Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

Can our heroes defeat their enormous enemies? This will be a 5E conversion of Against the Giants, a classic adventure module collection. Please be warned that the encounters in this game will not be probably balanced for the current game, instead a straight conversion of the deadlier encounters found in the modules. Creative tactics and out of the box thinking are a must for these challenges. Also, I'll be using the optional hero point rules from the DMG.

I'd like to run a 5E update of the classic module collection Against the Giants. Characters will start at level 10, and so this may not be a good game for those new to D&D. I'm looking for six players. Character creation will be done on D&D Beyond, and I will provide you a campaign link so you have access to all the material I've purchased (which is most of the sourcebooks). PCs can be any race, class, or background from published source material. No homebrew or UA. Depending on how things go I may run more of the adventure modules in this series, so this game may last a couple of years. I expect players to post at least once a day. If you're interested please comment here or PM me.

I'm interested in joining a daily-post pace game. I haven't played the module either so I'm all in for looking into what Gygax came up with in the long-long ago. :)

I would very much like to try to do the Giants. Previous attempts have always died.

Gene I'm sending you an invite and the D&D Beyond link.

I am an experienced player with several decades of experience under my belt (not in 5E, of course) and I would enjoy a romp through this classic module. In the interest of full disclosure, I have run this adventure numerous times, both back in the day and the 5E conversion in Tales from the Yawning Portal, but I am able to easily separate character and player knowledge. I have never experienced them as a player, but if you would prefer I not play, then I will abide by that request. I should be able to make at least one post a day.

Hi WhtKnt. I'd be happy to have you aboard. I'm not using the Yawning Portal version, it's something different. Also I'm going to set the story in the Forgotten Realms setting, so the backdrop will be a little more defined. I'll send you an invite and a link to the D&D Beyond campaign page.

I have room for one more.

I would love to play a high level game

I’ll send you an invite and PM you the D&D Beyond page.

And we’re done. Thanks you all. That was fast.
