[QUOTE="Vuron, post: 101988, member: 14"] I'm going to post my comments made on Nutkinland for those here especially those involved in the creature conversions. "Well to be perfectly honest I believe that 90% of the reason for clamping down on the conversions is that WotC has 2 big ticket books coming (MM2 and FF) that they feel that available free conversions of thier monsters ie creature catalog and others would negatively effect sales. Considering the new materials are almost certainly conversions of 1e-2e materials plus dragon magazine and module monsters allowing free use of thier IP would be very dangerous. " I think it stands to reason that every monster from previous editions of D&D will recieve 3e treatment within the time frame of the release of MM2, FF and Monte's Vile Book. I think it can also be assumed that any monster converted will not be included in the SRD (in fact based on some rumors i doubt anything will ever be added to the SRD including DDG and ELH). I also suspect that once official stats are published any reference in any release not solely owned by WotC will be prohibited.
