Original Adventures Reincarnated #4 - The Lost City

Totalling more than thirty maps with hundreds of encounters, and some dozen new creatures and spells, this Original Adventures Reincarnated The Lost City did to B4 what the Curse of Strahd did to I6: current game designers expanded a small old school module into a large book, based on other publications about- and commentaries contained in- the original. You can easily spend a year playing here. Without spoiling much, if you enjoy rivaling factions (my only critique: these are pointlessly gendered), grotesque monsters, lost civilizations and an unknown, mysterious underground world, The Lost City is for you. Solid five-star adventure, art and book quality. Different from some of the other books in the same series, only about 50 out of the 320 pages is dedicated to the publication history and reproduction of the original module, which is just enough. Definitely worth buying. Thanks Goodman Games for such an amazing work.

I don't play 5th edition but the inclusion of the old version brings back some very good times. Binding and cover are done very well and it is graphically very pleasing.

In the original module, there were center sheets often separated from the module booklet with maps of the lower pyramid, the lost city, and a cross-section of the above ground and below ground terrain (as shown in the images attached). Finding these intact is sometimes difficult or costly for the vintage module itself. I am happy to report that this version includes all of this material! If you would like a complete reprint, this book has it, and it was really the only reason I thought it worth buying.

The Original Adventures Reincarnated series from Goodman Games continues a winning streak with OAR 4: The Lost City. The original adventure, heavily influenced by the Conan story "Red Nails", features a unique location, mysterious people, weird monsters, and warring factions. The conversion updates the adventure to D&D 5e and adds a wealth of expanded material, while preserving the original. For fans of earlier D&D editions, it is a simple matter to convert to those rulesets.This book has enough material to keep adventures in the lost city going for months, if not years, of actual gameplay.

I know that Goodman games brought this adventure back for the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Great pictures and a great story.

If you’re looking to just simply run a converted 1e to 5e version of The Lost City I’d just stick with getting the original adventure on pdf and a conversion guide from Classic modules today on the DMs guild. I want to say that this book is really more a remake than a simple conversion. It’s kinda like it’s both the original and like how in 2e they made sequels to iconic dungeons like The Return to White Plume Mountain, or Mark of Amber. In essence this is like both The Lost City and Return to The Lost City in one adventure and it kinda feels more like a mega dungeon because of it. I’d frankly avoid using this book’s conversion of Zargon unless you intend on running the “remake” because he’s got a CR 13 and needlessly to say that’s way to much for a level 1-3 party. Now some of the other stat blocks for the original monsters I’d say are spot on if you want to drop them in the original adventure for 5e.

First off, I own all 5 of these that are currently out.I absolutely love them, as I can now take my family through dungeon crawles they will have little, to no clue about!

An old classic finally made available for the 5th Edition. Pulp, sword & sorcery adventure at it's best :)
