Has anyone use it in Greyhawk ?

I have the module but my PCs are to high level for it. Normally I would rework the encounters but they have such a long list of things to do already that I decided it would have to wait. I was impressed with it though from the several times I looked at it.

The map made it very difficult to incorporate into Greyhawk without having to redo it however. I don't know if you have already purchased it but geographically it was put in Sterich for the Living Greyhawk campaign. I found this snippet from the Living Greyhawk campaign website.

I love Red Hand of Doom. I judged it twice for two Living Greyhawk groups, taking about one hundred hours of play each. It overlays nicely on Sterich. The only big Greyhawk problems are the swamp and its elves and lizardfolk. I think the geography is the only real challenge to reconcile to the Flanaess.

If it could somehow be fit so that Bone March plays host to the Doom Horde, I think you'd have an even better situation. Have the Rakers replace the Wyrmsmoke Mountains, and you'd be set. Vraath Keep could be in the Flinty Hills, or maybe an outpost of Ratik, further east.

Lots of possibilities.

I reversed the map and with some other minor refits placed it in the E valley corner of Tenh, with Calbut being the initial town and High Hadleigh fitting in as Brindol.
