Forked from: 1E Resurgence?
How, other than story and basic (and I mean very basic, like the shape of the maps and little else) would that even work? Hoards of deadly monsters are reduced to "minions" of one hit point - I mean, a 4th or 5th level party could work through Room #11 in G1 THE STEADING OF THE HILL GIANT CHIEF in maybe ... five rounds? Less? with the host of at-will powers and etcetera.
This isn't a slam on the newest D&D, but I'm genuinely curious to know exactly how you could even begin to economically (time and preparation wise) use older modules with what is basically an entirely different game. I mean we all mine different products for resources - I've cribbed stuff from THE FANTASY TRIP for AD&D, and so forth, but only in the "well that's a neat map/plot" sense."
neuronphaser said:Similar experience but different: I looked at C&C and thought it was neat but too backwards. However, it led me to find Castle Zagyg, which in turn has gotten me on a Greyhawk kick. I also nabbed some old modules (Temple of Elemental Evil, Tegel Manor, etc.) and plan to do it all up for 4E because I like the ruleset and I'm more than happy to just wing the conversion to a degree.
Currently starting with 4e Rappan Athuk, but I'll definitely have opportunity to start using the Greyhawk stuff soon.
