Thanks for the link. He's set it beginning around Level 3 where I'd prefer starting right at 1st level, but apart from that it's perfect :D @kaeosdad Oh that’s excellent! Thanks for the link.

I like the way you set up the encounter zones highlighted in red. Gives me a few ideas... this reminds me, this one guy converted keep on the borderlands awhile back and it can be d/l here: http://www.dndcorner.com/downloadable-files/ But his conversion is a more straightforward updating of stats. I like this 4e style redesign.

Actually, for a long time, it was my only adventure module, so I built a whole campaign around it. Kobold factions (some of them were agitating for political recognition from the humans) and everything. The set it came with sure didn't have rules for anything but combat or basic exploration, but that didn't stop us from throwing in politics, trade, intrigue, or anything else that we were interested in. Kids today and their music, and so forth. .-= Alexandra Erin´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.grownupgametable.com/2009/08/strange-criticism-of-the-moment/" rel="nofollow">Strange criticism of the moment…</a> =-.

One thing I might change is the width of the entry corridor to 5' wide. This will allow 2 kobolds to stand side by side but only 1 medium sized creature. I would also move the location of the pit to just outside the entryway with enough room for a small creature to casually stroll around, yet still in a position to trap a charging adventurer.
