Has anyone ever converted a video game into an adventure? I've done it with BG 1 and 2 and now considering the same for Dragon Age 1. Which begs the question, anyone have any good ideas about how to incorporate the darkspawn into the Realms?

| underdark twisted zombies or some other underdark twisted undead |
why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

| I have been running a play by post modified BG2 Shadows of Amn for a couple of years now, it's been going well and the freedom of actual tabletop play helps expand on choices and my PCs have been surprising me, which is fantastic in a game that I have played maybe a dozen times or more. As for darkspawn, it depends on the system but there are loads of low to moderate CR underdark humanoids that could sub in nicely, andif you add templates into the mix there is a lot you can do. I'll see if I can coke up with any specific examples, though they will likely be pathfinder specific so if you aren't running 3.5e or Pathfinder examples would be of little use. |

| I've not converted games, but I have converted the characters I've played into Realms NPCs. One of the Lords of Waterdeep I wrote up was originally my character in Star Wars Galaxies, and another of my on-again, off-again projects has been to make an adventuring party out of several of my toons from Lord of the Rings Online. |

| I've sometimes used bits and pieces. I've recently been thinking of using Kuldahar from Icewind Dale myself. The lore on many of the weapons/armor from those games is a treasure trove of potential NPCs and events a DM can use. |

| Icewind Dale (more the original than II) has been a source of inspiration for my PnP games for what seems like forever. Kuldahar and the drow merchant Nym, especially. I remember spending half a day trying to find the exact spot in the Spine of the World to place the valley shown in the game's world map. |
