to solve. To complete your experience and
provide you with surprises (both for the
Game Master and for each Player
Character) we've included Villains and
Heroes to each adventure. As well, there are
Mythical and Haunted beings that are used
in this adventure - and may be used in other
adventures of your making.
Since everyone has different 'styles' of Role-
Playing, and because of the many different
'Gaming Systems' that exist, we decided to
design a Generic Scoring System. This
adventure may be used with any gaming
system you wish - and with a little
imagination, you can tailor this adventure to
fit into your existing campaign.
Use this adventure as a single stand-alone
adventure for a weekend gaming session or
use it as part of a multi-part gaming
campaign. Interchange various adventures
together. If you have a great idea - send it to
us, we always warmly appreciate your input
and grow with your feedback.
We strongly believe that the objective to
Role-Playing is 'Playing' - and we will
continue to do our best to bring to you fun,
entertaining

system would assign an average human,
and you have the stat of our creature in
your gaming system. If an average Human
in your system has a strength of 8, and the
target creature in our system has a
strength of 1.5, that creature in your
system would have a strength of 12 (8 x
1.5 = 12).
When it comes to Skills, it works a little
differently. In most systems Skills are given
descriptions or rankings to provide an idea
of how capable your character is in a
particular skill. For our character and
monster Skills we have simply given each
Skill possessed a ranking, which can be
compared to your system which will provide
an idea of that characters proficiency. If
one of our characters is described as
having the melee skill at a master level,
and in your system someone with a melee
skill of 87% and up is considered to be a
master with that skill, then in your game he
has a melee skill of 87% or higher (the
exact value is left to the game masters
discretion). We have deliberately left the
ranking system simple to allow the game
master
For those of you who have used pre written
adventures before the contents of this
introduction will not be new to you, but you
may want to peruse the following anyways.
For those of you who have never run an
adventure before the following will prove
most useful.
We at Grinning Goblin Adventures have
designed a series of adventures that may
be played using any existing Role-Playing
Game system. To accomplish this we have
developed a basic Human template to be
used to compare all other systems against.
This baseline human can be used in such a
way that almost any character in our
adventures can be easily converted into
any game system. Of course, if any
monster that is required in one of our
adventures already exists in your gaming
system, it would be advisable to use that
version.
If you do need to use our stats for a
monster, the easiest way to think of them is
as statistic modifiers. In our system, an
average Human has a value of 1 for the
three physical statistics and the three
mental statistics. Simply multiply the stat
modifier
to
tailor
the
opposition
to
PC’s
participating in his adventures.
One of the most difficult aspects of Fantasy
Role-playing Games to convert is Magic.
What we have done in our system is to
provide the Gamemaster with a general
indication of the practitioners ability level
(similar to skills) and also provid an idea of
the types of magic he is capable of
performing. An example of an ‘Illusionist’
like David Copperfield might be described
in one of our adventures as a wizard who is
a novice in the use of magic and is limited
to
low
power
spells
in
the
areas
of
summoning and illusion.
From this information it should be relatively
easy to choose what spells are available to
the character and how capable he is at
using them in your chosen rule system.

Difficulty
There are some occasions where it will be necessary to rate the difficulty of something, either
removing a trap or making a given saving throw. Grinning Goblin uses the following:
D20 Equivilant
% Equivilant
Easy
DC 10
+10%
Moderate
DC 13
+5%
Average
DC 15
+0%

DC 25
-20%
Difficult
DC 30
-30%
Nigh Impossible
DC 35
-40%

DC 40
-50%
Bonuses and Penalties
Sometimes the GM will need to assign PCs bonuses or penalties to their actions due to the
effects of certain traps, or conferred upon them by certain items. In order to make the
descriptions of these easier to convert, Grinning Goblin uses the following scale:
D20 equivilant
% Equivilant
Minor
+/-1
+/-5%
Small
+/-2
+/-10%
Moderate
+/-3
+/-15%
Substantial
+/-4
+/-20%
Large
+/-5
+/-25%
Great
+/-6
+/-30%
Therefore if the party finds a magical sword, the GM would be able to figure out exactly what
the bonus to hit and damage would be with the weapon in his system.
Traps and Damage Equivalency
Rather than leave judging the damage, difficulty to find and remove, and effects of the traps up
to the GM to figure out, with these systems, we can pinpoint exactly how a trap functions,
except for damage. To convert this, Grinning Goblin uses damage equivalency. Any fantasy
system will have a certain array of weapons. In order to give the GM the appropriate damage
for something, the damage will be listed as being equivalent to a certain weapon’s damage. If
it does a lot of damage, even more than a weapon could do, it will be listed like triple
broadsword damage, ect. So if a broadsword in the given system is a d8 damage, triple
broadsword damage would be 3d8.
The purpose of this system is that it makes the damage of a given trap proportional to the
damage system of a given game system. In some game systems, PCs have a lot of hit points
and weapons do lots of damage. In others, weapons do less damage and people have less hit
points. By giving the GM an idea of the type of harm that the trap is supposed to inflict on the
PCs, traps can be customized to fit into any system. Of course, always assume that the
weapon is as if it were wielded by a person of average strength in that game system, in case
weapon damage is based on strength in a given system.

conventions and format used in this adventure to detail any creatures or characters met by the
Player Characters, and secondly it illustrates the conversion of a basic human into some of the
most prevalent game systems. The "Other" column is supplied to act as a worksheet for your
convenience, in case the character attributes used in your game system are not listed.
