Thunderspire Sidetrecks and Realms conversion

[TerraDave]

At Dungeon: a 10 page sidetreck and a 5 page guide for adopting to the Realms that also includes an extra skill challenge.

The sidetrek is high quality. The Realms conversion is HUGE step down from the last one. Ginormous step down. Quite disappointing actually.

I've been trying to access this since yesterday when it was posted, but every time I visit the D&D site I get:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03e9'

Out of memory

/default.asp, line 0

Any ideas if there is something I can do on my end to get to the site?

Thaumaturge.

Edit: I figured it out. The site doesn't like Firefox 3 right now. It doesn't mind IE8 so much.

I don't think it is your browser. I had the same problem at work. I think it was on their end.

That's disappointing as the last one was pretty well done, especially as one of my PC's is a Selunite cleric... *sigh* I guess I'll need to do the work myself.... *CURSE YOU WOTC*

I like the sidetrecks, but where's the Eberron conversion? Will we get one at a later date?

I'm thinking there's not going to be one. There doesn't appear to be any sort of conversion or side trek for Pyramid of Shadows either.

They tend not to release conversions and side treks before the adventure has been released.

The only thing about Thunderspire that isn't Eberronish is the temple to Baphomet. Which could be switched to one of the Dark Six (The Mockery works), or perhaps some cult dedicated to one of the Lords of Dusk.

The Placement of Thunderspire is pretty easy. According to the KotS conversion notes, Winterhaven is on the Southwestern edge of the Icetop mountains in Northern Karrnath, and 200 miles from the Ironroot mountains. So, you can set Thunderspire in the Icetops, or teh Ironroots. Alternatively, you could drop it into the Mror Holds, which is next to Karrnath.

The only thing LACKING is any level of double-cross, less straight-forward story, etc.
