Roll20 Modules - converting premades to other systems

Hey all,  I apologize in advance for moving my similar question to this thread, I'm hoping to get my question answered!  I'm looking into picking up the 5th edition Strahd module for use on here. Mostly for the premade story, maps, art, etc.  But I'd like to know from the people who have used it, is the format that everything is all in editable?  Like all the premade stuff, would I be able to change it over to pathfinder easily or is this not possible?  Thanks in advance!

Opening caveat: I don't own Curse of Strahd on Roll20, so there may be something specific to this adventure that goes against what I can say. But I do own several other of the official 5e products (Storm King's Thunder, Lost Mine of Phandelver), so I would assume the experience would be similar across products. After a little bit of testing with those products, this is what I found. Once you own it and have it set up, it operates exactly like building your own - other than the art assets are not added to your library (they just are attached to the creatures/maps/handouts that are built for the campaign). Otherwise, you have full control over everything in game. I think all of the maps and handouts would work just fine. The hard part will be converting creatures to the Pathfinder sheet. I think you would basically be rebuilding each of those from scratch. Resetting the tokens shouldn't be too hard using some of Aaron's scripts (hooray for Tokenmod!), but only after rebuilding each character sheet for the monsters and NPC's. Hope that helps!

I pretty much agree with what Loren said. =D

What Loren describes is pretty much what I do when I convert a module on roll20 into my chosen OSR system.
