D&D question
Aug. 1st, 2010 05:54 pmHi all. I'm looking for some advice on the D&D front. Bear with me while I explain!
Having played some D&D for the first time in (gulp) about 25 years with
badger2305 after WisCon I've, maybe foolishly, agreed to DM a game back home with
pennski and some friends.
However, I've tried playing around with 4th Edition and frankly I'm finding the combat & character skills system too complex for a room full of people none of whom will have played anything later than 1st edition AD&D and several who have pretty much never played RPGs at all.
So I've been searching the internets to try and find some advice on converting 4th edition stats back to 1st edition AD&D and not really getting anywhere (1st edition to 4th, yes, 4th to 1st, not so much)
So I'm wondering if any of my gaming friends here know of any resources that might be useful that I haven't come across? I've got both sets of rulebooks so I could probably work something out for myself but I'm equally happy to find any short-cuts I can!
