All monsters published in any source by WotC are searchable through the D&D Compendium. You don't need to hunt through the magazines to find them. The compendium will give you their stats and a link to the source they appear in.

EDIT: Or were you talking about the magazines STAP originally appeared in?

Yep was talking about the now out of print mags, although I think the PDF are still available at paizo, but as I find PDF's useless for me I forgot.

But most if not all of Staps monsters should now be in one of the 4e books. I dont have them so cant say for sure

there was some Crimson Throne conversions going on the Paizo boards...

and there is a really good Rise of the Runelord conversion underway (cant remember the name of the blog)
 


I'd say Age of Worms. Though it killed 3.5e for me, it was pretty fun until the upper levels. 4e might make even those last few adventures fun.

The cool thing about converting these is you can rebalance the encounters to make them less TPK-friendly (which, at least AoW and SC were, in spades).
 

I really liked Rise of the Runelords, but my favorite so far is Legacy of Fire. Gnolls, more gnolls, genie-kin, and proteans. Yummy.
 

Yeah am running legacy right now with pathfinder rules and it's well written and very cool. I really cant see any issue with converting part 1. Far as I have read so far.

A few fights would work out great with the 4e minion rules I would think. That ones current, fun...and Gnolls...and genie war...I mean come on...gnolls. Really what more do ya need :)

95+% are And as far as the rooms, I've found I just change the scale from 1=5 to 1=ten. On the smaller ones. The biggest problem is the ship fight's however we go to multi level terrain for that. ON the deck no markers, Rigging Level 1 1 marker Top rigging 2, and for the Crows nest 3
 

I'm up to The third module in savage tides, and I gotta tell ya it's a breeze to convert. Plus having played through it in 3.5 besides the horrid Level 13+ combats the game was fun as can be. The only trouble I was having is fitting all 30 levels into it. I'd recommend having a pre adventure and getting the party to level 3-5 then starting but that's just me! Or heavily adding stuff in Sassarine. Take a look at how WOTBS did it's first adventure for 4e. There are plenty of great ideas on non combat encounters there, that you could use to pad the levels instead of pre.

I too am running a 4E conversion of Savage Tide. My plan is to end it at around the battle of Farshore, so no level 30 AP for me. I am done with those uber-long adventure paths.

It's mega easy to convert stuff to 4E I am finding... spending the bulk of my time redesigning encounter areas to make them better fit the 4E playstyle, and creating monsters which is a lot of fun. Rhagodessa was a snap to make and the players really hate them.

Are you finding the adventure is playing out well?
