I've just released a 5e D&D conversion of the various monsters, magic items, and creature encounters for the classic adventure S4: The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. The original module is required to use this conversion guide. This guide includes stat blocks for more than 15 new monsters in addition to new magic items and artifacts. Here's a link to the conversion guide on DMs Guild. Fourteen maps have been prepared at 70 DPI of key locations. Grid and no grid (or hex) variants of most maps are included. Maps provided include: Tsojcanth Wilderness Tsojcanth Lesser Caverns 5600 by 7070 Tsojcanth Greater Caverns 5320 by 6860 Gnome Lair 4970 by 6090 Labyrinth 3640 by 3990 Armored Automaton Room 840 by 840 Hall of Pentacles 1120 by 1120 Mountain Nest 2100 by 2100 Mountains with River and Cave 3500 by 3500 Mountain Trail Ogre Den 2240 by 2240 Mountain Valley 1920 by 1080 Mountain Valley 2840 by 2840 Version A Mountain Valley 2840 by 2840 Version B Mountainside Trail 1920 by 1080
I'm in the same boat, friend. Work has been pounding my spirit into the dirt lately, and dialog/writing isn't exactly sailing along.
ReplyDeleteI thought summer was supposed to be fun! ><
I tested the little bit of dialog I had written last night and it worked better than I had hoped. It's still going to be a crazy, hectic and slow summer.

ReplyDeleteOh man, I feel your pain on the dialogue thing. That is exactly where I am at, and it is a painful process.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and it seems like no matter what you write it gets knocked for 'having a few typos'. It's also very hard to have the options in that people will like. The advantage of PnP games is you can say and react to anything. I suppose you get that in a DM led session too.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading a interview with the famous elektronik group Kraftwerk long ago. It was about how they work with their music and why the time between the album releases was so long. Since then I always worked with it in my mind, professional, in my band, with the module and everything else. The meaning of it was (very freely):
ReplyDelete- Ralf, everybody loves our music, we must hurry up!
- Don't bother about that, we have work to do. We focus on that.
- Ralf, they say that our music is out of date and that we don't exist anymore!
- Don't bother about that, we have work to do. We focus on that.
- Ralf, is so nice that we are done with this album after all these years. No we can relax and sit back a while.
- Don't bother , we have work to do with our next album. We focus on that.
I know what you mean about work messing with life. It have been some hell weeks and my summer vacation is at risk.
Keep up the spirit, it will be a great module when released and the audience will have patience.
Thanks. I'm planning on a bit of work today but I am slowing down a bit from my earlier pace. I appreciate the story and encouragement.
