Transplanting to Innistrad and 5e

[Tayse]

A couple years ago I decided I was gonna run Carrion Crown for my group of friends, but working 2 jobs and adding a baby to my family kinda forced me into exile from them. During my time away from playing my group has abandoned the 3x/PF rules and have moved onto 5e.
I still want to run CC with carrion hill and the 3rd party plugins but my group doesn't want to go back to the old rules.

Would it be worth my effort to convert the AP to 5e?

Does anyone think The Story could work in MtG planes shift setting of Innistrad?

Ultimately, you are the only one who can answer that question. I guess what you need to ask yourself is: do you think the AP with its inherent flaws is worth putting more work into? I think the kind of group you have will greatly influence your answer: are they cool with an AP that is 6 somewhat disjointed adventures that becomes a whistle-stop tour of the horror genre? If yes, then it is well worth it. If no, not so much.

I'm not overly familiar with that particular setting, but it looks like it could work. You may have to dial back the prominence of the undead in the setting a bit. Ustalav is more like Transylvania and less like a zombie/undead feeding ground. But that isn't a big shift.

Thanks for the feedback

I'm a huge fan of the concept of the carrion crown adventure path. (I've never actually played it).

I've kinda become obsessed with the idea of doing carrion crown on Innistrad, so if I can find the time I know I'll update from PF to 5e. That'll be the easier job.

I think the setting change might be too difficult for me to handle alone though :(

5e has out the Curse of Strahd (horror theme) hardback adventure book. You might check that out rather than converting CC. I have gone through the process of converting an AP to 5e (Giantslayer) and it's quite a large task. Our group played through Carrion Crown using Pathfinder and found it to be a good adventure overall. So good luck to you whatever you decide to do.

It was the Curse of Strahd adventure and the Planes Shift: Innistrad PDF that made me want to cover Carrion Crown to 5e.

I'm kinda trying to force my own little campaign world out of content given to me...

I had been working on a plan to run 4 campaigns through Ustalav, carrion crown with plugins, the society scenarios laced together with other adventure hooks, my own thing, and then finally tying all of them together for a final levels 17-20 blitz on the whispering tyrant
But as I said early 2 jobs and baby kinda put a hold on things and in my absence my play group has moved onto to 5e and they don't want to go back :( lol so I've got to update my ideas
