Is anyone aware of any work already done converting Dragon Heist to the Ravnica setting? Tried various searches and nothing popping up. Seems like a pretty obvious switch - city based scenario arc flipped to a city based setting.
While I'm sure things like that happen all the time. I'm not sure how often there will be a guide on how they did it. For one thing, it will be fairly subjective as to how much the DM wants to change to fit it into the new setting.
Phew! That is a lot to wade through. I should try and prize some info out of the GM. It should be a fairly easy port across. Just need to decide which guild to hook the different factions to.
Also more generally what is the Ravnica special sauce? What turns vanilla Waterdeep into Ravnica?

Inter-guild conflict is Ravnica's bread and butter. Work that in and you're golden.
Heya, I am the DM running that PBP. Feel free to PM me for more info, but generally I have made just a few changes...
1. Familar faces are all swapped to Ravnica names, races, and organizations. Any surprise Zhents from before are currently either surprise Dimir and (I cant say my player is in this thread.)
2. Pick the villain you want and look through Ravnica lore to replace them with. I can share mine with you if you would like.
3. The guilds and Faerunian organizations don't really match up 1 to 1. I am not 100% done with conversion, and i wont convert all of it until I know for sure what factions will be tapped into as friendly orgs. Once I know that, i will likely remix the quests they give for the purposes of leveling up. For example, the Dimir seem like you could take Jarlaxe's drow and the Zhents and mix them together. Then add some Ravnica flair!
I think the biggest hurdle is party guild make-up. Mine are two Rakdos, two Izzets, and an Orzhov. It is going to be up to them to keep track of why they are all buddies. What I might have done differently is let them all be guildless to start with a certain color affinity, maybe let each have at least 1 cantrip I approve, then let them change their background to the guild of their choice after they do the intro quests.
Just my two cents.

So I've decided to put my floating ideas down on paper. It's not complete by any means, but it sums up how I am feeling so far. IF YOU PLAY IN MY RAVNICA PBP GAME DON'T READ... Meta. :P

You may want/need to switch some monsters out of the adventure for monsters in GGtR.

Brilliant. I will send you a message once I have had a chance to gather my own thoughts and then compare notes
