So it is! Had it listed as a "Character" article when it's clearly a "Conversion"! Fixed, and thank you, that is exactly what I was thinking of!

I have converted B2 with the original 1980 ITL. I have not yet bought the new version. I converted twice once in 1986 and again 2021. If you have any questions feel free to contact me and I will tell you what I did.

Craig,
I'd welcome a look at how you handled the conversion. I thought I sent you a PM or "email" but my profile "sent" folder isn't showing I did so. Let me know how to proceed. Thanks!

In my Classic TFT days, I did conversions from the original D&D. Mostly from the Monster Manual. Some were from Deities and Demigods.

if you need to convert from classic TFT to legacy TFT then see

Also loading your classic TFT character into the text box at

Then hitting "parse from text" then "format to text" will convert some of the things. (Needs work on equipment.)

Henry, the ultimate TFT Sage.

I appreciate all your content and videos!
What I admire most is that, you guys that were exposed to it back then now can nearly game the system from a numbers standpoint, using combos of weapons, talents and attributes. Your familiarity w the rules set is remarkable.

In this fashion, TFT is so much more mathematical/logical than D&D. I have loving memories of being exposed to Moldvay Basic then 1st Ed AD&D, the specific feel of those times and that game is hard to replicate. I’m hoping I can pass on some of that “feel” to my new players using ITL. The first couple times were a success, and 5 or 6 people playing teams in Melee and Wizard is super enjoyable too.
