Migration from 4AD to BFRPG (please show me the way)

Post Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:17 am

I've played 4AD (and suplements) for 2 years and I feel ready to move on to BF.
I wonder : could it be possible to create a dungeon with 4AD, roll on it's tables for encounters and translate these encounters to BF?

Has somebody done this before?
Will this work?

BFRPG has tables for Random Dungeon and Wilderness encounters (also Treasure, etc.) - couldn't you just substitute these when creating your dungeon?

Fair enough, but I'd like to play (solo - preferably) with BF, just by random dungeoncrawl. (Comparable to 4AD's workflow.)

You mean Four Against Darkness, right? Sorry, I've heard of the game but I'm not familiar with the system. (I've heard a lot of great things about it though, and I'd love to try it!)

Well, if you are used to BF it might feel a bit stale.
But it can provide you some great rules for a quick&dirty solo dungeoncrawl.

Also check out zeruhur's Dungeon Generator recently posted in Workshop for solo BFRPG play.

The best way to do this imho is to ignore 4AD encounter tables in favor of BFRPG's. Keep the excellent dungeon generator though! And take a look to CptClyde's procedures supplement too!
