Its going well, its actually easier then I thought.  My main question though if anyone has done this before is the pacing.  In A1, the first level has somewhere around 16 encounters, granted some of them pretty minor.  Should I keep them as is to preserve the original module's pacing or should I adapt, maybe moving some of the smaller encounters together to create something more suitable?
