There is a really good 3E fleshing out of the sample dungeon in the AD&D DMG called Dungeon of the Fire Opal in Dungeon #84. That could keep them occupied and be quite challenging when converted depending on how you do it. If you like good AD&D adventures that weren't necessarily official then Dragonsfoot is a great resource. John Turcotte wrote several excellent adventures including Where the Fallen Jarls Sleep. Whatever you do, I'm sure it will make a great read!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295722892051701176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-53139801163695953212015-03-22T10:28:41.638-04:002015-03-22T10:28:41.638-04:00I see this one now, so much later.

I've never run it and I'd like to someday. Plus I'd like to see someone else's take on converting D&D modules to GURPS DF.<br /><br />In return, I'll post my GURPS conversion notes for the first 6 levels of Goodman Games' megadungeon Castle Whiterock if anyone wants them. (I've been planning to post them when I'm done converting the whole thing, but I've only converted 6 levels and 2 sub-levels so far.)driptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800295180326776163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-10522817705804194952015-03-05T14:02:46.225-05:002015-03-05T14:02:46.225-05:00In Search of the Trollslayer might be perfect.

The players can explore where they chose (though the castle on Bone Hill is the focal point). Even Restenford has a couple hidden danger spots. <br /><br />The only thing I'd do is tone down the amount of magic items through out. <br /><br />But since it isn't as popular as the other modules you listed, there's less of a chance your players having gone through it.

And I've read it. I'm not terribly impressed with it, yet I know a lot of people hold it up as an exemplary 1st edition module. It just seems kind of cluttered and messy, like T1 with a less-interesting moathouse. What's the attraction with L1?

Many of the others are too big - I don't want a secondary megadungeon to fit in. Besides, I'm certain one of my players played T1-4 (I DMed it for him). EX1, heh.
