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!!
