Thanks everyone for coming to my play tests for my rules adaptation/conversion. For the rules, I mostly used the 5.1 SRD [1] and 5esrd.com [2].

The source lives here [3]. I plan on adding all the data to a project called dokk that would allow web clients (or similar) to consume the data.

Thanks for reminding me about the Gunslinger class [4].

Recap:

Playtest 1, Steal the MacGuffin

Big Cheese hired the team and provided a grumpy but competent driver for their van.

In the early afternoon on a cloudy day in July, a van dropped off Zuko and Cendre in a busy downtown area to obtain the briefcase held by "Big Mac" by whatever means. As they approached, a not-so-well-dressed dwarf, Bystander A followed Zuko down the street. Cendre split off and circled back to tail Bystander A. A group of rent-a-cops, Thugs C, followed Cendre. Zuko walked through an extrnal passage way under the middle of one of the buildings and used a [SPELLNAME] to distract Bystander A. Then he entered the cafe, full of customers. Bystander A asked for help, and Zuko told him to go into the corner of the cafe. Meanwhile, Cendre approached Thugs C, to exchange words, but the group passed him by while one told him to leave the problem to them. Just as Thugs C, surrounded the cafe from both sides, Bystander B, a mechanized drone window washer operator jumped down from one of the buildings, killing one and mortally injuring another of Thugs C. Bystander B continued into the passage towards the cafe to attack the remaining members of Thugs C. Zuko and Bystander B killed all but one of Thugs C from the cafe. This left two survivors from Thugs C, who retreated.

Meanwhile, Cendre engaged in close melee with Big Mac, who nearly clobbered Cendre to death with his warhammer, though Cendre snatched the MacGuffin. But during the struggle, Agent D appeared and Big Mac fled the scene.

Bystander A and B left together.

Zuko and Cendre returned to the van with the MacGuffin.

Playtest 2, Surprise Office Party

Our team drove back to the office building and after the driver cleared the security checks and parked, he left the group. Cendre, badly injured, remained in the van to rest.

Ardric, Zuko, and Denzen headed up to the 19th floor of an office building. Security A and B greeted them at the elevator, then Security A led them down to the office of Big Cheese. Ardric and Denzen waited in the hall with Security A. Zuko went into the office and presented the MacGuffin.

Just then, an armed group, Paramilitary C blocked both ends of the hallway and started firing. Security A fell without a fight, but Security B took out one of the Paramilitary C. Eventually our team all took cover in Big Cheese's office behind the desk, and gradually picked off the rest of Paramilitary C.

Zuko completed the exchange with Big Cheese, but not before failing to negociate additional payment for acting as bodyguards for whatever the MacGuffin might have contained. Our team exited the building and left in the van.
