Firstly I want to say that I am enjoying the conversions. I have downloaded them all a last year. I am trying to download the latest versions but adobe acrobat reader is crashing. I have tried to use chrome, firefox and ie. None have worked.
I was able to download H1 and the maps but the others I've tried H2, P1, Monster index have all crashed. They start downloading but then stall.
Any suggestions? Can you put them into a Dropbox shared folder? 

Happy that you like them. The server stands in Sweden so depending on where you are in the world and your internet access, downloading them may take some time. If you try left-clicking them to open them directly in Adobe you are probably going to experience problem. Right-clicking and selecting "save target as..." is usually better as it gives you control over how the dowload is progressing.
If you still have problem, let me know.

I plan to have Nightbringer (the evil intelligent longsword from P2) play a role in the destruction of the Soul Well. As Urishtar becomes more damaged the Soul Well will begin to expand out of her control, and with her death be completely unleashed. Nightbringer consumes the raging soul energy and immediately goes giant-primordial-cat-monster form, becoming a recurring villain for the majority of the Epic tier.

I've been looking over E1-3 for good places to substitute him in, and tweak the fights to allow his escape until the final confrontation. I want to put him somewhere in Death's Reach, with the idea that he's also seeking Timesus, to consume the nascent Primordial and regain even more of his lost power. Having him assaulting Doresain's palace at the same time as the party and appearing during encounter W4 would work (he wouldn't be the Death Knight's sword, he'd just reach the encounter when the undead becomes bloodied). I'm not sure where to use him in E3, but during the assault on the Abyssal Nadir would make sense, either racing the party to the bottom where he attempts to consume Timesus, or appearing partway through the fight, consuming Timesus, and becoming the actual boss of the Nadir (some kind of Timesus/Nightbringer hybrid).

Any of you folk have ideas or input on any of this? I'm specifically looking for good ideas about where to place him in E1, thoughts on my ideas for E3, and clever escape mechanisms for his appearances in E1&2. Any input at all would, of course, be welcomed and appreciated.

Anyone know where I can get the maps for H1-H3 without any creature markings (example: A with a circle around it indicating starting position of monster)? I use a projector aiming down at our table to project our board. Don't feel like photoshopping all the maps

In my campaign:

After the PC's leave Thunderspire Peak a mysterious disease had appeared in the Nentir Vale affecting the scattered villages in the fields between Trade Road and Fallcrest. The disease is like scarlet fever and if it killed the host, the host would rise again usually after 24hrs. (Paldamar created the disease.)

Then after the PC's escaped out of the Pyramid 110yrs later there was a new religion, Tymarc. (1 day in the pyramid was 10 yrs out of the pyramid. The book indicated there was a time disparity but doesn't give any indication as to how this worked.) Tymarc is competing with the Raven Queen. The new religion offers a timeless life; wanting for nothing; the more devout (or wealthy / influential followers) are risen to high positions, these devout are turned into visages before death, they then continue in their positions. Worshipers are given a tattoo, that protects them from undead creatures (of a certain type/level and only for now); The worshipers are told their soul go directly to the Astral Sea where Tymarc accepts all without judgment, without purgatory, only bliss and peace forever. This attracts the less savory individuals of society who don't want the fate of going to Hell.

The presence of the ghosts and zombies is the result of Orcus's growing influence on the world. 
This also relates to helping with the release of Timesus.

Baron Macklehay has become King Mackelhay and is a Visage. He is now helping to spread the new Religion through sanctions and decrees.

King Palenthior is the great grandfather of Vyrellis's dad (also King Palenthior)
Vyrellis and Karavakos have been in the Pyramid for approx 1000yrs, which is 100 days to them.
