[Paid] Need Help Converting from d20/3.5 to Pathfinder

I need someone who is an ace with Pathfinder (as an unified system, not just that knows PFRPG based on their 3.5 experience) to help me convert 5 products. Some will be as easy as changing a few references here and there, but others may require a whole rethinking due to changes in the way Pathfinder handles something vis-a-vis how d20 used to.

This is a paid gig: $50 for the batch, plus copies of all the products when released for Pathfinder (and honestly, if there’s something else from my catalog that you’d like, I’d be happy to throw it in as well).

Let me stress this again: I need an ace in Pathfinder. I want these products to work with Pathfinder because they were rebuilt with it in mind, not just because they are 3.5 and thus compatible.

If you are interested, reply to this thread and tell me a bit about why you’d be awesome for this gig.

Thoughts on Pathfinder

David Miller of Purple Pawn posted a news story announcing the release of the Pathfinder edition of The Dream Healers. He also sent me two questions to answer, in order to add a more personal touch to the story rather than it being only a new release notification. In my typical fashion, I wrote a lot, and only a bit from that was used in the Purple Pawn post (thankfully). However, the questions addressed some interesting issues regarding the Liber Sodalitas line and the Pathfinder RPG, including why I chose to produce material for it.

Below are the unedited answers to David’s questions; feel free to leave a comment if you’d like to discuss anything further.

• What is your goal with the Liber Sodalitas series?

The Liber Sodalitas products were originally released for the d20 System over the past few years. I’ve chosen to updated them to the Pathfinder RPG rules for two reasons:

1- Pathfinder represents the new face of the 3.5 fantasy RPG rules system. Frankly, the unofficial name of 3.75 carries a lot of truth to it. Pathfinder sleeks out the rules in line with developments seen in both official and 3rd-party releases over this decade, breathing new life to that system. I don’t think 3.5 fantasy, as a whole, was broken, but it certainly had a few spots that needed major work and a general revision was overdue. When you looked at the 3.5 SRD and what was coming out of the home office in Renton, WA, sometimes you had to ask yourself, is this the same game we’re playing? Pathfinder levels the field, and being released through the OGL, it guarantees that any evolution that may come can be incorporated into any game product without a problem.

And to be clear, at least to me this has nothing to do with 3.5/3.75e vs. 4e. The rules systems were created to deliver very specific and different play experiences, and each does what it’s supposed to do well. It’s a matter of taste, not an absolute.

2- Updating to Pathfinder makes perfect business sense. Fans of the type of game experience 3.5 fantasy delivered now have a new banner under which to rally and that is an exciting development in our opinion. We want to be a part of this new surge, and a quick entry into that wave was the updating of our existing material. We’re actually updating so that the product matches the rules in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, even if the game is backwards compatible with 3.5 fantasy. In some cases, the 3.5 and the Pathfinder version will differ more than just a bit, so it won’t be like you’re buying the same product twice. I can’t say we’ll update all of our previous releases, but all the existing Liber Sodalitas releases will get the treatment. We’ll also release new, original material specifically for Pathfinder a bit down the road (I can say we have at least one new Liber Sodalitas in the works as well as an adventure).

Liber Sodalitas: The Dream Healers (Pathfinder edition) now available

Highmoon Games presents Liber Sodalitas: The Dream Healers.

Though often seen as a priestly order, the dream healers follow no set god. For them, the power of healing lies within the patient and their dreams. Able to enter another’s dreams, they guide their patients through past events, allowing them to relive them and heal many wounds that other healers cannot touch. The journey is not without risk, for the world within a dream becomes a new reality, and death there comes just as easily as in the waking world.

The Dream Healers is a 10-page ebook detailing a drop-in organization for your Pathfinder game, complete with history, tenets, organizational structures, ways of joining, and ready-to-use NPCs. It also includes the dream healer prestige class and two new magical items.
