In my current AD&D campaign, I've used Tomb of the Iron God (for S&W), Orange B3 (B/X), Grinding Gear (generic D&D module scaled to about B/X or so), Dark Chateau (C&C), parts of Demonspore (S&W), and Barrowmaze (LL, so B/X) with no problem. I don't really convert; I just use them as-is, and it's worked just fine.

That's pretty much how I see it. S&W, LL, C&C are all sufficiently AD&D that it's easy to use the products without any real issues. Works for me....

I'm not sure about LL having never played or seen the rules. I understand that Dwimmermount will be LL (or am I mistaken). Has C&C changed? The 1st edition of it seemed pretty much a duplicate of the 1e AD&D PHB but without the whimsy.

So far with S&W it isn't as much about conversion as it is about expanded the game information covered. Again my experience is primarilly in using the S&W version of Tome.

I've found myself picking up numerous free/cheap PDFs via RPG or Drivethru websites recently, for S&W, LL, C&C and having sufficient information and compatibility to be able to read it as though it'd play in a campaign styled on AD&D without much drama.

But yes, I agree with Sardan, if FGG put out a S&W Tsar or other major rework item, I'd be in!
