I love that adventure, and the entire first Book of Treasure Maps. The maps are interesting and often creative (although a bit too tied into the Wilderlands setting). I do plan on adapting some of them to my 4E campaign in Eberron.

The second one isn't nearly as interesting, with not very creative maps. The third one is awful, without any "treasure maps" in the book, just a collection of adventure sites. What's the point of a "Book of Treasure Maps" without the maps?

Right now I just introduced Tegel Manor into my campaign. There are bumps in the adaption (since I've been doing it on the fly), especially a lot of constricted areas. Once I get a chance to plan a bit more, I expect more smoothness.

For those of you JG Fans who liked the Wilderlands I have a new product in the same spirit. Despite it's title the stats work for any edition of D&D except for 4th.

Also the upcoming 3rd issue of Fight-On! is dedicated to the memory of Bob Bledsaw and will contain a new, unofficial, expansion to the Wilderlands of High Fantasy. Map 19 the Wild North. It is located just north of the Valon Map.

Enjoy

I'm not against doing it in non-D/D brand systems, such as C&C, but darn it, I"m not going to learn another system to do the translation myself; I already know that when I try to translate into a system (3E) that I don't play, it doesn't get done well.

Geoff
The reason I suggested C&C is because of how you'll be able to write it up like you did for 1E. The main thing will be determining challenge levels for the effectiveness/danger of the various stuff you wrote up. Which will likely be the 3E save DC-10=CL. If I find those MS's I'll talk to you in more detail about it.

It is the spirit of the game, not the letter of the rules, which is important. NEVER hold to the letter written, nor allow some barracks room lawyer to force quotations from the rule book upon you, IF it goes against the obvious intent of the game. As you hew the line with respect to conformity to major systems and uniformity of play in general, also be certain the game is mastered by you and not by your players. Within the broad parameters give in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Volumes, YOU are creator and final arbiter. By ordering things as they should be, the game as a WHOLE first, your CAMPAIGN next, and your participants thereafter, you will be playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons as it was meant to be. May you find as much pleasure in so doing as the rest of us do.
