We need some more 5th edition modules!  What, are there only two at the moment which were designed strictly with 5th in mind?  Hoard of the Dragon Queen/Rise of Tiamat and Elemental Evil?  I know there are moduels such as The Sundering modules part I, II, etc.... which encompass D&D 3.5, 4th and 5th, but just based on 5th edition rules, that is it thus far?

If I am not mistaken, they are not making additional splat books containing extra classes or races, it is all supposed to be module based?

Wizards should have a module contest, where the fans create and come up with their best module ideas using D&D 5th edition rules.  Then, the top X (3 or so) people should win and get their module published, littering the game with a bit more in the way of modules.

If you don't mind, would you mind listing them?  Third party modules aren't allowed to be listed on the Wizards site?

Anyone use or read the Goodman Games modules?  They seem short at 16 pages, but was hoping to get some first hand opinions.

The old TSR modules aren't too hard to repurpose just remove many of the magic items and halve the gold found. That there will give you years of modules unless you were old enough to have played the originals. I am looking at Castle Amber at the moment.

I don't want rehashed 3rd, 4th etc editions. New content written in the spirit of 5th please.

So the question is, if I write a module for 5th edition, can it get 3rd party published?  What are the legal aspects behind it, for anyone who knows?  Thanks in advance!

Why switch to 5e if there is hardly any new content?      

 

It's like buying a new video game system and not having any games to buy. 

 

 

IMO,  WotC droped the ball on this.   They should have a large number of thrid party developers read to go with new prodocts.   Third party content is key to a platform's success.
