Message: <blockquote data-quote="jaldaen" data-source="post: 4318117" data-attributes="member: 214">The only things you can truly convert over to 4e wholesale is the PI (Product Identity or "fluff"; which was not released as part of the OGL) and the non-mechanical OGC. The mechanical OGC in any converted product remains forever OGC, all you are doing is expressing the OGC in 4e mechanical terms using 4e References and creating new 4e rules to fill the gaps. This "new expression" of the OGC is not OGC and essentially becomes 4e GSC (4e Game System Content). You cannot take this content back with you if you attempt to return to the OGL. Nor can you return your PI once you convert because:This means anything you convert over to 4e via the GSL, be it PI or OGC is considered "non-returnable" to the OGL for the Licensee. However, oddly enough the OGC is still OGC and so any one else, except for the Licensee can use it, which seems odd, but there you have it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />In addition, once your PI becomes "non-returnable" to the OGL it is that way forever. No returning to the OGL for that PI or anything that Wizards of the Coast could construe as that PI.Note: IANAL.</blockquote>
