[QUOTE="pming, post: 8431941, member: 45197"] Hiya! If you publish it yourself, go for it. Otherwise...well..."difficult" would be my guess. At least the "publishing" part. Writing it is significantly easier. I've had adventure ideas that I thought would be cool for multiple game systems. Usually, actually. It's more rare for me to conceive of an adventure that is "specifically" for System ABC or whatever. Anyway, I have often just written down the "Common Language System" info. Oh, right, I created a multi-page "RPG system" that I call the Common Language System that has a few basic formulas for gauging power levels and whatnot, and I use a Common Language to describe these 'power levels'. I did this a couple decades ago when I was doing a lot of "game system conversion stuff". Now, when I write an adventure I think might work for, say, Powers & Perils, AD&D 1e, and Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperboria, I can just write down "Monster: Mid-Power Goblinoids" or "Trap: Easy Difficulty w/ Dangerous Outcome [Incapacitating]". Then, if I happen to run it with P&P, I know "Ok, Mid-Power Goblinoids would be about.... 6 Goblins". If I'm running it with 1e AD&D, "Ok, Mid-Power Goblinoids would be about... 3 Hobgoblins". If it's the trap, for P&P "Trap: Paralyzing Gas (Difficult); BL 11; Paralyzed for 1 minute per point failed by)". When I'm doing a "conversion" on the fly, I almost always just use the "word" and use the systems interpretation of that word. So if I see "8 Kobolds" in a 1e adventure and we're playing 5e, I just sub in "8 kobolds" from the 5e MM.
