Greetings all. I'd like to share my most recent undertaking - a 4e conversion of the zany Eureka!, an adventure from both 1st and 2nd edition. You can also download it and some additional resources for free at https://perilousrealm.itch.io/eureka and I hope you enjoy it.
[- Complete NPC and monster descriptions, with illustrations for major NPCs.
- Full maps of the townhouse that is the focus of the scenario.
- 4e Conversion of Eureka
- VTT files for Foundry (work in progress).
I discover (and am very surprised) from the introduction that "inflammable" means "not flammable" in English (at the exact opposite of its French and Latin meaning from which the word was borrowed: in-["on"] -flamm-["fire"] -able["able to be"] = "able to be on fire").
A quite dangerous deceptive cognate for English speakers travelling in (some, at last) foreign lands, I fear!
Beyond this side (and unrelated) remark, thank you Skerrigan for your work.
Veniam, Duelli Malleum, phantasticum ludum personae uidebo, in fera terra periculosorum aduenturorum ludebam.

In standard English "inflammable" means the same as "flammable".

I always think of it as "flammable" means something can be set on fire, "inflammable" means it can go up in flames".
I didn't mean to push you with my question. I imagine it's really a lot of work for you to do all the editing. Again thanks for your effort, which definitely is worth the suggested 2£ of appreciation.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for this conversion, it is absolutely top-notch, and the same goes for your earlier work with the 3rd edition conversions. The artwork is also amazing!
If you're ever doing an updated verison of Eureka, you might want to add the Heal skill to Kugelschreiber's profile, since he is described in the adventure (p6, The Morning After) as being an excellent physician.

Hi! The link for Eureka! seems broken. Could you reupload it?
