That's the spirit

Quote from: Psikerlord;941632LFG Mag..?

Is this commercefag?

Just bought the hardcover version on lulu, after having read the free pdf. I want to run it... but... could the author provide us with guidelines to convert AD&D monsters & creatures? I see a lot of little technical differences when I compare LFG bestiary and AD&D 1979 monster manual (hd, ac, etc.).
thx ��

Hi Amleth, so... there's no straight formula, but hopefully the below will assist:

Generally ACs in LFG range from 10-20, so you can convert descending AC by subtracting from 20 (basically 10-13 is low, 14-16 moderate, 17-20 high, 21+ extremely high).

HD should be fine to keep as is, given the to hit bonus tops out at +15. The monster will just have lots of HP if you use over 20HD (especially LFG Boss Monsters, who get extra HP).

Hmm having a look through AD&D damage, that looks a bit trickier, it's a bit up and down. PCs in LFG are hardy, given how their HP is rolled, shields, rescues, martial exploits & party retreats - there are lots of way to avoid a TPK. I suggest comparing damage to a similar HD monster in LFG, and winging it, using something in that ballpark. If you use the AD&D damage it would probably be fine.

The LFG Luck stat is based on HD. So just compare to a similar LFG HD monster, and use that Luck number (or thereabouts).

Standard humanoid movement in LFG is 30 ft, which I think is equal to about 12" in AD&D. So if you triple AD&D movement, you'll be in the right ballpark. Generally speaking though, very little in LFG has less than 30 ft move (zombies, some moulds?), everything else is 30 ft or quicker (esp larger monsters, flying monsters).

This post reminds me, I should put something on the site about making monsters/Luck calculations.

Currently working on the review. I don't want to give anything away, but let's say it really wasn't how I was imagining it would be.

Thank you very much Psikerlord for having taken your time to answer me. This really helps a lot. I think I'll end up making a chart comparing LFG & AD&D creatures stats.

(still have not received my hardcover copy...)

It's going to be kind of critical, I'm sorry to say.

Well you must do what you must

And then we'll have a good conversation here.
