Conversions


Greetings all!

Newer to the Pathfinder world and very much eager to begin to play within it. I fell in love with Forgotten Realms and during my passion of Toril, I too fell in love with demons, devils and what not, asking myself "How can they be good?"

Well, back in the day over on Candlekeep and their most excellent forums of players and writers of the novels alike, I crafted and melded and weaved and heaved all that I could into something special. Special enough that the wise Sage and others felt that it should go into their Compendium - and thusly it did. Enter 4.0, exit my stay.

Flash foward to now, and seeing that I am newer to Pathfinder (Golarion), I am not entirely sure how to convert (or I would take this whole thing up myself and post for all delight) - has anyone converted anything out of Fiend Folio, Book of Exalted Deeds and Book of Vile Darkness? These (at the time) where my major sources, along with the Toril Twist (if you will) when I came up with some of my NPC stories, life and times, etc. It was great and many people loved it - but I never got the chance to place them into the world it self (on the table that is.) and watch them come to life.

Further aware, I know that Pathfinder has yet come out with anything that I mentioned above and have a very select handful of novels. So I resort to the above once again, but hoping to make it anew :)

If you have done this, or know of anyone who has, would you post them? How would you adjust some of the monsters, spells, etc. found in these tomes? What difficulties did you (or your source) come across? Benefits and advantages?

Edit: Made changes to grammar (shame on me.) and added additional information/history for no reason.


I have the same problem, i simply can not let go much of 3.5.

There is too much to convert, I just convert what I will need a couple of days before I will use it.

I'm thinking that it isn't to much, but instead needs to be viewed as a project, an undertaking to get it all completed and mastered :)
