I rarely use published adventures, and when I do it is even rarer for me to run them anywhere close to “as written”, because players. I have however read quite a few in my time: In Search of the Unknown, that one adventure with the crashed space ship, Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, every single goddamn adventure from […]
I have run Keep on the Shadowfell numerous times. The first time was before 4th Edition “officially” came out, and it was such a horrible experience that subsequent runs essentially only retained the idea that there was a ruined castle somewhere around Winterhaven, and that a death cult was going to open a portal underneath it. […]
I have updated my Keep on the Shadowfell conversion for use with D&D Next for the third time. Most of the changes involve adjusting custom monster stats, and removing custom monsters because they have been “officially” added to the Bestiary document. I would also like to take this time to mention that I am working on Thunderspire Labyrinth (almost halfway […]
In light of the most recent playtest packet, I have updated the adventure file with the new XP values and stat blocks of the monsters (as well as the magic items).
After a few weeks, Victor and I were able to finish converting H1: Keep on the Shadowfell. If you read my notes on it when I redid it for 4th Edition, this one goes into more depth with actual maps, new monsters, and a couple of magic items. Let me know what you think, as well […]
Aaand here is the last map that Victor and I made for Keep on the Shadowfell.
Here is the rough of the Shadowfell Keep Catacombs: If you played the original Keep on the Shadowfell, you probably remember the maps of the levels underneath Shadowfell Keep: apparently everyone lived in giant square rooms, underground, without furnishings, linked by 10-foot wide hallways about 50 or so feet apart. I also do not recall […]
Here is the polished version of the map, courtesy of Victor (aka, The Planewalker). Awesome.
Here is the map of Shadowfell Keep I drew up for part two of my D&D Next conversion. I like the idea of the characters being able to explore the keep in some detail before going dungeon crawling. As with my 4th Edition update I kept Sir Keegan is in the chapel, which is hallowed […]
Here is part one of my D&D Next conversion of Keep on the Shadowfell. It goes all the way up to the kobold lair, which has a new map to go with an expanded plot. The second part will wrap things up in Shadowfell Keep, and after that it is off to Thunderspire Labyrinth (and, […]
