[QUOTE="WildWalker, post: 4154799, member: 63878"] I started in on a conversion of the Temple of K'thu'uk last night and ran smack dab into a new understanding of the resource management in 4e. It is completely different. Very cool, but different. This means that a straight conversion isn't even close to being possible. Since I don't like the idea of picking on poor defenseless Kolbolds anyways (they've just become too cool), I've decided to rewrite the fluff into Redcaps ( Brownies turned Boggart turned murderous nasties) and thier undead minions. It'll be a little while till it's done but I have to tell you, I'm having the time of my life rewriting the adventure! With M20 (even my hack) it is a cakewalk. The hardest part is back matching the crunch to the limited list of "known" monsters from 4e.
