Hi guys,

As someone tried to make a DS/AD&D Conversion table, so it can be possible to play AD&D campaigns with DS rules?

Not as far as I know.

I recommend just wing it. Convert a dungeon to DS by considering foe factor of creatures and the reality that between encounters, DS adventuring parties with a healer can top off max HP.  This can let you make encounters more dangerous.  There is a fine line between challenging and destroying the party in DS. Release enemies in waves if you are uncomfortable with what you PCs can do.

Ups, that's right.  :(
Perhaps, Google or Bing translater will help.
