Has anyone attempted to convert some of the old 2nd edition to 3.5? I just picked up a bunch of some of my favorite old 2nd edition adventure PDFs and was thinking of converting them. Has anyone attempted this or know of some resources that can help me in this?

You can also check out the Wizards of the Coast website. Around Halloween the posted an updated-to-3.5 version of Tomb of Horrors. Today they have done the same for White Plume Mountain (see my thread of the same name).

I knew about Tomb of Horrors did not know about White Plume Mountain. I will have to wait to go home to check that out.. The network here blocks the wizards webpage. Thanks. Now they just need to update some more.

They just put it up either yesterday evening or very early this morning. I would offer to email it to you, but even the zip file is about 10 megs and my email can't send anything that big.


Thanks for notifying us, Aberzombie. The Page has todays date on it, so its a wee bit late for a Santa Claus gift :-) (if you know of that tradition, it is probably not universal)

It can wait until I go home in a few minutes.

I have TONS of ancient D&D books, modules and other materials, spanning from the very first edition to now. When I decide to use one of those older adventures, I just use it as is and keep my 3.5 Monter Manuals nearby when an encounter comes up. Of course, there's always the little problem of main NPCs with class levels, which you could redo from scratch, but even then I use the pre-rolled examples of NPCs (with very slight modifications) given in the DM's Guide. Ok, it surely isn't the BEST way to play, but it beats redoing the entire module before the gaming session.

If you can find already converted classic adventures on the net, well use those of course.
