Hi there! So i have a question regarding converting stuff to D&D 5e! Specifically Adventure Paths. Now what I want to do is make an unnoficial conversion guide for Rise of the Runelords to D&D 5e.
Now this guide will only have converted stat blocks, converted Skill Checks/ DC's, converted Magic items, and converted traps/dangers. It won't have any pictures, maps, any story elements/spoilers of any kind, or NPC stories or backgrounds/motivations from the Adventure Path. You would still need the actual Adventure path in tandem with this 5e conversion guide.
Now can something like this be published and put for sale on Drivethrurpg, or can something like this only be made for free?

Theres conversions to 2e on Pfnexus for example; Crimson throne, although you still need to buy the ap to run it. Was thinking of picking it up but Im guessing its most of the skill checks, unique creatures, and magic items as you mentioned.
That is awesome that they do that for PF 2e, but I'm asking for converting something and making a guide for D&D 5e. But seriously that is awesome they have that for Adventure Paths from 1e on the PFNexus. Gives 2e players and GMs the chance to experience the old Adventure paths xD and i have yet to play or run Crimson Throne. I got lucky finding a hardback copy recently and i wanna run it for 5e xD

The key point is that you need to find a license for using the D&D 5e rules and one for using the Paizo IP, and hopefully find a way to use them in a way that is compatible with both. I am definitely not expert enough on any of the possible licenses to offer any useful advice.

What you are describing sounds like it won’t contain any Paizo property and will have nothing to to do with our licenses or policies.
