[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8450254, member: 70468"] I think it’d be more tricky if I were trying to run a modern D&D adventure rather than something targeted at a B/X-compatible system. My expectation is converting the creatures over will be easy. I expect most of the work will be fixing the adventure itself, which I’d need regardless. [I]Halls of the Blood King[/I] is time-limited, but it’s written and keyed like it’s a site-based adventure. It uses the events table to help move NPCs around, but it feels like it will be too rigid. I’m thinking of adding schedules and using a [URL='https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/37995/roleplaying-games/game-structure-party-planning']party planning[/URL] structure for the events in the Great Hall. This is an area where I find WWN is actually pretty lacking.
