Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kwalish Kid" data-source="post: 4142965" data-attributes="member: 446">I'm converting Scourge of the Howling Horde and Rahasia. Scourge requires a big increase in the number of creatures and a change to the maps as well, since the terrain is not quite dynamic enough and is a little too restrictive. I'm throwing in some extra staircases and ramps, widening the halls, and I'm adding some variety to the encounters.For example, the absolutely bizarre encounter with a goblin druid and his wolf will be very different in the 4E version. I'm going to change it to a goblin wizard with a few animal familiars. The goblin wizard will stay hidden in the tree branches while the animals attack.Rahasia is an interesting one, since as a Basic D&D adventure, it has a lot of aspects that are quite removed from most conversions. For example, there are elven monks who are effectively multiclass fighter/wizards. I'm thinking of keeping this aspect, combining elements of an elven NPC warrior with an elven NPC spellcaster. Rahasia is the original source for the skeletal tomb guardian, so that monster will be an easy conversion (and should be just tougher enough than the party to scare them away without instantly killing a PC, just like it's supposed to do). The water weird will probably be easily replaced by a small elemental critter. I worry about the gargoyle, since gargoyles are much tougher now.Again, Rahasia needs some help in the dynamic terrain department. The teleportation aspects of the dungeon might be able to provide some of this.One thing that I think will make every 4E game better: columns. Give those archers something to take cover behind.I may also do the adventure from the last 2nd Ed dungeon magazine where the PCs have 3 real time hours to find four bombs planted around a city. I ran it for two 3E groups and I would like to see how it plays in 4E. Skill challenges are the bomb. In this case, literally.</blockquote>
