This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

There is a definite feel of earlier editions of Dungeons & Dragons in the new edition. Are there any plans to perhaps update some of the classic earlier adventures to the fifth edition?  If the decision was entirely yours what classic adventure would you like to see updated first?

Mike Mearls:
We definitely knew that people like having the option to update their favorite adventures. We'll have some guidelines on converting material from prior editions in the fall. In terms of updates we publish, it's a bit too early to talk about that. We know that classic adventures are a big part of what has made D&D great, and we want to embrace that going forward.

My personal preference would be a deluxe update of the Saltmarsh series. It's a fun trilogy that includes a nice variety of challenges and a nifty final dungeon against a band of sahuagin. It might not be an adventure that sits at the top of most gamers' lists, but I've always had a fondness for it.

Can't wait to get through HotDQ with my group, then they'll be the right level for a converted G1!!
