3 Greyhawk 2nd ed. adventures

has anyone converted any of the Greyhawk products put out at the very end of 2nd edition?


Specifically I'm looking for the trilogy of The Star Cairs, Crypt of Lyzandred the Mad, and Doomgrinder.

I did a very poor job of converting them at the very beginning of 3E. I ran all 3 and we still had a great deal of fun. CoLtM was not bad, as I selected the rooms that were coolest and relatively easy to convert. There were some things in SC that were tough to figure out and I botched a couple of things. Doomgrinder, I just converted NPC's and the few monsters thereing. I didn't try to figure out exact rules conversions for the effects of the doomgrinder. IIRC, that was a pretty fun bunch of adventures (though I had heard negative reviews of them). I can't wait for the Age of Worms adventure path in Dungeon, as it starts in Diamond Lake (from Doomgrinder).

Let us know if you make any head way. I'd love to see some of these mods in the EN world downloads area.
