That's why I need conversion notes. I can't come up with this myself!!! It's too hard.


Might actualy work if you place it on some islands in the silt sea. I don't think there were too many towns of Sasserines size near the coast, but if your just starting the campaign you could always add in another city state.

The Isle of Dread could be some long lost island "off the map" in the sea of silt, possibly still with vegitation on it. The problem you'll run into is the same problem converting it to Eberron has, cosmology.

Holy crap. This is a GREAT idea! Go for it, Heath- I'll be looking forward to your posts!

Aw, hell. I was just jokin'.


Well I liked Fraust's silt sea idea. It would actually work in a really off-the-original-mark sort of way.

Yeah, that Silt Sea thing has potential. Hmm...
Man, I'd have to have more of the adventures in-hand before I started doing it up. I guess Demogorgon could be a unique Dragon King that was created by the joining of two mages performing the creation ritual, but to see where the thing was going I'd need to see all the extra-planar stuff up ahead.
I assume I'd have to make the whole thing happen on actual Athas, or there'd be a lot of confusion...
I also don't have the rules at hand, except the Dragons and Dungeons that featured that stuff.

That's a great idea, Mistah. Great idea.

Hmm... well then there's that. :\


the pearls are just hypercharged obsidian orbs.. and the ultimate spell would slay all other life on athas, extinguish th sun and make "demogorgon" into a dragon that dragons even Borys ;)

One final, ultimate spell that defiles all...

We're waiting for Brom to finish doing the cover art and the half-dozen head shots and body shots before we post this one. It should be ready by the time 8th Edition is out. Maybe edition 8.5.


THE SAVAGE SILT ADVENTURE PATH!

Cut to: confused pirates coughing in a sandstorm.

"Arr. Where the @#$* are we?!"

I lol'd.


Interesting. Not a huge Dark Sun fan, but honestly, the challenge intrigues me.

Let's see- the Silt Sea thing works. Sasserine could be a city on the coastlands of the Great Salt Flat.

(Of course, now that I'm looking into things a bit, the city of Balic might be a good location for Sasserine.)

Another option might be to put it in the Deadlands south of Tyr.


Set it in the Last Sea and replace Demogorgon with one of the Mind Lords who is in a state of psychic collapse. Plus it gives you an excuse to use the squark, which is always good. (Cue comments about druids and surfboards...)

Actually, I think the silt sea approach would be great. If you play in the Age of Heroes, Demogorgon could be replaced with a horrifically melded version of Tithian and Rajaat deep within the Cerulean Storm.

Of course, now I want to convert SCAP and AoWAP to DS as well so that there can be continuity between the three. I hate threads like this... ;-)

Yeah... what starts out as a joke all the sudden has everyone's engines revving. I'd love to see this thing get converted, if only to appreciate the ingenuity and cleverness such a project would demand. It's like wanting to taste a sweet lemon or pet a catdog or sumpin'.


I've got my hands pseudo-full with Spelljammer- does anyone want to give this a shot?


I'm still waiting for the Book of Erotic Fantasy version of the adventure path.

Too bad Henry Miller's not around. Is the Isle of Dread in the Tropic of Cancer?

You mean noone's interested at all? I can't believe it!
