Dragonlances of Faerûn: DL1 Dragons of Despair
Hail and well met fellow adventurers. I have recently converted the original DL1: Dragons of Despair (1e) into a guide to playing it in 5th Edition. Also, my conversion is a full immersion into the Forgotten Realms world of Faerûn. This product has been approved by the DMsGuild and is now for sale. I implore you all to check it out. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears was put into this. You can find it here:

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/249...ons-of-Despair

Here is the product description:

Two amazing products at one low price!

Five years ago, you and your companions separated to search for lost clerical magic without any luck. Now you all have returned to Esmeltaran where you meet a strange nomadic couple, wielding a powerful staff. Rumors have spread that the staff has the capability to save the lands and restore clerical magic. All the while, Draconians begin to ravage the lands while they search for this Blue Crystal Staff. Can our heroes restore the lost clerical powers and save their land?

Dragonlances in Faerûn: DL1 Dragons of Despair is a complete overhaul of the original 1st edition module. This conversion turns the original module into 5th Edition and into the Forgotten Realms world of Faerûn.

Thank you so much! There is seriously so much to check out inside the FG module. It’s crazy. Once you look it over, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts! I’m already working on DL2 now as well so feedback (bad or good) right now is good. Thanks again!

I really like Dragonlance and by chance have all localized modules in print from the early days. Your conversion to 5E allows me to just edit the localization and not to worry about creating a FG module. Thank you very much, and please continue your work.

There is! I recently ran the campaign on Twitch and put it on YouTube. I’m currently running DL2 now. The campaigns I run on Twitch and put on YouTube use the modules i sell on the DMsGuild, but I converted it back to the world of Krynn to show that’s it’s easily possible. Here’s a link to my first session:

I also have DL2 and 3 on the DMsGuild now. Currently working on DL4. The maps for DL4 are a doozy!

Thanks for asking! Also, I saw your petition to bring DL to 5E. I signed and posted about it on social media in order to do my part. If DL comes to 5E, I’m converting all my modules on the DMsGuild back to Krynn. Just trying to keep Dragonlance alive!

Sorry I didn’t respond earlier. Thanks so much! I’m glad to hear that people like my products. Wait until you see the map structure for DL4; it’s crazy!
