Turn Undead is a lot more powerful in LL than it is in 5E. Level drain is worse in LL, but if you are of appropriate level, clerics can Turn Undead more frequently than they can in 5E, so it may balance out.I do like the overland barrows that you can explore. It also has a nifty barrow generator that you can use outside of the context of the book (great for hex crawls or rolling up a quick lair).RA is huge and I'm sure there are areas that may not work well in some systems. I think RA was originally written for 3E, then converted to Swords & Wizardry and then converted again to 5E.It is difficult to trace the lineage of conversion and it may impact the quality of the 5E end result. When I deal with products that are not 5E, I go with the older the better. In many cases, I would rather convert the Swords & Wizardry version to 5E on the fly than use the actual 5E version. This holds true for Barrowmaze. I would rather take the original Barrowmaze for Labryinth Lord and convert on the fly than buy Barrowmaze 5E.Most conversions do what I would do anyway, and by having the original, I can run in both 5E and the intended rule-set.</blockquote>
