[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7484340, member: 5100"] I'd love it, if this is the case. I'd say I'm whatever the the opposite of "cautiously optimistic" is ("hopefully pessimistic?"), though. I think you could take a generic big city adventure and run it in Waterdeep, Sharn, or Greyhawk City, with reasonable effort. Bringing in specific players (NPCs) and getting into details doesn't always lend itself to clean conversion. If a significant portion of [U]Dragon Heist[/U] is Waterdeep setting material and/or they're pulling in marquee factions or NPCs (the Xanathar, Lord's Council, etc.) then the stats and deeper motivations require a lot more effort to replace and you have to do the double effort of first making things generic, then adding the flavor from the other setting. But, with WFGtE and Ravnica being released, this year, maybe they will offer up real conversion guides. If so, I'll happily change my tune. [/QUOTE]
