Module conversions: what would you like to see?

[Ranes]

I figured you may have thought I was talking about the Baba Yaga adventure from Dragon mag. I was referring to the adventure book though. It's still levels 7-20 (2nd ed). I once started converting it and found 3.5 stats for both Baba Yaga and the hut. I think I converted around the first 4 rooms and stopped because the players encountered the hut (the front yard) and then left when they determined the chicken legs were too difficult and this wasn't part of their main quest. Bummer, cause I was looking forward to running it as a side quest.

What a shame. It's always a little disheartening when players don't bite. Such a great theme for a dungeon, too.

You're right though, I was thinking about the Dragon adventure. I remember it being popular and it certainly caught my imagination back then. I never ran it or played it though. I was completely surprised to learn of the stand-alone second edition module (or campaign, from the sound of it). I only Googled it when I realised the module I'd been thinking of had a slightly different title. (I missed just about everything from the nineties, except bizarrely, Dragon Mountain.)

The rest of the adventures I listed are ones that I've made note of over the years whenever someone suggested it as being a fun module to run/play in. They are all from prior editions. Since I still play 3.5, it didn't occur to me until now that you may have been looking to convert 4e or 5e adventures.

Well, I did use the third edition tag for this thread. It's what I still DM. I believe fans of every edition should be able to play the adventure of their choice in their edition but I'm only interested in converting well loved adventures to 3.x.

I'm surprised you are willing to tackle the Ro7P! Awesome! Thanks so much, and I can assure you that your work will be used in my game! I may even figure out how to use additional chapters in my current campaign if you manage to do them.

I might not be as mad as I think. Yes, Ro7P is a campaign and I came here looking for module suggestions. However, I was never going to stop at just one module, and this exercise may help me complete future conversions more quickly. Also, I looked on the web and it seems a lot of people have asked for this over the years. Sure, many of those people are playing 5e at the moment but it won't be the shiny new thing forever. Who knows, there may even be a 3e renaissance down the line (look at OSRIC). TL;DR? I think it's worth it.

The Night Below has been done and the conversion is available here, as are multiple takes on Against the Giants. I can't recall if WotC actually remade the latter as well but I know they produced updated floorpans. As for TRoSP, I'm going to do it. For the lulz.

Good luck with your AP. Nothing is more satisfying than making stuff from scratch.

Not surprised that Night Below was converted. I just wasn't aware of what adventures already HAD been converted.

Although I'm surprised that there would be multiple version of the Against the Giants. I don't understand how people find Giants to be all that interesting. Which is why even though Paizo is usually pretty good at storytelling, our group has unanimously agreed to avoid the Giantslayer AP.

And thanks for the luck. It's going well. Maybe a little slower than I had wanted, but enjoyable so far.

I'm working on Ro7P as well for 5e. Wondering if we can set up a site to collaborate.:.

I'm very happy to collaborate. Apart from anything else, that'll help keep me from letting it slide.

Not sure if we need a site to do that but please PM me if you have specific suggestions.

Thanks.

I think I have some of the older Enworld conversions on my old hard drive. I'll see if dwellers is there.

The Temple of Elemental Evil. Nothing more, nothing less. I would so love that. (all organized into one pdf, following the same format as the old one)

That has been converted to 3.5. I think I got it here from ENWorld.

One older adventure that is said to be good that I would like a conversion for is The Shattered Circle. It doesn't seem to be a very big adventure, so it might be easy to convert.

I started working on Ro7P. It is actually pretty straight forward as far as creatures. It made me start doing calculations for 2e monsters, figuring out what the equivalent stats would be other than INT (which is provided).

Started on Ro7P for 3e couple of weeks ago but work has prevented me from getting very far. As I said to @Oryan77 earlier in the thread, I've started with Uninvited Guests. I'm about two thirds of the way through but I have less time to spend on it than I thought I would, so it's going to be slow progress for a while.

@ehenning, apologies for not getting back to you sooner. As and when I have chapters to share, I will do. Not sure it'll help you with a 5e conversion though (which, as you say, shouldn't be too hard from the 2e original).

@diaglo, fancy seeing you here. I started this thread to ask if people still wanted 3e conversions of old modules. Of Sound Mind is d20 (3.0) already. Surely, if you want to convert it to OD&D, you just make everything d6 damage and you're good to go, right?
