I'm running this module now on a PBP on Paizo's forums set in Greyhawk. I acquired the module in electronic form last year (which is why I'm running it). I'd like to run it in the Realms some time.
Any advice on where to set it? I'd like to set it in the South of Faerun. Some place where the winters are softer. I don't want to set it in the Mere of Dead Men.

| How about Chult? The Reptile God is perhaps an alias of Sseth. |

| Yeah, the Mhair and Black Jungles on the Chultan peninsula are rife with snake folk. |
Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City would work perfectly in Chult. It's set in a jungle area (originally Hepmonaland in the World of Greyhawk). I1 introduced the yuan-ti. Yeah, I also have the Vilhon Reach accessory for 2e and Serpent Kingdoms for 3e, so I'm aware that Hlondeth is a stronghold for the Yuan-ti, but the Jungles of Chult could have a number of them.
Perhaps I can string both together. Orlane could be a Chondathian outpost in Chult. (I also have the Jungles of Chult FR sourcebook). Other than the pterra-men (pterrafolk) of Chult, it's possible to put a stronghold of Yuan-ti (the forbidden city) in Chult. Chult's big enough (FR is plenty big). Just need to brainstorm an adventure that will take the players from 3rd level to 5th level, so that they could be ready to brave the Forbidden City. |

| So, Tomb of Annihilation is basically a composite of Dwellers of the Forbidden City and Tomb of Horrors. I'd set Cult of the Reptile God in the Mhair Jungle just to spread it out a bit. |
I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one. |

| Are you running this in 3.x (assuming PF1e because Paizo boards)? I am about to run this in 3.5 and am curious if you've started any conversion work and what issues yuo may have seen. |

Sorry about getting to this late, but . . . I have a conversion document ready. I got it from a fellow DM. |

What are you doing about the Naga the end? In 3.x their charm is not permanent as it is in 1e, which is kind of the whole point of the Naga in the module. Further, they are CR9, investable by low level characters. Will you have the old wizard step in to take it out? |

Maybe. Sounds like Deus Ex Machina, though.

It is, but it’s what the module expects as written unfortunately. |
