I'm not a big fan of D&D. I've played it once or twice and had fun, but the rules are a little more complicated for GMing than I like. I've finally found a Fantasy RPG rules system that I dig in "Eldritch". (http://www.goodman-games.com/eldritch.html) But since it's a new game produced by a smaller game company, it just doesn't have the kind of support D&D has had for decades. Support that I have to rely on since I'm no longer in college with time to burn creating adventures and elaborate plots.
Luckily, the internet exists and I can jump over to Wizards Of The Coast's website for some free stuff! They maintain an archive of old edition D&D material that I'm adapting for use in my Eldritch game. It only takes a few minutes to generate monster and traps stats in Eldritch, and the rules lend themselves to creating enemies and scenarios that balance well with your group of heroes. So all I really need is the plotline, some maps and descriptive text, which I can get in these old D&D modules!
