I'm in the process of converting two of Paizo's adventure paths (Skulls and Shackles and Carrion Crown, specifically) to 4E D&D.
My group recently ended playing Legacy of Fire (which everyone loved) but while the general consensus is that Paizo's APs are our favoured option when it comes to published adventures (literally nothing comes close, quality-wise) we felt a bit burnt out of the system itself and some of it perks.
We're having a lot of fun with 4E recently and so we decided to try and run some of the APs we still miss with it. Another DM in our group is running Kingmaker with 5E (but I feel he's discovering it may not be worthy to convert there, since 5E feels like it has most of Pathfinder's problems while also having a tiny fraction of the good, crunchy stuff).
So basically the question here is: how does Paizo see these conversions? Because I'd like to discuss the stages I'm going through while converting the adventures, ask for feedback and eventually even share the conversion guide in PDF form, and this feels like the best place to do so, but I don't want to start something the authors of the game (and the APs) aren't keen on seeing on their forums.
Thanks in advance!
At first i read other systems and thought this was going to be interesting, then i read 4E and lost all interest.
Pretty much as soon as I get my download link for the latest AP book, I'm considering how well it would convert to other systems, specifically Savage Worlds, Barebones Fantasy or FATE. Like yourself, my enthusiam for the Pathfinder system has faded but my love for the great adventures Paizo produce is strong. :D
Take a look at the forums for Shackled City, Age of Worms and Savage Tide. A lot of people have posted conversion notes/guides from older editions to Pathfinder. I cannot imagine there would be a problem posting conversion notes to another system.
Good luck with your conversion. :D
Good luck with your conversion. :D
Thanks ^_^
Paizo does not mind you talking about other systems so you are safe in that regard. You just have to find posters that are playing the system you are converting to if you want any advice.
