[QUOTE="smetzger, post: 102314, member: 1230"] [b]Re: Re: Not deadly clear, rewrite the document.[/b] Well I hope they re-write the existing document before its debut on the web page. Its full of holes. What about Basic D&D? I believe there are even some Basic D&D ESDs available now. Is should be a "Conversion" policy that mentions how to deal with ESDs. I did all of my conversions from original material. Nothing to do with ESDs. The document also is written from a standpoint of adventures (module in my day). It gives an example related to an adventure conversion. Adventure conversion is probably the easiest one to comply with the rules. It should also address Monsters conversions and magic items and spells. It seems WOTC is really more concerned about CC and not so much about someone who converts an adventure, yet they address the adventure issue specifically. Now lets take the Bullywug thing. U2, has an encounter with Bullywugs. A converter would not be able to reference MoF and they would not be able to rename the creature. But one could come up with stats of Bullywigs themselves. Kind of silly. The OGL restriction of including the license agreement embedded in every file. The OGF site doesn't even comply with this. The "recently" statement should be taken out. It doesn't make sense now (my A2 conversion was posted before the MM came out). And a year from now it will make less sense. [/QUOTE]
