I'm planning to convert the Stolen Land to Savage Worlds.. Nuts? Maybe! It seems as though it will work quite well, given the nature of Savage Worlds advancement and combat.

Our group loves Savage Worlds. Honestly, we had no desire to go back to D&D/Pathfinder until the Kingmaker AP showed up. It has us really hyped...but...

If somehow you could convert to SW, that would be a double-hit of gaming love for our group.

heh, when I saw the title, I thought to myself... The Goblin King Wants YOU! Running the Kingmaker with Goblin/Hobgoblin/Bugbear characters trying to take over the Stolen Lands for Goblinkind.

Just ran through my mind, is all :)

That's what I was thinking too, Reckless.

This sounds like a great idea Reckless. A quick question from a guy who has not played Pathfinder:

Is it easier to create monsterous PCs in Pathfinder then it was in D&D3.5 ? (I.e., we thought the ECLs in 3.5 were flawed).

Zurai Mar 17, 2010, 01:05 PM

Monster PCs are officially unsupported by Pathfinder. There ARE guidelines in the Bestiary for using them, but they're very much a caveat emptor type thing.

I'm contemplating blogging about my conversions.

I'd follow that blog. Maybe I could even help with the conversion. Please list the site.

Have started my first attempt at converting an NPC, based on a S
avage Worlds/d20 Conversion doc I found (which to be honest I then pretty much ignored) and comparing to various humans in the Fantasy Companion. Here she is, the Lady of Limb Removal... Kressle!

Kressle

Spoiler:

Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d6, Spirit d6, Strength d8, Vigor d8
Skills: Fighting d8 Guts d6, Intimidation d6, Notice d8, Throwing d8 Tracking d6, Survival d6, Stealth d6
Hindrances: Greedy, Loyal, Vengeful (Major)
Edges: Ambidextrous, Dodge, Two-Fisted, Woodsman
Pace: 6
Parry: 6
Charisma: 0
Toughness: 8
Gear: Axes (2), Daggers (4), Reinforced Leather, 85gp

I am not using the Savage Worlds equipment prices, as a note.

I don't have the adventure yet. Can you post Lady of Limb Removal's Pathfinder stats so I can compare to the original?

Fabes DM Mar 19, 2010, 02:02 PM

I don't think the team would be happy with her stat block copied wholesale, but suffice it to say she is a level 2 Ranger bandit leader.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I want to try to sell it to my players.

This site has some great info for converting Pathfinder to Savage Worlds:

Bugbears might be a little much, but I think that if you played goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, and orcs, you could probably run a fun KM AP.

I've started a blog for my conversion efforts:
