[QUOTE="jester47, post: 102068, member: 2238"] I agree with you. I think that is what I am saying. OGL stuff can only be stuff in the SRD and stuff you make up. And it has always been that way. However, people have always misunderstood it. But my argument is that notes on conversions can give academic references (that is page number and book where x can be found) without a problem. It is when you convert the phantom spider from "shattered circle" and you post the new stats that you should have to say "this monster is WotCs when they publish their version, use it." I think this is what their conversion document was meant to cover but the author is confused with the OGL, ESDs, and conversion notes. What they need to understand: Conversions have very littke to do with ESDs. The OGL was never part of the conversion note movement. What we need to understand: WotC is the only one that can distribute new copies of old out of print modules, and the only ones that can distribute thier stuf fin electronic form. We cannot convert a monster and put it in our OGL products saying "this is a monster converted from xyz module," we have to make our own monsters if they are not in the SRD. That is all they are saying. I have stated my case that the document needs to be rewritten elsewhere. Aaron Webb Seattle WA [/QUOTE]
