This is a broader concern than just Joey's guide, but to answer your question:

1) Use milestones for experience, and then the larger budget doesn't factor in as a problem.

2) If you refuse to use milestones, just switch to Medium XP track so you level slower.

3) Are your players experienced? They likely won't die, especially right off the bat. My party of entirely new players has still managed to get through the first 4 books using Joey's encounters and a lot of homebrew (also using the GM's Guide to Creating Challenging Encounters).

Also, for an update for folks:

I'm almost finished with Book 5's rebuilding. I've been making a lot of Book 4 homebrew, so it hasn't been a huge priority, but the Iron Cages of Lust and the Shimmering Veils of Pride are finished.

Any chance you would be able to share your updates? My party is about to be finishing book 4 with 5 players and these conversions have been a life saver so far.

To Joey Virtue, I hate to see that yo have stopped, but I completely understand. I have loved your work thus far and thank you for all the hard work you have prevented myself and countless GMs from having to trudge through.

Very late to the party, but it seems the links for the 6 player conversions do not work anymore. Anybody have working links for the 6 books?

I know the Anniversary hardcover is releasing anyday for 2e, but my players really prefer 1e. Any help?

As the title suggests, I'm trying to determine if Swarm Monger's are eligible for an improved familiar. For example, at level 5, I would want to look into changing to a Stirge familiar, which has its own swarm associated with it.

Is this feasible? The swarm monger archetype says the druid must choose from a list of fecund familiars, but doesn't really specify if you can improve it later. Any help is appreciated.
