edit: NOTE: I recently posted thoughts on how this will be updated here:
https://mikesixel.com/riding-the-rails-learnings-and-update/
This conversion of Riding the Rails is balanced for first, third, or fifth level characters (that’s right, there are versions for each of those three levels). The original Eberron adventure appeared in Dungeon 143. You must have the orignial to run this conversion.
In addition to conversion notes, there are two new encounters. First, we’ve added another passenger car. Second, if your players fail to stop the train, we’ve added a chase scene.
Links to DnDBeyond statblocks are supplied for monsters found in the Basic Rules.
There are six new statblocks
- Lesser Defender
- Living Sleep
- Mage 5
- Mournlands Touched Sorcerer 1
- Mournlands Touched Sorcerer 3
- New Mage
An art gallery of some of the monsters is at the end of the document.
Lastly, your purchase comes with battle maps for all encounters. There are versions with and without grids of the following encounters:
(new! I've updated the maps so you can string them together to make one (or two) long maps)
Helm
Luxury Car
Random Roof
Dining Car
Sitting Car
Sitting Car Roof
Sleeping Car
Storage Car
