As many of you probably know, the extremely generous DwarfStar Games have put up their Barbarian Prince for free, as in free beer, download.

Its an amazing little solo game.
I ran it the other day using an extremely rough conversion to LAW and it was a lot of fun.
For Character Stats:
ST = Endurance + 7
DX = Combat + 7
IQ = Wit & Wiles + 7
Only the Barbarian Prince has a Wit & Wiles score. I assumed 10 for most other humans, 3 for animals, and 16 for Witches/Wizards.
Prince's Stats: ST16, DX15, IQ 9 - 13 (40-43 points!).
This makes him a pretty experienced LAW character! Possibly too high, but the Prince is much tougher than most entities in the game.
Starting Equipment: Broadsword, and 1-6 Gold.
I assumed Barbarian Prince Gold Piece == 1 LAW Silver, based on the fact that food for a day costs 1 gold.
Used the old AD&D Encounter rules for determining encounter distance, Barbarian Prince actually has robust rules for surprise already.
It was a lot of fun! I won, which probably means it is slightly easier than BP usually is. I love the hexcrawl aspect, looking to do more of that with LAW in general.
