Two of those adventures have already received a 5e port by Goodman Games as part of their ‘Original Adventures Reincarnated’ series: The Lost City and Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.
Probably better, too
@@ad9aggieI have both of them, and they’re incredible. I’m running The Lost City right now, and the book just has _so much stuff._ And Goodman Games expanded on the original adventure, filling in gaps and inventing a ton of new stuff that’s weird and evocative.
I think I may enjoy a later comparison of their respective 5e versions.
@@SmileyTrilobite Me too, in principle, except that after all the chaos surrounding the OGL, and the fact that "One1D&D / 5.5e / 6e / AIe / whatever" just... doesn't look appealing to me, I've basically declined to obtain new books and such by WotC, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon.
They're faithful conversions too. I own temple of elemental evil, I was extremely impressed by it when I first got it
My DM has played dnd since before AD&D and just last year ran the barrier peaks for us using our 5e characters. I would have never imagined that it would get made for 5e less than a year later.
In 2019, Goodman Games published a mega-sized Expedition to Barrier Peaks including the original module and their update of the adventure for 5E. They have also done The Lost City, Keep on the Borderlands, Isle of Dread, The Temple of Elemental Evil, and Castle Amber in the same old/update format. These Goodman Books will be superior, though more expensive, than Tales of the Infinite Staircase in my opinion (like your DM I started in 1980 with AD&D 1st Edition)
@@dandepalma9305 those Adventures are great, I've run a few of them, and they've been super fun! I really hope WotC doesn't screw it up.
This book has very surprisingly gotten me excited for a dnd book for the first time in awhile! I hope it's good!
So basically WotCs version of Robin Williams Genie? Love it and then feel so sad that he is gone from this world
tfw I buy the book and it's the Will Smith genie
I love the illustration of Drelzna, its perfect. Kudus for revisiting these two great 1E Greyhawk modules (Barrier Peaks and Tsojcanth) that I enjoyed back in the day.
I'm so stoked for this! Already incorporated the Infinite Staircase into my Forgotten Realms game just based on wiki info. Super interested to see it get official 5e support; really hope the book contains a solid foundation for DMs to build more on the Staircase beyond the included adventures.
I've been wanting to do an infinite staircase in d&d for a while. Of course such a concept appears in The Wheel of Time books, and in Lords of Gossamer and Shadow, but also al Monte Cook 2e d&d book.
I wouldn't buy it solely for that reason, seeing how small of a part "the Yawning Portal" played in Tales from the Yawning Portal
@@jakibob understood. Fair point. I meant to say it's rewarding to see the concept re-appear across different mediums and brands
I liked adventure modules as a newer player and dm, as a baseline for a homebrew campaign.
Now I like a few of them not really for the adventures but for maps, subclasses, races, subraces, backgrounds, spells, feats, magic items, monsters, and possibly interesting mechanics
The T and J are silent in Tsjocanth. Check out Eastern European languages and Iggwilv is based on Eastern Euopean hag myths. Proper pronunciation is "so-canth"
I love the anthology books. I grab them all.
I love that it is the classic dnd modules remade!
Bring out the dragonlance pilot
Tales from the Infinite Staircase is maybe my favorite 2e module. I've run it at least half a dozen times.
I was looking up the old version of this last month! I'm stoked for this!
Any hope of old Eberron adventures getting brought to 5e though? Can I still hope?
Pharaoh is going to be in this book?!
Now I hope they cover the rest of the Desert Of Desolation trilogy.
WoTC already did a 5E conversion of Barrier Peaks, trimmed down significantly of course, when the did The Lost Laboratory of Kwalish for ExtraLife.
That wasn't Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. It was IN the Barrier Peaks, but was not the Barrier Peaks spaceship at all.
@@dereklong801 Fair.
11:55- 'cultural knitting'
well there is the word salad of the day
I think I saw a picture of Zargon the Returner in the video?😁
Very excited for this
Hell yeah, Zargon!!
One of the best modules from 2E. I torn on this because this will translate to 5E very well, but it seems like DnD is given us the Disney treatment in that they are set on just revamping modules and adventures.
So any idea of DND Space Hulk with Barrier Peaks?
Not sure how Terminator armor would work other than Artificers or magic heavy armor?
Jinni is a spirit in Arabic mythology that inhabits the earth and is unseen by humans. It can assume various forms and has extraordinary powers. The belief in jinn was common in pre-Islamic Arabia, where they were thought to inspire poets and soothsayers. Additionally, it appears that the Jinni has been combined with the Sandman from Neil Gaiman's work,
Nafas sounds like a real bro! Imagine hearing the wishes of crying children all over the multiverse and seeking out adventurers to deal with each problem
The lost city is definitely a take on one of the Conan stories
Having played all of these as a youth in "Ye Olden Days", I'm curious what things have been added. ...as well as what they have removed >.>
The sapphic art from the Crystal Cave adventure is so beautiful, I might just get this for the art.
LITERALLY touching her petals.
