I have successfully converted the old modules B2, C1, UK4, and A1 to 5e over the past few years, and largely the challenges have stayed the same (I had to alter a few for creatures that did not exist as 5e creatures, or create critters whole cloth). Looking over some of the 2nd edition stuff, it might be a bit harder, because some of the creatures (in particular, Dragons, Demons, and Devils) did change a bit between AD&D 1st edition and 2nd edition, and their challenge gets a bit thrown off when doing straight monster substitution. Keeping in mind however, that all the modules I've converted so far are 8th level and under, I haven't really looked in-depth at converting say, a Vecna must Die or Return to the Tomb of Horrors, so any difficulty in converting 2nd ed stuff is more perception than playtested experience.</p></blockquote><p></p>
