Stats and hit points stayed the same, AC was converted back, it was a piece of cake.<br /><br />The AD&D modules are non-stop fighting, so the players wanted to have their lightning bolts, fireballs, all the flashy stuff not in LOTFP. The other thing is that everyone swings about the same in regular D&D in terms of THACO (fighters aren't special at all) - so more of the group fights. Monster armor class scales in higher level AD&D. I figure'd it was just easier beefing up the players then toning down and converting a ton of AD&D modules (and I'll build a future campaign to be LOTFP from the ground up).<br /><br />The zombie war is being played (by me) using something called War Machine which came out in the Companion rules for Mentzer D&D. The zombies smoked the upper villages, but I can't reveal the rest of the war just yet...Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031181424520125213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-25270384790106610572011-06-20T11:26:29.890-04:002011-06-20T11:26:29.890-04:00That was very interesting.

It seems like you've done a great job integrating the modules (old and new) into your setting -- and making sure there are consequences to the players' actions. (I'm really curious to see the outcomes of the "zombie apocalypse" they've unleashed.) One question: did you run into much "mechanical friction" switching between rules sets, or was it fairly seamless?Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254215329246851683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-69372006731396778282011-06-20T05:30:27.321-04:002011-06-20T05:30:27.321-04:00Look forward to hearing about the session.
