[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8000960, member: 2209"] I've run Reign of Winter through the first three and they are fantastic, but it would be a lot of work to convert. Lots of non-MM monsters and witches everywhere. The farther along the Paizo timeline you get the more non MM monsters you will generally see because they have more bestiaries and non-PH classes to draw from. Thematically I would think the classic themed APs would be the easiest to convert, so Rise of the Runelords, Curse of the Crimson Throne, Carrion Crown, Shattered Star, Giantslayer, etc. I would think things like Iron Gods with its tech and robots or Jade Regent with a lot of (I would assume) Asian themed Non-MM monsters would be tougher. Traditionally about every other AP was going for a classic theme and every other one was a themed experiment pushing nonstandard concepts. Partially it will also depend on how many Non-MM 5e monster sources you have, there are a lot of OGL and DMs Guild stuff out there that can give neat equivalents. Paizo uses a bunch of Kobold Press and Green Ronin stuff scattered throughout their APs. [/QUOTE]
