D&D 1E DnD 1e to 5e Conversion Tool

[Morrus]

Stann Shinn has made a way to convert 1E to 5E.

"To convert a 1e monster to 5e, here’s a tool I’ve come up with. Please feel free to comment on ways to improve this. I’m sure the DMG will have some better specific guidance, but this will tide me over till November as I run some low-level 1e modules converted to 5e."

And here's the PDF tool you can download for free: http://goo.gl/ONB8OR

And a full blog article showing the math and logic behind the conversion stats:

have you had a chance to tweak these numbers with the new (final) numbers in the starter set?

EN World doesn't let me post links I guess since I haven't posted enough comments yet.

The link was on the EN World homepage on 05/22/14. Here it is in a format that I'm allowed to post:
