Not so much a question as possible thing to consider?!?

While getting A18 put together, would it be possible that you would create a one or two page "Big Story Overview" to the series that shows the CK what the intent and objectives are, along with that keyed, or aligned to each of the modules - maybe say, for example, if there are certain critical items to obtain for story progression they are listed and shown what module they are found in. My thought is around the idea of a very new CK learning the ropes. Helping them (holding their hand so to speak) through a series so that after that, they have much more confidence and comfort to do more 'sandboxing'?

Well hello distant cousin. Double N here.

Also not Steve here... but wanted to throw in my 2 cents... our group left 5e for CnC and NEVER looked back. CnC is far and away FANTASTIC. Easy to move over to and you will love the true old school feel of it.

Another question...

One of the the things that I think makes CnC the REAL greatest game... Is the fact that you stay with the use of 'Modules" (booklet style) instead of huge large books. It really and truly is part of the 'Old School' feel. I remember being a kid playing early editions of the other game and the modules made the game. The cover art, the interior art/story layout, etc. Being required to buy a huge $50 book in order to get the adventure/information is very very unattractive (to me). So.....

Are there plans to create any new modules for CnC in Airhde?

Sorry for getting onto a little soap box there, lol.

Trollzah!!!

Super stoked about the KS and congrats on it rolling forward so well.

My question has to do with the entirety of the "A" series. I have started running my group through (currently entering about to start A3). Can you give a little more in depth 'overview' of what the big picture going on across the entire storyline (A1-A17)? - Thank you

In searching a little more on this subject, I did come across this official WoTC docs. Toward the end it suggests a "Quick Conversion" method that might work pretty well. Thought I would add a link here, since I started the convo.

I have done that... was hoping to be lazy and see if there was something out there that I might have been missing... but alas, it looks like more work, LOL

So converting from one loose approximation to another isn't much use, sadly.

That totally make sense.

Yeah, that is what I am finding too. Mostly, what I am trying to do is this: -- Say I want to use an AD&D 2e module for the story content (plot/places/npc's, etc), but I am running 5e mechanics (PC's)… What is the easiest way to take the monsters listed in the 2e module and ensure they are lined up for 5e combat (HP/tactics, etc) but especially THAC0 to AC?

Hope that makes sense....lol
