[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 100723, member: 4"] That's an understatement. I can't count the times I've had to "spin positive" on something stupid/sad that's come from the WotC brass. Blech. I can understand them not wanting the full text of exisitng ESDs available in free conversions, but asking your average D&D player to wade through that legal crap and adhere to it? Unrealistic at best, hostile toward customers at worst. What's even more appalling is that WotC *wanted* conversions done by fans so there would be less of an excuse for people not to switch to 3rd Edition. Now that 3E is solidly in place, they throw up a barrier that's just big enough that your average person won't want to even bother. Clever! :( It is indeed a hard day to be a WotC fan. This plus the layoff news plus the uphill battle to get MT out the door... [/QUOTE]
