tis a pitty

That's a shame

not on him, but on the people that would scold him, however I do get their point, the DCC modules are THE BEST around, that resource drying up makes me a little mad (granted I don't own that many of them, working on getting more) and even the dream job of mine sort of going away (I've always wanted to work for Goodman games more than any other company, but I don't play 4e so I really can't aid in creating material)

Either way, I would like to say this

Mr. Goodman, please produce 3.5 modules (3.g ogl) once more, perhaps not as many or as frequently as the 4e modules, but just once in awhile, for those people who still play 3.5 or transitioned to Pathfinder, we love them so much and seeing them leave like this is horrible, plus there is still money to be made for it :D

+1.

By the way, it's not that hard to adapt adventures to your game: i'm about to play Castle Amber, The Desert of Desolation and Tomb of Horrors in DCC RPG, it's not that hard to get what's important to keep and what you can change.

How are you converting the levels in DCC RPG with Tomb of Horrors and the other classics? Since DCC RPC only has 5 in the beta, and 10 in the upcoming rules, what level spread are you using for S1?

I want to keep that feeling that the funnel never really ends. So it's fine to pit the PCs agaisnt adventures thought for a party of 2 levels higher than theirs, at least. I forgot I think I will run something else first, like The Silver Princess module. Castle Amber seems a little too much for the PCs at level 1.

To convert adventures I simply take a look at monsters and change them a little bit. For example, in the Desert of Desolation Random Encounters table there is an entry : 1d8 bugbears. Now, bugbears are quite powerful in DCC, and I expect PCs to be at level 3 when they go or that adventure. I would probably change that entry to 1d8 hobgoblins.
In S1:tomb of horrors, I think that most of the traps are actually a challenge for the players' wits, so it really doesn't matter what level they are. I will for sure tune the monsters down: there is some 6-armed golem with over 100 HP; I think it will just have 10d8 HP, and less immunities.

For me, a weak monster is 1-2 HD, medium is 3-6 HD, Strong 7+ HD.

I don't know, if you can be more specific i can tell you how i'd convert a specific part of the adventure.

I think your reply was spot on. Thanks.

Somehow this seems like a reply to some post, although I'll be darned if I can figure out which one.

Anyway, I may be way off here but I have this feeling that I read somewhere that part of the 4E GSL agreement says that a publisher can no longer do anything for 3E. I think that this may have some impact on the fact that when Goodman Games switched to 4E they can't go back.

Maybe someone more versed in the GSL can verify this?

it was a typo that was suppose to be posted under DCC and Pathfinder.

not sure how it got its own thread....

I believe that was the deal -- you couldn't do both, as a publisher, you either had to choose to do one or the other (and if you switched to 4e, you had to stop selling any stock of your 3e stuff at a certain point, to boot!).

I think there were adjustments made to that as time went on -- maybe someone more versed in the GSL can verify this?

The GSL originally forbid publishers from posting materials for being in both 3.x and 4e. That was later amended.
