[RPG] How connected are the LOTFP rules with the adventures

I've been reading up on Raggi's Lamentations of the Flame Princess, and was considering introducing it to my players using one of the adventures but using 1e/OSRIC rules. Would this break the whole concept? Would using 0e/LL rules without the LOTFP modifications?

Best Answer

If using a 1e/OSRIC group with an LotFP adventure, no modifications should be needed. The challenges are often not connected to character stats. The adventures should work equally well with any traditional ruleset.

If using LotFP characters with 1e/OSRIC modules, since those are usually more combat-heavy I would make sure the LotFP characters are one level higher than what the module recommends. For example, if an OSRIC module states it's for adventurers levels 4 - 7, I'd make sure the LotFP group is level 5 - 8.

I would make the same recommendation if using Basic Fantasy, Labyrinth Lord, or Swords & Wizardry characters with a 1e/OSRIC module, because 1e characters are generally built tougher, both due to bigger dice used for hit points and because of greater benefits for higher ability scores and a greater chance of having those higher scores.
