My first problem was that by this time, the 6-adventure Doing so allowed me revisit a great many ideas from my AP had more or less become the standard format. I realized home brew games and how I would develop a game world that with the greater scope and scale of the Lost Lands if it were up to me, along with the near-endless wealth of compared to the relatively small land mass covered in the already existing material through Necromancer Games and Greyhawk sub-continent, I could greatly expand on my the fledgling publications of Frog God. In doing so, I was meteor crater adventure and split it into two adventures: able to put together something of vast size and scope that one for the investigation and journey and one for the could accommodate almost any style of play or campaign exploration of the site itself.

    The Shackled City Adventure Path (5th Edition) Conversion Guide Introduction: Originally published in Dungeon® Magazine, the Shackled City Adventure Path is a series of adventures for 3rd Edition DUNGEONS & DRAGONS®. It was subsequently updated to 3rd Edition (v.3.5), bundled, and sold in hardcover. I picked it up in 2007 and ran the entire campaign for a superb team of players over seven years.

My new 5th Edition group really wanted to give the campaign a try, so I decided to convert the adventure path.

Since the hated struggle against the elemental host in that sto- ried event recalled as the Dawn War, we have seen the divided god wage endless war as it seeks to reconcile its sundered existence. Over the eons, the platinum wrestles with the chromatic, using and discarding us as they will to slake their thirst for vengeance. Our late patron defeated the enemy, and the enemy has defeated our patron. Time and again they fight, but to what end? One triumphs only to fall as the other gains ascendancy. I have peered through time’s mists, apprehended the distant future, and can see no end to this struggle. My despair at the eternal war impels me to beseech your esteemed council, to urge you to let the Platinum Dragon’s death be the last and to help me put an end to this age-old cycle for all time.
