If I can ever regather my posse, I plan on converting
the trilogy to d20 and giving it the old try. My
players are so used to unfair D&D, that I don't think
it should be too much of a problem getting them to go
along with it. Especially if they get to meet Stone
and walk away sans holes.

I would feel cheated being in this adventure, myself.
The setup is just too cool to ignore though.
