This system is heavily inspired by Dragonbane, the Black Sword Hack, Cairn, and Shadowdark. Rough conversion guides are offered for each

Dragonbane

Most Dragonbane tests can be matched in Redwood like-for-like.
Due to the Wound system, Redwood characters have approximately twice the health of Dragonbane characters, though spending Stamina for Focus reduces that gap somewhat.
A rough rule of thumb is to increase Dragonbane HP values by 50%. Damage typically does not need adjusting, though you can increase very deadly monster attacks by 25 to 50% if necessary.
The economy is similar - roll on the Random Treasure table instead of drawing Treasure Cards.
The largest discrepancy is in the magic system - magic in Redwood is more challenging to harness and comes at a higher cost. Use the Conjuring rules system for all Dragonbane spells.
NPC Difficulty can be inferred from Ferocity and Heroic Abilities - most normal NPCs and monsters are Normal difficulty, they are Hard difficulty if they have 1-2 Heroic Abilities or 2 Ferocity, Daunting for 3-4 Heroic Abilities or 3 Ferocity, and Impossible for 5+ Heroic Abilities or 4+ Ferocity.
Threat is usually 1-2 higher than a Dragonbane creature's Ferocity.
