The Pathfinder/Rise of the Runelords campaign that I'm currently playing in should end in about 2 months - we're almost finished book 5 of 6 and we're flying through it as a bunch of fairly optimized semi-murder-hobos to be honest. I'm not a hobo, I have a house and family!
I was planning on running Frog God's Slumber Tsar saga because it's the most amazing sand-box campaign that I've ever seen! I bought the Pathfinder version of it.
Now though I'm really interested in playing 5th edition as it reminds me more of the earlier editions and their style that I love. An earlier edition style that Frog God Games stuff seems to me to fit well.
Has anybody run any of the Frog God Games stuff (especially their mega-sandboxes Slumbering Tsar or Sword of Air) under fifth ed? I wish that I'd bought the S&W version of Tsar now as I think that might be a more straight forward conversion to 5th ed. I could always buy the S&W PDF to go with my Pathfinder hard-back.
Is on-the-fly conversion at all realistic? With such a huge sandbox world part of the fun will be not knowing where the players are going to go. I'm sure that a lot of the time I'll know pretty much what's next but I'm hoping that there will be a lot of them controlling where they end up and I don't want to rail-road towards stuff that I have pre-converted.
I'm only new to 5th ed but I'm a quick learner and I have a very good knowledge of Pathfinder but I'm time poor - 3 young kids and a full-time job so I can't put hours of prep in each week.
Anybody doing this stuff? How's it working out for you? Any advice!
[edit] I obviously should have mentioned that they're currently doing a kickstarter that comes in 5th Edition - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/froggodgames/the-lost-lands-borderland-provinces I have backed that - it looks great - but I want to run Tsar very soon Maybe I'll do the Borderlands afterwards but I could see Tsar lasting a very long time.
