It brings me great pleasure to produce the first
installment of the True20 Conversion Guides for Paizo
Publishing’s Rise of the Runelords adventure path.
For fans of True20, this supplement is intended as a
companion to "Burnt Offerings", giving everything you
need to run the adventure using True20 rules. For
those not familiar with True20, it is a stripped down,
fast-play adventure game that finds its roots firmly
in the d20 system, but modified to provide a more
narrative experience. There’s a lot that’s familiar in
True20, but there’s much that’s different, and in this
humble writer’s opinion, improved.
This document provides all the mechanics
needed to run the adventure. Starting with a brief
conversion guide for skill checks, this enhancement
provides game statistics for Narrator Characters,
Creatures, Traps, and finally Supernatural Items.
Where needed, feats are included to make the
transition as seamless as possible.

These conversion guides are fantastic, as I love the True20 system for its simplicity, speed, and the fact that is doesn't rely on magic items to make effective characters (which I find to be the main crutch of D&D).
If you have not checked out Green Ronin's True20 RPG game, have a look, you may be pleasantly surprised.
So far so good! Only one minor error (maybe) I can find, and that is Tsuto Kaijitsu's unarmed strike damage should be +2, not +1, as he has the improved strike feat.
Found it interesting to see that you also stacked Erylium's adept and racial levels so that she could use the summoning powers.

Ditto. This conversion guide (and the others) is/are a godsend for the True20 gamer. You can port a lot, if not most d20 stuff to True20 with minimal difficulty, but it's always nice to have it done for you, and more importantly, done well. Great work. :)
Do you have to have the True20 manuals to understad the conversions, or are they self-explanatory?

They are fairly self-explanatory, apart from the toughness save replacing hit points and some creatures having a parry score as well as a defence score.
However, they are unzipped pdfs, they are free, and they are about a dozen pages long so download very quickly. Why not download one of them and see for yourself.
