A Long Shot....


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Sure, I now it is a long shot but I figured I'd ask around.

I've been teaching my son (6yo) to play D&D using my old red box. He's picking it up pretty well and is enjoying it. My daughter has expressed an interest now a well (5yo) and I'm looking at running a game for the two of them in Golarion using the BECMI rules for D&D.

While they are both too young for RotR, I think I'll probably base their game in Sandpoint and let them explore, mash goblins etc.

What I'm curious about is if anyone else has been using BECMI in Golarion? I'm fixing to sit down and start cranking out conversions for the critter entries in PF, take a look at the equipment and see if anything needs OD&D'ized, etc. and was hoping someone else may have done some conversions as well and might be interested in sharing.

Yeah. Longshot. I know. ;D

Oh, and what about GM Module conversions? Any of those out there?

Spoiler:
Yep. Long shot.

What is BECMI?

BECMI refers to the

B = Basic set
E = Expert set
C = Companion set
M = Master set
I = Immortal set

Together they are BECMI.

The "Red Box" basic D&D was the first of the line.

I fear that you won´t have much luck finding conversions - Basic D&D could be considered exotic these days...

Ayup, hence the thread title.

Surprisingly though, I've found enough classic D&D love out there to actually be running a regular group with it (aside from my kids).

I play but have not done any research in converting Golarion material. Sorry about that. I am currently running a BECMI game for my "nieces" in my homebrew and they have been loving it.

The campaign notebook sounds quite neat and taking on the conversion task sounds like a great deal of fun. Call me weird but I always liked converting material.
