  • The Shackled City Adventure Path (5Th Edition)
    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. When everything was said-and-done, the consensus was that no campaign in our combined 100+ year D&D gaming careers came close to the detail, intrigue, and immersion offered by this adventure path. My new 5th Edition group really wanted to give the campaign a try, so I decided to convert the adventure path.
