Hi,
Has anyone converted this famous adventurer's trap for 3.x ?

I never understood why they published so much **** at TSR, while ignoring (and editing/shortening) a LOT of Ed's marvelous original notes and books. The fate of TSR might have been different, for it is very hard to believe that Ed's stuff wouldn't have sold more than what they chose to publish. *SIGH*
I am a devoted Cormyte in my heart, and I still cannot forgive them for not publishing Ed's 'Haunted Halls of Eveningstar'-module the way he meant it to be!    |

They left the dancing undead in, though. You haven't lived until you've slow danced with a hip-grinding skeleton. 
love,

A little story to my dming experiences in the Blue alley including the zombies:
the groups mage did not even let them take the first swing blasting them to peaces with fireballs. Such a shame, really. Instead of sitting back and enjoying the show.......... tststs |

Care to share any more of the Blue Alley bits that were left out, my Lady?  |

Umm....that was a visual image I didn't need.
However, we're grateful as always for the first hand accounts of Ed's original Realms, THO. Thanks. |

Trying to convert it to 3E Dungeon style...
Why every damn 2E adventure included a Mirror of Oposition !?
Hmm Symbol of Insanity and Mage's Disjunction... that's harsh when the average EL is 6.

I did run it - but from old scrap converting it 'on the fly' so to speak. I have no notes or conversions at the ready and at the moment no time to go through them again. Sorry.
However, you can find the entire adventurer's trap detailed in the City of Splendors box set, Appendix 3 (page 112). Other than that it is only mentioned in SoC:W on page 115.
Running it was much fun indeed and as such a convertion a great idea. How about making it a very late WE to the sourcebook or as part of Elminsters Realmslore section??? |

Of course 
I was more asking if anyone has converted it for his/her campaign. |
