[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8429696, member: 29398"] The aggravation wouldn't be less, merely different: you'd be replacing the aggro of wading through the material with the aggro of having to constantly flip pages between the adventure and whichever appendix has the stats for your system. To the OP: while I applaud your multi-system idea in principle, in practice* I wonder if the end result would bloat the page count beyond usefulness. What I'd far rather see, at least for the D&D side, is WotC publish a fully-detailed rules-official guide for converting any edition of D&D to any other. Got a 4e module you want to run in a 1e game? Here's the conversion guide. Got a 2e module you want to run in 5e? Here's the conversion guide - same book, even! Want to run a Basic campaign using 4e's Points-of-Light setting? Here's what to do. And so on. Yes you'd still have to do the actual conversion work yourself, but the guide would tell you exactly what to do and how to do it, and (I hope!) give some idea of what to expect as a result. * - unless you're only writing for a couple of systems at once, in which case go for it!
