Just what the title says. Has there been a conversion of the old 2nd Edition adventure Dragon Mountain to 3.5? If so, where can I find it?

I grew up on this adventure (it took us over a year to finish it, but it was SO worth it), and I'd love to DM it one day. However, I would need an updated version (since I don't play 2e anymore, no groups around, also no PHB in my collection).

Thanks.

No one has any updates? Fair enough. Guess I'll have to do one myself.

A few days ago there was a guy about who was doing his own conversion and was looking for the original maps from Dragon Mountain. I'll have to go find it, but I know there was definitely a guy doing one.

Also, I know there are a few older people here, but you might also want to try some of the forums that are devoted to older games rather than 3.x/4E, which are the main ones here, to see if anyone else can help. The folks at Dragonsfoot (http://www.dragonsfoot.org/), for instance, might be able to help out more.

EDIT: Ha, Google is my friend. Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4880510)'s the thread where Doskious talked about doing a conversion of Dragon Mountain. Seems Dragonsfoot was able to help him out, too.

I probably wouldn't ask at Dragonsfoot; the other way round 3e -> 2e, sure, but not 2e -> 3e. :smallbiggrin:

I have a pdf conversion of ToEE from 2e to 3e, and I am sure there were more conversions wherever I got it from. Maybe EnWorld? Hmm, here's a thread that discusses some of the conversion difficulties: Converting Dragon Mountain (http://www.enworld.org/forum/conversions/741-dragon-mountain.html).

Yeah... Dragonsfoot wouldn't do me a whole lotta good, going from old to new (I checked it out already).

EnWorld maybe.

Yeah, you might be right. I don't know anything about Dragonsfoot as far as tolerance for us newbies, but it's the only forum I could remember that focuses on older editions.

Here's a guy who claims to have converted it, you can possibly contact him: Dragon Mountain PBEM (http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/pbm_list/descriptions/1200788926.10885.html).

Wow, that's pretty sweet. Well, I sent him a mail about it. If he contacts me, then EXCELLENT. If not, *shrug* I'll do it myself (as much work as that is... :'( ).

Excellent. Let us know how that turns out.

I cannot for the life of me remember where I got the ToEE conversion from (and I don't seem to have it anymore either, but I remember it was rather good. EnWorld was a dead end, but I think that may be due to the site upgrade. Could have been RPGHost or RPGArchive, or really a lot of places...

The email bounced back, saying I have to be a member of that Yahoo group to email him. *sigh*
