D&D 5E Banewarrens 5e is here!

[This Effin’ GM]

Monte Cook Publishing has updated the classic adventure, The Banewarrens, for 5e!

This adventure takes you into the depths of Ptolus, debatably the most detailed city setting in existance, and let’s you and your players discover some of the settings secrets while navigating through terrifying traps and unique monsters/villains.

The set up of the adventure is fantastic, being presented not only as an awesome dungeon crawl but also giving various scenarios as to how to use the material in conjunction with a overall story plot.

You can find the update at the link below.

Sweet - this is a great adventure that I never got to run in 3.5E...

Me neither! But I’m gonna shoehorn it in somehow to my current game

The Banewarrens 5e PDF is on drivethrurpg as well.

About twice the price of the 3rd edition version, but also increases from 136 pages to 180.

Tempting for sure.....anyone have this for 5e and want to comment on it? (I am 90% sure I have the old version in PDF on a backup someplace.....).

Caved and bought it.....not many new monster statblocks (like, 4?), but plenty of other interesting 5e things. I'll post more after I get a good look at it. First impression? If you have the old version, you might not need this one.....

It looks like an awful lot of the 5e rules content is in the Ptolus 5e book (magic items, people, likely creatures?)....so, ya, not thrilled I bought this.....

Well dang sorry dude. I don’t own a copy of the original myself so this was a must have for me

 

[Zaukrie]

Not a huge loss....If the 5e rules referenced in Ptolus (I have the old version, I couldn't justify buying the new one) were in there, it would be worth buying for sure (if you like this kind of adventure). (See added last sentence)

No new art in the art appendix.....

Comparing the two, I have no idea why anyone that has the original should buy this.....

 

[This Effin’ GM]

Yeah that makes sense!

For those who have it, do you need Ptolus to really make use of this? How much setting info is included?
