D&D 4E Pre-4e adventures ripe for conversion?

[tintagel]

The original Temple of Elemental Evil, by Gary Gygax and Frank Mentzer. I am already converting the old maps to 100dpi resolution maps. So far I have the Inn of the Welcome Wench, Nulb, the Waterside Hostel, the Moathouse (and dungeons) plus the 1st dungeon level mapped. I also have the ground level modeled in 3D using Google Sketchup. This is a monumental mapping challenge for me, and is going to be finished one day, though it might be the death of me.

For example, the 1st dungeon level is a monstrous 7,000 x 9,000 pixel image. Every table, sausage, weapon, and lumpy sack mentioned in the flavor text is there. Call it my final tribute to ToEE and Mr. Gygax. Call it insanity.

At any rate, I plan to run it in full 4E rules, just as soon as I get more of it mapped...

I ran through the preview characters with paizo's "Crown of the Kobold King".
...
However, as a 4th edition adventure it was a blast.

Which is why I don't really understand the "4E does not allow Paizo to tell the types of Pathfinder stories they want" argument.

I would not mind playing through anything and everything with 4E. Conversion should be easy, since creating from whole cloth seems to also be easy. I would like to play through Dungeon, the original 3E Adventure Path, and all Pathfinder products, using 4E rules.

You are truly mad! Though it is a madness, i covet and respect.

Anyway, i scanned the maps from Undermountain and put them into MS OneNote, then hyperlinking all the rooms to their (OCRed and copied) text desciptions. It has not yet seen use in my Moonsea campaign (players didn´t find the portal yet), and i have not dropped in many statblocks, so there is quite a possibility that i use 4e stat cards to develop it.

paiZo is the back stop for all the other 3rd party publishers.
if wizards doesn't deliver on the GSL front there is some place to retreat to.
They may also like 3.5 but there's a lot more going on than that

P.S. A thread was started a few days ago in the general thread talking about Convertable Adventures. There is surprisingly little overlap if people are looking for more ideas.

Wow, lucky you. Blade of Vengeance has to be my all time favorite module put out by anybody. I'm sure it would be a lot better known if it wasn't just for one player. It really nails down a Tolkien/faerie tale flavor like no other module I've ever read.

D'yknow, I've never heard of it - I think I only ever got AD&D modules and never really looked at BECMI modules at all.

From the cover art I probably wouldn't even have picked it up, but it is getting such glowing reports that I might spring for the PDF of it.

One question though - in BECMI, elves were a sorta F-MU in one class, were they not? For those who have/have run BoV, how important is that to the story?

Cheers

I'm running Temple of Elemental Evil at the office. I also have notes on converting Keep on the Borderlands and the first module in the Slavers series.

I was about to post:

"you run dnd at your office, cool!!"

Then I read your username.. Made me laugh anyway.


EDIT: Anyway, on topic, I have an old copy of Keep of the Borderlands at home I picked up from a second hand place. I've just flicked through it. Is it a good Adventure to run? I know it is a favourite of some peoples.

What is it that people like about it?

There are two "adventures" that I'm definitely going to update. The first is the classic First Edition A1-A4 adventures. Those are some of my favorites. The second one is Expedition to Castle Ravenloft.
