Actually, for me the conversion is mostly working, but I'm using all the suggested upgrades we talked about. There are too many good opportunities for future plot hooks (if I decide to use them). Szandur became a prominent member of the local mages guild - who's officially MIA while she does...

As of this update they are sitting on the cusp of Book II. The next update will have the group up at the Eelhold, and from there they go a huntin' deep below the earth. Game-wise they're in Book III.

The next few updates will be small, but hopefully they'll come quicker...

Time in Between A crisp, brittle cold filled the night air around Thurmaster. The surprise snow from ten days ago was long gone, but the night air was filled with the promise of a winter soon to come. Kellron gazed at the dilapidated inn called the Hounds and Tails and grimaced. There was no...

The conversion library has Book I. Leopold and I were working on Book III, but things got busy. I haven't seen a True Book II, though I know some people were working on it. I managed to find an interpreted Book II conversion - but I found that the person who did the conversion cut down the...

I've sent a (near) SRD compliant draft your way. Leopold and I only did a first pass through it, so it is rife with errors (for my part at any rate), but we touched every section of the book. All non-SRD monsters have been pulled, but references for the monsters have been provided. All in in...

Winter’s Journey Religion can be a touchy subject. How much moreso within an empire ruled by divine right? According to the priests of Latina, the Emperor (or Emperess when those times occur) can trace direct lineage to Latina herself. There is no question that Latina is the supreme deity...

I've got a similar character in the game I'm running. I just make sure I know what the possible modifiers are to convince someone to stop fighting (or not to start). Regardless, my players generally use an equal mix of diplomacy and violence - they like the combats. It's in the city where...

merci - From the sound of things the party made it to bottom of the mine and are about to fight the priests? Ouch. My guys were about 4th-ish and it got a little harried as I recalled. Still, it's do-able with a smart party and if the priests are only mostly co-ordinated. Good luck to them...

Thanks - part of the perspective change is to make up for the sparse notes I have on this period of the game, part of it is to highlight the things I know about the world. Glad it's working. And Ashimar is almost as modest as his player. :p

Legends of the Orcs What is an orc? Who you ask defines the answer you receive. Ask many of the religious leaders in the Empire of Shtara (at least amongst the faiths of Latina and Sarath) and you will be told “Orcs are what happens when the forces of evil twist the forms of man and dwarf...

Heh. I have fond memories running those first three modules, picking them apart and making them fit in my world. It didn't really take a whole lot of work to make it fit either. The designers did good. Well, to be perfectly fair I probably didn't do the creature as much justice as it could...

I've made a couple minor changes to the last post. Some editorial, but someone noted that I never actually gave a description of Ghaerleth and I left out one other minor detail.

A History of Recent Events Two years ago I had the opportunity to start running Night Below with a group consisting of some new and old players on Sunday while I ran the Adventure Path series of modules on Thursday. It was only natural for me to make some plot connections. It is about here...

Thanks for the praise. It cetainly helps in trying figure out how to allocate my time. :) Here's another post - and I'm hoping to get another one out over the weekend. Be warned, they're a little experimental, so please bear with me.

My players were 14th level with their first encounter of the City of the Glass Pool; but most of them leveled after that. There was a thief, a wizard, a cleric, a paladin and his paladin cohort. The paladins and priests had AC's around 29 to 31. The group had pretty much completed everything...

Well, I've sent what I used as a basis. I don't have anything else in the computer unfortunately. Some conversion notes though (personal opinion only of course): Area 1 Piercers can be found in The Tome Of Horrors The Lurker is also in the Tome of Horrors, and also in WOTC's Underdark If you...

Nope. You are right. The aboleth city (Shaboath) was raised to be slightly above water. Sunkenhome however is a lost drow outpost that was sunk beneath the waves many years ago by powerful magic. Upon rereading the section, apparently air bubbles will occasionally rise to the surface...

Additional food for thought for those looking to convert. I can't seem to find exactly how deep the Sunless Sea is. My players went to Sunkenhome this last week and met the Kraken and the Banshee and are looking to explore the depths of the city now. I've arbritarily set the depth at 350...

The Country Cottage – Early Fall A much subdued group arrived in Thurmaster two days later. The trip to Corlean had certainly been of mixed results. On the sword hand Kellron and Ashimar had gained a measure of fame and recognition from within their chosen order. On the shield hand Kestral...
