DFRPG / Converting d20 Adventure Modules to DFRPG
« on: June 08, 2017, 12:47:51 PM »
My group has agreed to try the DFRPG, but only really has experience with d20 systems. I had planned to run a d20 Modern game, but they were more interested in a completely different system for an urban fantasy game. I want to keep things simple on my end, so I thought about converting a d20 Modern module to Dresden to have something going on in the background for them to interact with. Has anyone had any experience with converting d20 modules to DFRPG or Fate in general? Some things I have to consider:
1) Power Level. The module assumes 1st level characters unaware of the supernatural, so I was thinking the PCs would start at Feet in the Water. One player has expressed interest in playing a werewolf, so I thought he could take some of the basic required were-powers and build up as they hit major milestones. Story-wise it may be that they'll all just be familiar wih their own powers and lore, but have only heard stories of other creatures and supernatural abilities.
2) D&D races and creatures. I will try to stick to Dresdenverse creatures when possible, but there are several I will have to build, such as kobolds, bugbears, giant spiders, an oni (ogre mage) and a demon or two (eventually).
I'm sure I'll think of more, but this is a good start. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!
