[QUOTE="jaerdaph, post: 4694552, member: 3398"] Okay, I'm *really* late to the party here but I only recently discovered Microlite20. I've read all the major threads here and at RPGNet, downloaded and read through a lot of stuff (including the message boars) at microlite20.net and I have to say, wow! greywulf, you have managed to extract the essence of the new (d20) and the old (1e) and boiled it down into exactly the rules lite tip of the hat to old school fantasy roleplaying system I've been craving for a long time. And Grimstaff's Expert rules only sweeten the pot! Well done, gentlemen, well done! :) I'm psyched because I'm going to run Microlite20 for the first time this weekend for a small group of friends, some who haven't gamed in years, and this is just the right thing to whet our appetites. I'm going to be running through the first level of Greyhawk Grognard Joe Bloch's The Castle of the Mad Archmage. Microlite20 is perfect because the rules are quick to pick up and non-intrusive to roleplaying. I'm hoping this leads to more appreciation and enjoyment of the actual adventuring experience (including the problem solving and sometimes subtle, sometimes dark humor) that this Gygaxian megadungeon looks like it will provide. I know that its easy to port/convert existing 3e/d20 material into Microlite20, but does anyone have any tips or suggestions for converting (perhaps even "on the fly") 1e/OSRIC rules with the same amount of ease?
