Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 5323232" data-attributes="member: 42582">I've converted Basic D&D encounters to 4e - this is fairly similar to converting 2nd ed AD&D.My advice would be: (i) definitely use 4e XP rules, both for rewards and for encounter building; (ii) this will mean that sometimes you have to change the original encounter a bit, especially if its XP value would make it too dangerous for the level of party you will be GMing; (iii) like someone said upthread, look for opportunities to change parts of the old adventure into a skill challenge, or to join little encounters into larger, more dynamic 4e-style encounters; (iv) adjust the treasures to 4e standard, maybe using the original as a bit of a flavour guide - normally this will mean less gold and less magic, at least in a low-level module.</blockquote>
