[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 9558780, member: 15582"] I used the Forbidden Lands campaign, Raven's Purge, because that was originally going to be my next game and I already owned it and the [I]Bitter Reach[/I] book. Then DB kickstarter happened. I read the QS and the promise of an early release PDF sealed the deal as I knew my players were doing to be much more open to rolling one die with their skill rating as the challenge rating. I used critters from the [I]Wyrd and Wild[/I]. It didn't hurt that someone had already added those critters to a OSR monsters to DB monsters spreadsheet. (I did tweak the creatures I used more towards my interpretation of DB monster building.) Honestly, though, now that the [I]Bestiary [/I]is out, it is even easier to tweak and reskin what you need. As a side note: Some of my friends now claim DB is my favorite game because our min/maxer who hardly ever gets scratched in any other game system finally had a PC death. His attitude was surprisingly great. He was, "Yep. Them's the rules and I'm dead." (He's the guy in 5e who would take the original Lucky Feat and then a cleric class.) His best min/max was to put his highest scores in WIL and CON (15 and 14) when he couldn't get his skills above 12. He eventually discovered that getting more HAs meant he more temptations to burn through his WP, which he kept trying to avoid. [/QUOTE]
