D&D 4E Porting the RHoD to 4e

[the8bitdeity]

Has anyone looked at porting the Red Hand of Doom to 4ed? Do you think it's an appropriate adventure to try to port, or are the design considerations too different?

I don't see anything in Red Hand that would be problematic. However, you're probably going to have to create some creatures from scratch.

You might be interested to know that Red Hand of Doom 2 (a sequel set 10 years later) is going to be serialized in Dungeon starting in July.

There's a several page thread in the House Rules forum devoted to converting Red Hand of Doom. It may have slipped a few pages back by now, but if you can find it, I'm sure it would give you at least a solid starting place for your own conversions.

Cool to know. Is there any idea what tier (or level) it would start at? I was thinking of establishing a Level 1 campaign within the locale of RHoD then leading into a converted RHoD

I think 4ed could really spice up some of the encounters too. I see minions really coming into play in this adventure to give that epic war feel to it.

I looked about 20 pages in and missed it. Any chance someone who can search provide a link within this thread, to essentially close this thread?

EDIT
Nevermind I found it. Here it is:
