PATHFINDER: Reign of Winter 4th Edition Conversion

So, 4th Edition is dead, at least in the eyes of Wizard of the Coast. Everyone has their views of why this happened. Personally I think the biggest mistake WotC did was to end their cooperation with Paizo. Paizo had delivered some really great adventures paths in the Dungeon Magazines, creating really memorable adventures.
So what should you do, if you as I like the more advanced 4th Edition combat and party interworking? I decided to give it a try to convert the latest Paizo adventure path to 4th Edition. Could the systems interwork? and could the "fluff" of Paizo bring back the magic to 4th Edition? Well we will have to see. If you want to contribute to this work, please do. Any advices, ideas, corrections, contributions, are more than welcome.

As I am only copying the necessary game elements that should be used in the 4th Edition game, I have taken away all the great context, information, and stories which creates the magic of the Paizo product. I therefore strongly advise you to purchase the Paizo products this conversion have been built upon, to run the Reign of Winter campaign. I did!

Wow! Thanks for doing this.

How many other 4e "mechanics-only" conversion adapters are out there? I'm definitely interested in Skull & Shackles (monsters, traps, etc.) for 4e. I'd buy it up right now if I didn't have to do that conversion work myself...

I have only seen a few pathfinder conversions out there. I think it could be quite exceiting to look at a 4th edition conversion of this great role-playing material.

The Snows of Summer
Got some time during Eastern to start the conversion of the first installment of the adventure path - The Snows of Summer. Had to increase the number of enemies on several encounters to better meet the 4th Edition combat setup. This forced me to rewrite many of the creature entries and tactics sections from the original adventure in order to meet the new monsters. I also had to convert 3 monsters that are not described in 4th Edition.

Thanks for sharing. I was intentionally not adding any map material, as it would get to close to the original Product. I want 4th Edition people to buy the Pathfinder Adventure, with my conversion to help them convert it to 4th Edition - not replacing the original material.

H15: Planning Room
Just added the H15 encounter conversion [Page 13-14]. It was interesting to convert a NPC to 4th Edition. I think I manage to convey the flavor of the 3.5 edition in the new statistics.

L-M2 Encounters
This have been quite a fun conversion work. In the M1 encounter I added some more descriptions on what the characters could see within the ice blocks, as well as I did a tweak of the haunt which will have players deciding either to take the challenge of staying to learn more, run away in terror, or leave in order to not face the damage dealt.

The M2 encounter with Thora Petska, the guardian doll, could become quite memorable as well. It is the first encounter in which they face the magic of the white witches, which should scare the party. In 4th edition I have made the guardian doll a solo monster (used a demilich and a beholder for inspiration). Will be fun to see five adventurers fighting of a single levitating doll!?!!

Please give any feedback on the doll, if you think it is over-powered or not.

M3-P5 Encounters
Have added some more encounters. One reflection in converting Pathfinder modules to 4th Edition, is that you very easily end up with Elite monsters, as most encounters are with individual unique monsters, you almost have to make them Elite in order to compensate the XP values. This might be fine, but I do not know how it will play out in the real adventure.
