Using older adventures with 4E, Pathfinder, Trailblazer, etc. – how do you do it?
It’s been pointed out in other threads, and I’ve encountered this myself a bit also, that converting older edition adventures to 4E or to houseruled systems (like Pathfinder, Trailblazer, etc.) can be a bit of a challenge due to some of the newer mechanics. For example, the existence of a “rest mechanic” can increase the long term capabilities of an adventuring party, from encounter to encounter, that older edition adventures were not written for or could have anticipated.
For those who have used older edition adventures, or adventures from completely different systems/companies, in their 4E or houseruled games (Pathfinder, Trailblazer, etc.): What problems, difficulties, or challenges have you encountered? What changes, tips, or tricks do you use when upgrading or converting older adventures for your use? What changes do you make to the structure of the adventure because of, or to adapt to, these new mechanics?
Please also list the edition or system you are using for play, and the edition or system of the adventure you converted.
