This conversion guide is now somewhat dated. The guide was released in 2007 (11 years ago as I write this). That's right about when Evil Hat started using Fate (the word) instead of FATE (the acronym). More to the point, it's 6 years before Fate Core and Fate Accelerated were released, and it's when d20 3.5 was the latest d20 release.

The guide is most useful if you're converting from d20 Modern to Spirit of the Century. It has you create up to 10 aspects, just as you'd get for a player character in SotC. It maps d20 Modern skills to SotC skills.

If you're not specifically converting from d20 Modern to SotC, this guide won't do much for you. You'll have to come up with your own skill mappings. The Fate "aspect economy" in Core and Accelerated would have you create no more than 5 aspects instead of 10. You'd come up with your own conversions for creating stress tracks. You could still use the guide's conversions from d20 ability modifiers to levels on the Fate ladder. The guide already suggests that you create Fate stunts from scratch instead of trying to convert anything to stunts, so that guidance can still be applied to newer editions of Fate.

This is good if you want to convert games like Dungeons and Dragons to Fate Core. Most things translate easily.

So far so good.. Everything I've received from drivethru has been satisfactory.

This is a very helpful guide for those of us with d20 material that we want use for FATE system games. It takes 99% of the guess work out of the conversion process.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Convert your d20 games to FATE.

This free conversion guide was set up to help those playing FATE convert the excellent d20 Modern material put out by Adamant to their system. It's short, it's free, it's thorough, the only thing I would have liked to have seen is some further attention to how one can expect the capabilities of the characters to change.

In addition, high level characters turn out to have a LOT of Aspects, as the example shows, and some advice on how to manage that sort of thing would be helpful.

But it gets the job done and gets it done solidly - and the fact that Adamant is doing this after putting out top quality D20 Modern material for so long shows they're quite committed to the material reaching as many people as possible.

This conversion guide is welcome and useful. I've been wanting to try FATE for some time, but play with guys who like d20.