Since you're bringing back classic modules back to 5e, this is the perfect opportunity to take a good look at Temple of Elemental Evil.
Been done already - check out Goodman Games' Original Adventures Reincarnated #6 - The Temple of Elemental Evil
B4 Lost City - the return of Mystara? It is set in Ylarum in the original module.
I’m guessing they’ll retcon it into Anauroch or something, since *everything* gets shoe-horned into the Realms these days, by hook or by crook.
Omg yes finally an archfey statblock
The thing is... Did he meant a statblock for a creature that happens to be an archfey, or a statblock that can be used to represent archfey (the same way we have statblocks for mages, archmages, archdruids, priests, etc)
No mention of the Lillendi? They used to hang out on the staircase.
While its great you finally did something in Mystara, It's a bit odd that you're redoing 2 modules that you've already had goodman games convert to fifth edition instead of other modules
Do you think it will still be set in Mystara or borged to the realms? The reference to the multiverse has me hopeful...
@@stephenradlett1418 It's a best of book like Saltmarsh, just using the Staircase as a framing device. I seriously doubt they will even mention Mystara in Lost City despite the module being set there implicitly.
Give us a book on crafting magic items and rules of rare materials like Ironwood I am many more options or a book about magic items
Great narrator! (left presenter)
Am I the only one who feels like this isn't all I need to know? Like for Pharoh was did you add to it? And what are about the other two parts of Desert of Desolation?
👍🏻
"Why these adventures?"
"We wanted to pick these wonderful adventures!"
Oh... kay....
They didnt show much of the content. A few shots of the maps might attract me to buy it.
Please bring it out in German!!! Please!
Wow, Wish they could start making some good new adventures. Instead of just reprinting old ones.
They are...before this book's release would be the module Vecna: Eve of Ruin. Also Keys to the Golden Vault is good
I remember these. It was interesting to play but really messed up the game for those characters. Became a western with guns instead of sword and sorcery. Our group built up characters and then it didn't matter which of us DM'd it was not the same.
The western-style gunfighting aspect was already in the 1e DMG (1979) as part of TSRs "Boot Hill" conversion rules. They had rules for "Gamma World" conversion in there too which gave you the sci-fi aspects, if you wanted them.
I knew immediately this guy was Persian because of his farvahar
this guy with his chocolate and peanut butter
What was that cyclops with the unicorn horn
Froghemoth!
@@dereklong801Froghemoth? Shouldn't it look more like a frog?
Pause it at 2:53 and you'll see the critter I'm talking about
Why those 6? It seems like there were other extra-planar adventures you could have chosen.
Because they're ones that haven't a hope of getting a reprint otherwise.
Where is the next Dragonlance Book?!?
LOVE the updates of the classic adventure modules ... but then will we need to update again after 2025 with the new rules?
The book should've been titled "The Wizards who stepped on the toes of a Goodman"
…so fungalore… 15:03
I've had a good time with the adventure anthologies so far but the art direction seems to be reliably going downhall - not just in quality but a convergence of style, everything looking samey and overly (diegetically) clean
I'd like some more traditional art back. The digital art in some places looks flat. Great, but flat.
All classic adventures. Unfortunately we have played / read all of them many years ago.
Many new players haven't though. Getting hard copies of these are very difficult so Getting updated versions are wonderful for the newer players.
As a player whom began DnD in 5e since Princes of the Apocalypse, I agree cuz I never heard of these adventures and having them published in 5e is a welcome thing for me and so far I like he's anthology modules
@@finnmchugh99 Go play the original adventures in their original edition.
7:21 Where's Drelzna's katana, she was a samurai, don't tell me the sensitivity readers got to her too.
Eh? The original version of her used a bastard sword. If she was changed to a Samurai it was in some other version. She was presented as a typical "black knight" originally.
Go look at her original artwork, she had a katana and wore golden armor, she's explicitly called a samurai in 3rd edition.@@CelestianGC
Wait, nevermind, the sword was called a wakizashi, I just reread up on her, but still, it wasn't a western sword and she's a samurai.
What module are you talking about? The AD&D/original version of the adventure it was a bastard sword.
@@CelestianGC This. Since I used the original (published) adventure as the basis when I worked on the update for Quests.
More remakes of older adventures but made very lame and tame. Hard pas.
I am curious to see how bad they alter these classics into WOTC horseshit. Not spending any cash on it, but I might download a pdf when it someone gets around to dropping one.
OF COURSE the one romantic couple is… you know, in Current Year.
"OF COURSE!"
-M. Bison
If it is just old modules, I probably don't need this. I translate modules from edition to edition (or system to system) just fine. New content, please.
No player content yet again
I think the plan is for more player content in the September release, the Player's Handbook. It'll include races, classes, and spells for players. And then the November release of the Dungeon Master's Guide is going to have magic items I think.
What’s the point of player content now is there’s a new edition around the corner
It's an anthology book. OFC there's not going to be player content beyond magic items.
Brain dead take.
135 official subclass even before the recent homebrew drops. 106 feats. 73 races. How much player content can you want?
