In principle this is a really good idea. A module where (for example) the Heroes are working somewhere on the perimeter of the battle for Tultipet, not directly involved in the main fighting, but perhaps defending an outpost, procuring supplies, etc. I like the fact that it could potentially address the XP/GP disparity between con-goers and everyone else.
Unfortunately, as you stated, it would cause
a lot of extra work for campaign staff. It is my understanding that a big part of why the special events stopped being released for home play was that it was a lot of work to convert the document from BI stats into something releasable to the public.
This idea, while really cool, would be even more work than converting BI stats, as the author basically has to start from scratch and write an entirely separate module.
