I will give this a try and report how it goes.
Please do. I'm certainly open to input on ways to improve the converter, like changes to the way I'm trying to break Nyx page text up into multiple Eos Say actions, etc.
Hell yeah, fapnip! Thank you. I will give this a try and report how it goes.

Did you have any luck with it?
Well... more than a year later, I finally got around to trying this. And it seems to have worked! Thank you, fapnip! This is a really big deal, because it means my work is not lost.
So... now I have an unpublished EOS version of the second (unfinished) chapter of Pledge to the Coven. Now I have to decide what to do next.
Judging from how great of an experience the original pledge to the coven was, I'd personally love to see the sequel, even if its only available in an unfinished state.
Although of course "unfinished" can mean a lot of things - ranging from just missing some polishing to not containing any finished encounters or being connected and playable in any way without additional effort.
If you don't plan on finishing it though, I think it would be a shame to let all the work already done go to waste.
Then again, if you do think you might finish it some day - maybe it can be motivating to at least see that people are still interested?
It is fully functional and complete up to a point near the very end. But, there are scenes that I think need some rewriting. I'm unhappy with the second puzzle (of 2 puzzles) -- I think it's overcomplicated, for technical reasons related to the fact that it was originally written in Nyx, not EOS. (I had to adjust the puzzle, to account for the possibility of someone failing halfway and returning to the tease later, which Nyx could not handle well.)
So, if I were to finish it, I'd want to finish the final scene, then go back and do minor rework to take advantage of EOS and fix some clunkiness.
That said, I was inspired to make an estim tease, which will be set in the same setting as Pledge. That might be good news to folks with estim, but not for everyone. Then, if that works, I can probably strip out the estim programming and replace it with stroking instructions or metronome. So... a couple things are on the horizon.
Interesting. After seeing this post a few days ago, I went back and started playing the original "Pledge to the Coven" again, it had been a while and I didn't remember it too well, but seemed to remember I thought it was pretty good. Anyway, as I was going through some of the early scenes, I started thinking this would make a pretty good e-stim tease with a little modification. I'm a little hesitant with Bondage and unknown e-stim signals, but otherwise it really has potential.
Good Luck with whatever you decide to do or not do.
