Re: Converting material from other systems
 

Nope. when I come to room 55 in the original module and the original map/text says there's a trap at the door in room 55 (and 56, 57 and 58 for ToH) I tell the rogue to make a PER check when she comes to the door(s).

If she misses the PER Roll (it doesn't happen often) then it's make a DX roll to avoid falling into the pit or a Dodge Roll to juimp out of the way of the hidden crossbow bolt or whatever the text says the trap is.

You only need _a_ map and _a_ list of what's in each room. The Gurps particulars of what each line item is are very, very simple at their core.

Good to find a similar thinker.

You said it even simpler than I did. ;)

Re: Converting material from other systems
 

Very easy, actually. As others have said, ignore the source mechanics and translate just the feel.

In case nobody has mentioned it already, I recommend you have a look at the first post in Gavynn's thread on CP overuse, where he does an ultra-quick conversion of a D&D monster to GURPS.

Also, check out the thread on my attempt at running Brett's excellent scenario 9,401 (designed for an entirely different system) under GURPS Lite + a few extras. The attempt was a big success, even though the group was completely new to GURPS. If you play rules-light games, you might like my approach.

Good luck,
M.

That's an excellent link to Gavvyn's thread. Thanks! Looks
like I can brush the dust off of my polyhedrals after all. :-)

Re: Converting material from other systems
 

I might do that when I've got some solid concept of how magic is going to work and, of course, just how this underground living can be sufficiently hand-waved away (hence the previous thread ;)).

Why is it that magic always gives me pause. It took me ages to start producing 40k materials because I needed to get psykers just right. *sigh*
