In the process of converting Scales of War. I’ll be starting my campaign from Garaitha’s Anvil – the 12th adventure in the series – skipping most of the build-up adventures as I have characters who are coming of Tomb of Annihilation and are level 14.
Ω Edit: Decision by my group to do a gothic horror campaign so will not be using these creatures… yet (I’m sure I’ll find a use for these guys). Other conversions will be incoming pending the kickoff of my Bloodborne/Steam Punk inspired campaign later this year.
