[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 9671494, member: 17913"] I think I gotcha. I guess part of my response that I forgot to actually type out (b/c I'm a dummy) was that I don't find the conversion work that difficult or time consuming: just go by vibes. I suspect that's a lot easier said than done with more internally self-consistent mid-crunch systems like 5E, though. But I found that in practice, even during the height of my "always 5E and little else" days, vibes works way better than I first expected. I had a half-dozen play groups (thanks in part to running games open to the public at my FLGS) and very few of the players were hyper rules-focused. For example, I used the airship rules from Aaron Reed's Skycrawl, which are mostly PbtA style "Moves" based rules but have conversion notes to 5E/d20 rules, and nobody minded the "transition" to slightly different metagame rules thinking once we walked through it once. IME YMMV and all that. And quite possibly not an example germane to what you're talking about, so apologies if that's the case. [/QUOTE]
