ConversionsDiscuss converting RPG materials from older editions of D&D and other systems to D&D 3rd Edition. Monster conversions should go in the Creature Catalog forums.
My second post......Well here goes....
I'm in the process of converting the good old Dragon Mountain to 3.5. It takes a lot of time, it's fun though...but then I thought that out there in the great big world, a friendly soul might already have gone trough the converting process and might want to share their material. I saw a thread once that somebody had made the convertion, but I didn't find the info...So has anybody done it and are they willing to share?

Hey Houston EN Worlders! Interested in Getting together? Let's meet up and have lunch or something!
Hmmmm, well, yes....As I said, I have begun the process of converting this monster of an adventure. At the time I began my computer was out of whack, or something to that effect, so I did it all the old fashion way...pen and paper, and I kind of liked it and dumb as I was, I continued that way. At the moment I've more or less completed converting book I, a long with monsters and such. And all the info is written on paper, PAPER!!! Not easy to share, but I suppose scanning the material could be done, and I suppose sense could be made out of my handwriting for all other mortal beings, but I am sceptical of how well the outcome could be, but send me a mail, and I could scan a few pages and you could let me know if it's useable.
Oh! another point: I'm Danish, I write all stats ans such in English, but some notes here and there might be hard for y'all to figger out, since it's in...Danish! But I'm willing to give it a try.
In the word of Mr. Eric Idle....finland,finlad, finland...is where I'd like to be....

I'd like to see it! Could you post it on here, though, so we could all see it? A few pages, at least?

I've run two sessions with the converted material, and I think it needs a lot more work, than mere "direct translation" into 3.5. The encounters are not balanced. Either they are complete walk overs or they tend towards TPK. So a lot more work needs to be put into it, and I'm not sure I'm up for it (RL issues ). I may scan a few pages at some point, but my personal opinion is that it is a waste of perfectly good time.
Untill next time!

Thanks for the update! More specifics would be useful--especially how you converted everything and how you think it should be adjusted. But maybe that's too much effort?

I am also planning to use Dragon Mountain with my players (6 pc, 11th and 12th level). I would be grateful for ANY help with the conversion to 3rd edition (even the few page scans from gworeth would be useful, if he could send me ). I could also help in the conversion process, if there are other DMs currently doing that.
I am particularly interested in how the encounters can be balanced to reflect the changes from 2nd to 3rd edition.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
possible spoiler the polymorphed fire giant isn't as quite as mean as it used to be, now it'd have the typical stats of a kobold, but I'm sure with some character levels and the 1/2-dragon template (or any other templates) you could come up with an equivalently bad-ass kobold ... with some other templates (draconic) and character levels I'm sure you could spice things up a bit.
good luck
