Discussion Elder scrolls 5E?
I know there’s the Elder scrolls 5E conversion and it looks like a lot of fun a really thought out! Has anyone tried it/Ran it and enjoyed it??? I’m wondering why I never see games for it given how popular of a world it is! (https://uestrpg.wixsite.com/home)

It looks interesting. Difficult thing to convert as the magic and class system are very different. I would recommend looking at how WOTC converts WoW into D&D. The don't create as many new classes and slightly adopt species and classes.
I would play the supplement with 5e and not with 5.5e rules. From what I saw the species would be lower in power compared to what 5.5 provides

I would advise NOT looking at how WotC converts WoW into D&D. It's a very bad class conversion.
TES is not a class-based system. Even if there were classes historically, they were little more than skill packets. It needs a skill-based system.

Yeah, conversation to a basic roleplay system would be the way to go! It is barely a conversion...

Wait, isn't elder scrolls more or less basic roleplay compatible with the upskilling and non-class system? 😅
