(When I ran H6 in 3E, It was more or less H6, but I just converted what I wanted to use and scrapped the rest, like most of the ridiculous puzzle-mazes and the mook undead encounters; Also, it was more of 'The Return of H6', as H6 had already been completed in the current timeline, so the plot was a bit different) While I also know DMs who would run the adventure as-is to the letter. (I have seen Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil run like this more times than I care to imagine)I imagine most DMs work someplace in the middle; Keep the meat and bones, perhaps bend the fluff a bit to suit their game, but mostly keep it the same. (They wouldn't run that adventure if it's not what they wanted to run, after all)However, I don't yet know how 4E Adventures are structured. 4E might have a drastically simpler model for adventure design. I certainly hope encounters are as dynamic as they say they will be without all the work. In 3E its much easier just to have one big monster/high level npc vs the PCs.As for designing adventures; I don't think I have the scope to write an epic adventure, but maps and mathwork I can do. I'll brush up (pun intended) on my photoshop-fu and see if I can throw together some professional-looking maps. (Although I think it will be WotC who set the bar as far as adventure quality; I don't think I can top their pre-rendered digital map tiles, but I'll see what I can do) I can't promise anything right now, but since most of this discussion is hypothetical anyway...</blockquote>
