A couple of years ago a good friend of mine passed away. He was one of the few people I knew personally that had been gaming longer than I had, and had subsiquently collected quite a number of gaming supliments/miniatures/sourse books/dice/whathaveyou. His family decided that everything should be sorted and given out to all of his gaming friends, an event that was very very akward, but ultimately ended well (as well as such things can go). Being one of the only people to play RPGs that showed up (most of the group were direhard warhammer fans) I wound up with the lions share of his D&D stuff.
Much of it was boxed up and thrown into storage, as I had no one to game with (other than warhammer) and not enough free time to shoehorn the group into learning to play...Things have hence changed somewhat, and I'm going through all my old D&D crap. While searching through the books from my fallen companion I came across the old Firestorm Peak adventure. Cracked me up quite a bit, as most of the supliments I'd gotten from him were things I'd seen when I was younger, and weren't interested. Here we had a module that I myself had bought, and still had.
Lately I've been looking into the Ptolus setting (spefically placing it into the Pathfinder campaign) and trying to find insperation for the chaos god (can't remember how to spell their true name, and no where near my books at the moment). Going over firestorm for nastalgias sake, I read about the conections to far realm, and a little lightbulb went off in my head.
My first issue with converting it over (it will be into the Pathfinder rule set, with very very little housrules) are the monsters. I'll try to get a list up of the monsters out of the adventure that I don't recall seeing 3.? stats on, and hopefully people here can point me to sources I missed.
After that it's going to be deciding on a level range. The final boss fight at the end of the book has a large number of goons to go along with a tenth level wizard and sixth level wizard...Where the first couple encounters are dealing with 3hd deep dwarves. This is going to take a lot of "figuring".
Just wanted to get the ball rolling, and post up the very basics of my idea. I'll try to get more posted here tonight, but likely it'll be tomarow before I can get to a computer again.
