Any 5th edition conversions for SCAP in the works?

[TyroAmberhelm]

My players and I have been playing a 5th edition campaign alongside our Shackled City campaign. We are growing to love 5th edition and growing increasingly more annoyed at the crunch of Pathfinder/3.5.

Has anyone started converting SCAP to 5th edition yet?
Any advice?

It's a year later, are you still asking this question?

The short answer is, "I want to."

Anyone done any part of this task? Can you share? In return I can give you my conversion parts as they happen.

I've been playing 5th edition the last year. From 2010 to 2010, I DMed a weekly 3.5 and Shackled City game. This storyline is so full I want to relive it. I'm going to start teaching some new players and thought I'd see what I could come up with.

Hi, I've been running a 5th edition Shackled City game. I have 5th edition conversions starting from Zenith Trajectory (chapter 4). There's a bit of a backstory there with a previous party starting Shackled City and then moving over to Savage Tide, so I started this group with some older modules and worked them back in to the adventure path in Chapter 4. Currently, the party has defeated the Cagewrights and stopped the planar rift and I've moved to a more sandbox-mode to let them clean up loose threads and decide how to proceed and when to finish.

Send me a message and I'll share what I have, and I've been meaning to put my conversions online anyway.

A straight conversion works surprisingly well, with the following guidelines:
1) Cut all monetary treasure in half and all magic items by at least 1/3, dropping any 'boring' items (mostly +1 suits and armor held by mooks)
2) Try to set up bosses and mooks to be encountered together, because the action economy is brutal to solo creatures
3) Keep an eye out for anything that changed drastically in CR and substitute in a similar monster
4) At a certain point, XP won't let the characters advance quickly enough so throw in more side adventures or just handwave levelling (which is what I did)

Also, I've been experimenting with minor legendary actions for some bosses with class levels. Otherwise, they can get curbstomped quickly.
