Hoard of the Dragon Queen set in Blackmoor.

[Havard]

I am about to sit down with my Blackmoor book and the two adventures for The Rise of Tiamat(5E) and see if I can figure out how to place the adventure path in Blackmoor.

Anyone else already do this? I figure it's just a matter of converting organizations over from the realms to Blackmoor and then trying to figure out how to substitute locations.

Unless someone else comes along with the work done for me I will update this thread with my thoughts and perhaps even needs if I can't figure out what would be best.

That is a great idea! I just ran my first 5th Ed session last night

I don't have Rise of Tiamat yet though. I will look forward to future posts in this thread and try to offer suggestions if you are interested

I also want to come up with things to add so that the feel of Blackmoor comes through.

What locations and npc's do you guys consider must haves for a Blackmoor adventure 1-20(I plan on adding several side quest adventures to the adventure path along the way.

Well, some classics would be...

1) Castle Blackmoor (and its dungeon)
2) Temple of the Frog (and the swamps beyond)
3) City of the Gods (or at least have them take a look in the Valley of the Ancients, even if you're not taking them all the way to the City itself)
4) Dungeon of Glendover
5) Ruins of the Temple of Id
6) The Elven City of Ringlo Hall
7) The Dwarven Realm of the Regent of the Mines
8) The Peshwa Plains of the Horselords
9) The decadent and corrupt City of Starport in the Duchy of the Peaks
10) The Pirate Coast of the Duchy of Ten.
