   I tried to run original star wars on rpol, didn't go so well and I   
   ghosted it. I'm not happy with myself on that, but it is what it is.   
      
   I played to 13th level as a tempest cleric in 5e in my friend's game on   
   roll20, 2 hours a week.  I don't remember how many sessions.   
      
   At least it's converted 1e/basic modules.  The Lost City, When a Star   
   Falls, Beyond the Crystal Cave, Pharoah, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth   
   Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, and now Tomb of Horrors.   
      
   I really liked The Lost City.  When a Star Falls was confusing. Beyond   
   the Crystal Cave and Pharoh was fun.  Tsojcanth was a nasty killer   
   dungeon and confusing, not sure on that one.  Barrier Peaks was my   
   favorite.   
      
   I knew a bit too much on Barrier Peaks, I thought I knew Tsojanth, but   
   didn't.   
      
   Tomb of Horrors I've had to recuse myself from and act like an NPC   
   because I know way too much about. I was not happy with that either as   
   I've run/played in it about a total of 3 times and never liked it.   
   Though some of it was wrong either misremembering or the more memorable   
   one time I played it was changed quite a bit (it's where I was killed by   
   100 bees for 1hp each on opening a chest, like really?  Did the DM need   
   to make it deadlier, and the bees only attacked me?) I started playing   
   it a bit more suicidally and that was making it a bit more fun.  My   
   character also got gender changed and alignment reversed so is now   
   lawful evil.  5e is making it much less deadly too.
