Message: <blockquote data-quote="the_redbeard" data-source="post: 8231707" data-attributes="member: 22644">There is a commercially available B/X-ification of 5e called <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/13311/O5R-Games/subcategory/32807/Into-the-Unknown--Bundles" target="_blank">"Into the Unknown"</a>. The author distinguishes between "travel pace" and "exploration pace", which is 1200/ft per 10 minute segment, allowing mapping, passive perception, no penalty on perception vs stealth checks for surprise, etc. You'll note the 5e-isms inherent in that B/X procedure structure. Reaction rolls, morale, wandering monsters (a very good section, the author uses the concept of the Overloaded Encounter die) are all present.Other intersections between B/X and 5e in "Into the Unknown" mentioned in this thread: - XP for adventure earned/recovered gold spent frivolously. - There is an optional rule to limit cantrips (I use it) - Max HP at 1st levelI use Into the Unknown as the starting point for my 5e-ish game (which I keep threatening to restart... f'ing covid). I have house rules for a simplified encumbrance system (which uses slots so is easily visually calculated), tie consumption of food and water for rests (tinkering with the ratio tho). I also created a new rest category - Unsafe Long Rest, which is taking a long rest in a dungeon like environment. In an Unsafe Long Rest, characters choose between getting their long rest benefits to hit dice or to abilities, but not both.</blockquote>
