Oriental Adventures conversion to 5E, Compendium Compatible.

Hi, i am looking to run a 5E version of Oriental Adventures here on Roll20. Is there a download version for the Compendium, and if not is there a way for me to edit them into the Compendium manually so  that they will populate character sheets for any player wanting to use those special characters and classes Kevin

Unfortunately no. Custom compendiums (and community editing of the compendiums) is something that has been on pretty much every user's wish list for a while.
hi thanks for answering....so there is no way to convert Oriental Adventures into a 5E game...there is a pdf that does merge them but i am not sure it can be used by the compendium here Kevin
Sure you can run the OA on roll20. I believe it was during the 2e era. So you can start by using that character sheet, possibly edit it yourself for specific OA features (or get the Original author to do it). However, the monsters that aren't already in the SRD, you would have to build the stat block entries yourself.
hey terrelle, yeah the first one was 2e (ad&d) but there was another one that came out in 3.5 or 3.o...also there is a pdf, which i have where they converted it to 5E. my question is how do i get that into a compendium that my players can use on the 5E player sheet. aldo i want to write descriptions and specif maps...some place for those.

You (and your players) will have to enter things by hand. The compendium is great, but it can't hold every bit of info for a given system. The sheet is completely text entry so as long as none of the core rules changed you can just enter everything manually from the pdf. As for the maps and descriptions, that's where pages and handouts come in. It will take more work than running something that is 100% supported, but is completely possible (and indeed the core of what Roll20 was designed to do).
Yeah, what Scott C. said. You will have to upload all the maps that you have ( if you have any), and create all of monster stats by hand, and create handouts by hand. There is no way to import what you have into the system.
thank you Scott and terrelle....so it seems there is a lot of work ahead of me.
