[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 7773183, member: 6780330"] The inn proper, which was weak and bizarre as a framing device, only had the Green Dragon In in Greyhawk as an alternative location. When you get to the actual Adventures, none of which involve the Yawning Portal in anyway, that changes. On page 9, for "The Sunless Citadel": "On Krynn, the citadel was once part of Xak Tsaroth, and it harbored worshippers of Takhisis. When that city was destroyed during the cataclysm, it fell into a right that opened in the earth. In this setting, consider replacing the kobolds in the adventure with gully dwarves." On page 33, for "The Forge of Fury": "On Krynn, Khundrukar can be placed anywhere in the Kharolis Mountains. An independent stronghold that has no direct tunnels connecting to Thorbardin, it was overrun by attackers during the Age of Might. During the Age of Despair, it was seized by Highlord Verminaard's forces. Consider replacing the orcs in the adventure with hobgoblins and the duergsr with Theiwar dwarves." On page 61, for "The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan": "The hidden shrine might not be part of an ancient city on Krynn, but instead an isolated temple for a weird dead cult devoted to the good Chenosh. The site could date back to the Age of Dreams, and might be on an isle or an isolated region near the Blood Sea of Istar." On page 95, for "White Plume Mountain": "Found near Neraka in the Khalkist Mountains, the mountain might be a place of interest not only to adventurers, but also to the armies of Takhisis." On page 109, for "Dead in That": "On Krynn, the Doomvault is likely to be the work of renegade wizards, perhaps of more than one color, with magic as their only alliance and moral compass. The dungeon might exist underneath a ruined Tower of High Sorcery, or it could be a haunt of Fistandantilus before his failed attempt at godhood. If it is part of the ruins, it could even be the Tower of Istar, which Nuitari took at the end of the Chaos War. Or it might be the same tower, after Mina raised it and the black-robed wizards took it for their own." On page 165, for "Against the Giants": "On Krynn, the alliance if giants could center on the Kharolis Mountains, bringing Abanasinia, Qualinesti, Thorbardin, Kharolis and Tarsis into the conflict. The ultimate villain in the Dragonlance setting would have to be dark exiles of an even more unexpected sort than those described in this adventure." And finally, on page 212, for "Tomb of Horrors": "The tomb on Krynn might be in the foothills near the Eastwall Mountains, in the Cursed Lands of Newsea, or in the Shadowglades of Krynn, where a renegade wizards who served Takhisis was said to dwell." Similar bits for each adventure detail Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms and Eberron possibilities. I reckon they will repeat something like that here. [/QUOTE]
