Red Hand of Doom

Has anyone done a conversion of RHoD? I figure it might make an interesting conversion with Kingmaker?

I've been thinking about this for a while...

Spoiler:

...as frankly I expect my players to tire of the kingdom building and fey-fey-fey aspects of Kingmaker, and I've always wanted to run Red Hand of Doom. Thinking about just using some of the Kingmaker stuff to establish the scene and take up the first few levels, but then switching to Red Hand of Doom. Instead of Tiamat, I thought I 'd have Choral the Conqueror and his red dragons be the BBEG, although that wouldn't be apparent until much later.

The two would fit well IMO, and it gives most impetus to the players when it's their own towns being attacked.

I ran the Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale adventure as the beginning of a campaign with red hand of doom. The pc's were from korvosa, and I gave them land grants in the vale and had them clear it out, so each of the four characters ended up with a keep and part of the vale to guard. Then I gave them som in game time off, with a few adventures to settle in. Then I dropped the red hand of doom on them. I swapped out lamashtu for Tiamat, because of the hobgoblins and monsters. For all of the dragons, I swapped out similar creatures.

I just ran across this thread looking for a Red Hand of Doom conversion. Haven't checked it out yet, but there's a link here to a full conversion.

@tumbler
I'm in the midst of transitioning my Legacy of Fire campaign into Red Hand of Doom using gnolls and Rovagug instead of Tiamat. I'd be interested to hear how you adapted it.

Here's the thread I started for the campaign with the Red Hand of Doom ideas.
