Thanks Keterys! This is why I posted to the forums...to catch things like that. I had wanted the weakened state to reflect blood loss, as the 3E crimson death did Constitution damage. Is it unreasonable to up the ongoing damage to 15, or should I just raise it to 10?

I searched but couldn't find a conversion of the crimson death, so I reskinned an existing monster to create one.

There is a map of Shedaklah on page 144 of the 3.5E book Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss. Besides the two sources you mentioned, there are also maps of the Demonweb in Dungeon #84 for the adventure "The Harrowing." You can still buy it in pdf format here. (And incidentally, "The...

Dragongrief, I plugged your creature into the Monster Builder so you could see what the numbers look like: Note that chain lightning's range for its secondary and tertiary attacks is greater than you had (it's an existing power in the builder), and defensive strike is different (again, I...

That's about as far as I got with "The Whispering Cairn" before I turned my attentions to "Dawn of a New Age." I found some great conversions of the avolakia here by the Jester to use as a base for the avolakia ghostpriests. Since I know there are avolakias in several of the adventures, here's...

Actually, that's not what the definition of a swarm says. Swarms can occupy the same space as another creature, and an enemy can enter a swarm's squares, treating it as difficult terrain, but there's nothing that says a swarm can move through an enemy's squares. Hence the power blur to black.

The first thing I note, Rechan, is the lack of an aura, which (I'm guessing without checking every single one) all swarms have. I'd also recommend that frenzied rending deal the ongoing damage as well, since the swarm's basic attack does. Finally, I'd give it either a move action power or a...

The final parts of the encounter are the monsters that emerge when the false elevator trap triggers. Rather than create an acid beetle swarm, I simply lowered a centipede swarm in DDI's Monster Builder to a level 2 brute, then turned my attentions to converting the mad slasher to 4E. So what...

The first encounter in "The Whispering Cairn" is with a pack of wolves. It's not particularly inspired, but I simply placed 4 gray wolves (level 2 skirmisher) for a level 1 encounter (500 XP). The next encounter is a complicated one, as there's no way to judge just what the characters will do...

My tabletop gaming group is fully entrenched in 4E with another as the DM, and my online 3.5E Planescape game is hit-or-miss these days with everyone's schedules, so I've decided to convert Paizo's Age of Worms adventure path to 4E. I was running it before 4E came out, and I'd like to run it...

Oh! Can't forget "Old Man Katan and the Incredible, Edible Mushroom Band" from issue #41. LOVE IT!

I have to second "Into the Fire," "Trouble at Grog's," and "Hirward's Task" as fantastic older adventures, and add the following: "The Keep at Koralgesh" (in #2) The heroes explore a ruined kingdom built into a mountain. "The Trouble with Mylvin Wimbly" (in #5) The heroes aid a halfling...

Highs Playing 4E! Building up my mini collection and 3D paper terrain collection One daughter (out of 4) captivated by gaming! DDI Mortaneus's Combat Tracker (love it!) Lows My 3.5E tabletop Age of Worms campaign is languishing My 3.5E online Planescape campaign is gasping its last breaths...

Off the top of my head, I can think of two adventures where a goddess has gone missing -- the Forgotten Realms 2E adventure "For Duty and Deity" and the 1E planar adventure from Tales of the Outer Planes, "A Simple Deed, Well Rewarded." In "For Duty and Deity," Waukeen voluntarily gave up her...

I've got 4E stats for rogue modrons as a PC race on my blog over at wizards.com: http://community.wizards.com/kajal_the_southern_oracle/blog/2009/09/03/modron_planescape_4e I've also been working on restatting them as monsters for 4E as well for my online campaign, but I don't have anything...

If you can find it, get a copy of The Eternal Boundary, a 2E Planescape adventure. It's easily scalable to whatever level you're currently at, has great flavor for the locales featured in the encounters, and you can easily launch the adventure by having the person who hires the party to find...

I got the DMG 2 on Tuesday, and I think it's fantastic! It's not just limited to usefulness in 4E, either; I play in a 4E campaign and run two 3.5E campaigns, and I've converted a bunch of stuff from 4E to 3.5E with no problems. Cooperative storytelling, making better use of terrain, even...

I will second the votes for The Great Unknown, Harbinger House, The Great Modron March, Dead Gods, and Faction War. I'm currently on the 8th year of my online campaign that encompasses those last three modules. I'd also like to recommend "Umbra" from Dungeon magazine #55 (by Chris Perkins)...

My online group is leery of 4E, so I've slowly been introducing elements of it to our 3.5 campaign over the past year. Below is a skill challenge I just designed to integrate the process into our game. (The scenario is taken from the Planescape adventure Dead Gods, if anyone is interested.)...

2000 (WotC) The Vortex of Madness and Other Planar Perils Yet another planar adventure I've integrated into my online Planescape campaign! While it has some rough spots, the overall adventure is entertaining. It centers around the artifact called "The Machine of Lum the Mad" and its...
