Got back into my Into the Nentir Vale which I am setting in the Forgotten Realms.
I am doing the second part of H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth, The Well of Demons. Throughout the course of today's adventure, the characters discover that more gods than they knew have been killed. They are are a little disturbed.
Now I am really messing around with the Faerûn gods and history here, so bear with me. They learned today that Bhaal the God of Murder is dead and likely killed by Baphomet. They already knew that Mykrul was dead, but unknown who did it. They will soon learn that Moander was killed by Zuggtmoy in her attempt to open the Temple of Elemental Evil. Other gods that are dead are Azuth, Amaunater, Bane, and Leira. There might be more. Shit is getting serious in the Realms.
This campaign is my attempt to revive my abandoned 4e game. My attempt to make some use of all my 4e books.
It's actually been a lot of fun. I even worked out a quick method of converting any 4e stat to 5e. Typically any 4e number (level, HD, hp) can become a 5e number by multiplied by 2/3rds. It's worked out to be pretty close to what I see in 5e.
I am keeping track of experience points, but I use the 5e Milestone advancement for this. Each of the published 4e adventures (HPE, 9 in total) the characters level up one level halfway through and then one level again at the end of the adventure. So 18 levels all together. I am doing this to keep the levels from going crazy. I can hear people now complaining that characters need to earn their levels, but trust me they are getting far more experience points.
Really it has been a blast and I can't wait to do some more.
