A bitch to convert

A conversion using the official guidelines won't work - there are too many situations that are just not convertible (a lot of traps and such that don't have DCs, a lot of monsters that in 1st Ed are just WAY too easy. I'm in the middle of running it in 3E from my own conversion (sorry, it's written down all in pencil, not in my 'puter).

Converting Strahd to a 3rd Edition character is the most important element, and making him 3rd edition makes him quite a bit more powerful (but 3rd Ed characters are more powerful too).

I won't say much else, I have players who frequent this board.

I went through and did it myself, I know some others in a similar thread on Monte Cooke's message board have said the same. You might try to hunt that thread down and see if any of them have their work available.

I'll tell you now, if you want to convert this one yourself, it's a bitch to get balanced. Also it's quite huge. I spent a lot of time getting Strahd worked out...he's the most important element in the adventure. It will take you a long time to do, but the adventure is well worth it...my players are loving it!
