Adventures Dark & Deep is a cool AD&D retro-clone with many really great books in the system. I bring this up because the bestiary is one of the best AD&D-like monster collections at 457 pages, and the monster stats convert easily to ACKS.
- ACKS AC = 10 - ADD AC
- Hit Dice = same but use d8s
- ACKS Attack Roll = 11 - ADD HD
- All other abilities as-is!
That is really it. All of a sudden you have a complete AD&D-like monster manual to have fun with, complete with extra-planar creatures and lots of fun classics. Orcus too, along with a full collection of demons and devils. The game-masters book also is a worthy buy, since there are tons of magic items to add to your game.
There are also a few monster books for this system, in case you are looking for more.
Adventures Dark & Deep is also a worthy game to play on its own! But if you are looking for a great set of add-on books for ACKS, and you are tired of some of the same old B/X resources, this is a great set of books to add to your collection and expands ACKS in a lot of familiar ways - while keeping 100% OSR and free of copyrighted IP.
