Die Vecna Die

[JacktheRabbit]

Has anyone ever converted this 2ed module to 3ed?

I did a search and came up with this thread in the Conversions forum. In general, you might have better luck there.

Started, never finished.

The sheer number of NPC's and monsters in the module makes writing conversion notes for it a total slog- and it wasn't that great a module to begin with (but not as bad as some people seem to think).

Also, if it were to be run for 10th-14th level PC's, it would need some serious re-balancing.

I can't resist just posting to mention how hilarious I find the idea of converting Die Vecna Die (which I thought was an seriously great module) to 3E. The whole purpose of the adventure is to shake the cosmos for the express purpose of having an in-story reason for the new edition. Converting it to 3E is so ironic its funny.

Ahem, that said...I can't see how this would be that hard. Time consuming yes, utterly so, but not hard. It's mostly just monsters and high-level NPC's that'd need to be re-statted.

I never had access to this book, but I know it talks mainly about vecna trying to becoming a God, and in the process killing the Lady of Pain and using Iuz as Material component.


Can anyone who have this adventure give an resume of the story?

edit: spelling error

Tyler,

You said it would need rebalancing for a 3e party of 10th-14th level. Do you mean scaling it up or scaling it down?

Cheers

This is a pretty good summary of the adventure (found with Google): Adventure Summary

As with most higher-level 2nd (and 1st) Edition adventures, it needs to be scaled down. There are quite a few encounters with creatures that would have their way with a party of that level- especially the powerful spellcasters in the module.

Paladin 1: "So....."
Paladin 2: "....yeah?"
Paladin 1: "What's up?"
Paladin 2: "....things."
Paladin 1: "I'm bored."
Paladin 2: "So am I."
Paladin 1: "Wanna go kill evil?"
Paladin 2: "HELL YEAH, I wanna go kill evil! You give me a battlesword and some evil, I'll give that battlefield a work out!"
