While I'm not ready to start the campaign yet (waiting a few more months for lead time), I'm planning on setting Age of Worms in the Scarred Lands. Has anyone else thought about this? I'm interested in seeing what other DM's have done.
Here are my ideas:
The Ebon Triad is composed of cultists of Chardun, Belsameth, and Vangal who are trying to combine the 3 of them into an over-god of evil. Seems pretty straightforward.
Kyuss will become Gormoth the Twisted. His Slarcian worm infection seems a perfect fit. He is using the Age of Worms as a plot to come back to life. (The Titans can never really die.) Perhaps the Worm Chasm hinted in the "Overloaded" supplement will be the same chasm where the two halves of Gormoth reside, but we'll have to see what the Dungeon folks do with the future episodes.
The Free City of Greyhawk will be the Free City of Fangfall, and the Cairn Hills will be the hills just to the north of Fangfall. The Swamps of Kan Thet are also right there for the Lizardman episode (I haven't yet received #126).
Not sure of the rest, but that covers the main points...

I like it.

What about the region around Mullis Town and Vesh? Should be lots of small mining towns around Mullis Town. That's where our DM is running our current campaign, and flavor-wise it seems to fit, at least the way he's running it.

I've been running a campaign based in that area of the Scarred Lands for the last 3 years. If/when I start a new campaign, it's not going to be anywhere near Vesh!
That being said, Mullis Town is probably a bit small. Lave would be a good fit, with both mountains and swamps nearby. Hedrad might also work.
For the uninitiated, do you mind explaining the "Scarred Lands"?

Campaign setting put out by Sword & Sorcery. Pretty interesting world and history. As a DM I would prefer Greyhawk or FR, but I would run Scarred Lands before I ran Eberron. Has been interesting to play in so far too, especially if the DM uses the background and history (as ours does).

I just got #126 and read through BlackWall Keep. It looks like great fun! I can't wait to run these adventures. Anyway I had some more conversion thoughts:
Replace the Lizardmen with Aasathi. There's like a zillion Aasathi running around the Swamps of Kan Thet. I'll probably just keep the same stats instead of actually converting them.
Instead of having a black dragon running things, I'll make him a SeaWrack Dragon since Scarn has so few natural dragons. The only problem I forsee is that Wrack Dragons are constructs and can't lay eggs. The Aasathi don't know that, and unless the players have Knowledge (Dragons) they might not either!
Hi There,
I am acutally brand new to the boards. I am starting the adventure path and will be running it in the Scarred Lands. I am planning to run it on the continenet of Termana, as my current group has gamed in Ghelspad for some time and are looking for a change. I am thinking of placing Cauldron in the Titansforge Mountains.
I'm glad to see others are running the adventure path in Scarred Lands as well. Has anyone converted the dieties yet?
