Converting D&D to Basic Fantasy

Post by Playdead »

Hey, everyone! I’m brand-new to the forums and I’m already looking for help. 🙄

I might have a chance to run an RPG session for my grandson and three friends, all of whom are about 12. I’ll need a short introductory scenario to use after characters are created OR I can use pre-gens for more actual play time.

I’m not a fan of D&D 5e, but I do like the Lost Ruin of Phandelver from the Starter Set. To convert this to Basic Fantasy, are there pitfalls to avoid, anything I should know, etc. If this becomes a regular thing, I’d like to do some old D&D like The Lost City. That stuff should be easy to convert, right? 🤔

Thanks for your thoughts and help here.

There is an older thread that is about converting the Lost mines over to BFRPG.

Well, bummer. Link has expired to the actual material. Thanks, though.

Any way to get that info posted on here also? I would love an already done conversion...I feel like the Starter boxes and Essentials adventures are pretty good despite being 5e and would love to have a conversion of them ready to go.

DM sent. I don't post links publicly in respect to the forum but when asked, I have no issue with sending them in a DM.
