5e Interest in Running some Classic 1e Modules!


Recruitment

Grand Lodge

Even though I know thier are conversions of these Modules I am converting some hackmaster versions of these classics Little Keep on the Borderlands, Quasqueton, Temple of Elemental Evil and Maybe Scourge of the Slavers or Against the Gaints into maybe Curse of the Spider Queen should we get that far as I know some are a slog. Or you may need to retire before hand.

Would start at 1st level at the Keep.and work our way through the adventures. Itll have tongue in cheek humor, old school stakes and feel and some interesting god choices!


Yup, yup and double yup!


Absolutely interested.


Interested.

I know I would limit races to the Core Book,

Using a more Gritter play style reminescent of 1e

Probably have roll 3d6 keep what you roll.

Things like this

So, really Old School feel? Awesome.

Grand Lodge

Yeah 1 short rest per day, Long rests require 8 uninteruppted hours of rest

Even gonna make Orcs more Pig like

Looking into Critical Hit based Flaws and possible Leathality

Arranging stats as each player wants, or rolled in order?

Grand Lodge

Im cool with arranging

Might give everyone a starting feat. Balance the suck


Very interested! Bit of a 5e noob, but been looking exactly for this kind (grittier 5e) of game, so it sounds perfect.


Interested


How soon are you thinking to put out an actual recruitment for this?

Probably by the weekend. Once I work out a few different ideas on rules


I feel this needs an elf rogue or really, the halfling rogue. OR thief.

If its based on anything Hackmaster, pretty sure that the group will need a little bit of everything.

Looking forward to rolling up stats in any case, just to see the possibilities for character submissions. :D

Yes Hackmaster is a slog to get to 5th level

Liberty's Edge

Very inexperienced with 5e... what's Hackmaster?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HackMaster

Hackmaster is 1e/2e rules set that is a hard mode parody of DnD made around the time of 3rd edition DnD.


Hackmaster has one of the coolest Initiative systems I've seen. Requires some heavy bookkeeping unfortunately.

Grand Lodge

True but I do love it. If it played better online I would run it.

I am also thinking about Quirks and Flaws to grant A extra feat or one of the unique boons and possible bonuses to your stats.

As well as using honor.

So we could have fun characters.

Working on notes for the campaign start, but I do believe I am gonna have you all come to Frandor's keep for a Wedding.


Seriously looking forward to this.
Applying, at the very least. :D

Thank you!


**Peeks in, looking for Recruitment thread*** Nope, not yet.


I've never played Hackmaster, but I've read about tons of adventures set there in the Knights of the Dinner Table comics.

Would love to be a part of this.

Should post some guidelines tomorrow.

With some slight alterations of Temple, Slaverd and a few others thrown in

My adventure so far
