Just ran Gardens of Ynn, the classic depthcrawl adventure by Emmy Allen over the weekend.

I used the cheat sheet from the Eldritch Fields blog which has all of the tables you need to run the adventure.

It's great, but uses the page numbers from the original first edition of Ynn. I was using the newer, purple hardcover edition.

I made my own modified version with the newer page numbers:

Here's the original version from the Eldritch Fields blog:

I LOVE Ynn and the Stygian Library and I want to run them in Savage Worlds so badly...

...but I also worry I'd get some wonky result and just not know what to do with it, or just get stuck and stall the whole game, or not know how to tie any of the events together.

How was your experience along those lines?
