I really enjoy the conversions and plan to run them someday (especially Saga of the Witch Queen, which was a great adventure and great conversion). If you used the limited edition model, I'm sure you'd sell out of the print run...whether this would pay for the time and effort involved I'd have no clue.My suggestions for conversions would be #26 The Scaly God (probably my personal favorite); #28 Into the Wilds (nice beginning adventure that really deserves to be fleshed out more); #49 Palace in the Wastes....oh, and of course, if anyone wants to tackle Castle Whiterock itself...I'd be more than grateful....

Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Golden Auroch / Tower of the Black Pearl, a Gen Con exclusive featuring two 1E adventures in a "flip book" format.Dungeon Crawl Classics:The Golden Auroch / Tower of the Black PearlTwo Adventures For Level 1 CharactersThis Gen Con-exclusive "flip book" features The Golden Auroch on one side and Tower of the Black Pearl on the other! The Golden Auroch: Evil has always blown upon the hot winds of Sumer, but never has there been a land as oppressive and intent on discord than Ur. For decades the people of this city-state were held prisoner by their mage-queen, Nicrotis, and neighboring lands quivered whenever her armies marched. Central to Nicrotis' power, both at home and afar, was her possession of a holy statue called the Golden Auroch. In time, the gods took notice and intervened, reducing the entire city of Ur to dust in a fierce sandstorm that lasted forty years. Now, a century later, the city-state of Akkad is in the midst of a drought of unimaginable length and intensity. Not a single drop of rain has fallen for three years. The only hope for salvation lies in traveling to the cursed ruins of Ur, braving the Tomb of Nicrotis located below them, and returning with the Golden Auroch. Tower of the Black Pearl: Once every decade, the tides of the Empyrean Ocean recede far enough to reveal the highest eaves of a mysterious undersea tower. Long ago this was the eldritch fastness of a powerful mage, but now the tower is known simply as the final resting place of the fabled Black Pearl -- an artifact rumored to bring doom upon all who dare to posses it. Tonight the moon nearly fills the sky, and the tides have already begun to recede. The heroes have eight short hours to explore the tower before the dark waters return... This adventure module was designed exclusively for Gen Con 2008. It will be available in limited quantities following the convention from Noble Knight Games. Rules Set: 1E.

It's a nice little set, and the only thing I'm missing is the two new ones (already got #3.5 and #20.5 ) So I really hope they see sence and release them as PDFs.

islestrike wrote:Just to revive this thread a bit, and hopefully tacojohn is still reading. I'd like to see a nice 1E conversion of DCC#2 Lost Vault of Tsathzar Rho. I'm loving this adventure, particularly the whole undercurrent of the lost gods that runs throughout the module, and their eldritch corrupting influence. This is definite swords and sorcery stuff that would fit well in a 1E conversion, and is a fertile theme to extend the module further, providing new material in the conversion. For example the area to the north past 2-2 along the underground river could be expanded a bit in the conversion ...maybe the lost gods' influence continues through here after the events in the module proper. My other nominee for 1E converion would be DCC#14 Dungeon Interludes, just because there are a lot of nice adventure seeds and gems throughout this one, and a conversion of this would stand out from the previous ones - more of a 1E DM resource. PLUS the format of the book would allow you to put in some new content unique to the conversion! From my comments you can guess that what I like to see in a conversion and IMO what makes the conversion really worth it is seeing new material not present in the original. So looking forward to the next conversion special, whatever it is!Cheers!
