I'm converting Life's Bazaar to Arcana Evolved

[punkorange]

I am going to allow only humans as PC races, and from there else for pc rules it's arcana evolved. After the shackled city, or the initial characters, I might include more aspects of the arcana evolved campaign world such as races, prestigue classes, etc.

I'm wondering, have any of you ran the shackled city using arcana evolved, and if so what tips did you have? How well do the npc classes translate, what did you use for the clerics of St. Cuthbert, etc.

Are there any websites that you know of that might happen to have some good resources?

Thanks in advance.

Me too!

No, really, I just got Arcana Evolved and I'm much more impressed by it than I expected to be (not being much of a Monte fan). I have also just ordered the Shackled City Adventure Path Hardcover and would really like to combine them, but it seems like an awful lot of work.

Has anyone tried running this with the players using Arcana Evolved and the GM using D&D 3.5? Any stories to share?

AU uses the NPC classes from the DMG. The only thing you have to do is give everyone an extra feat (which they take as a Talent usually unless they are Unbound and can take two Talents). If they have Hide and Move Silently, it merges into Sneak and they have a couple extra points.

For the clerics of St. Cuthbert, you have a couple choices. It can be magisters, greenbonds or witches with the Priest feat. That's the simplest conversion. Or you can leave them as is and allow them to have "divine magic". (I don't recommend the latter as then the PCs will want the divine option.)

For general resources, you can't beat ENWorld with generators, images, and people to talk to. For AE-specific stuff, there's Monte's boards (I think I saw that you posted there earlier today) and www.diamondthrone.com which is chock-full of fan-created material you can use in your game and to help convert.

There's no chance of finding any DM Genie files for arcana evolved is there? Would that even be possible without copyright violation?
