[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8279137, member: 29398"] From the sound of it you seem to be trying to do the adaptation and conversion almost on the fly rather than get it all in place ahead of time i.e. before starting play. Deities* for example are something I nail down pre-play; after which I've always found it very easy to slot in something from the setting to replace whatever deity a module might ask for. So in this case if the module asks for Tymora and they're in my Greek-like lands, in goes Aphrodite instead. * - and Zhentarim-like cabals if I knew I was going to need them; though here I might just change nothing except the name. :) Which is almost what I'd suggest in your case for the deities: if you're looking for a pseudo-FR feel only without all the FR baggage, just use the exact same pantheon but change all the names. Tymora might become Artima, for example. [/QUOTE]
