny of Dragons is due to wrap up in Neverwinter and/or organized play?  That would at least give us a hint on when the next adventure series should start.

 

Also, I feel that maybe something was changed with either the plot, or at least the titles of the next books, or they would not have vanished the way they have. Personally, I do not get an Elemental vibe from "Princes of the Apocalypse."  That title feels more like a Heaven vs. Hell storyline to me.
