[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7900260, member: 42582"] WotC owns thousands, maybe millions, of pages of IP. And thousands of lines of statblocks. They are not going to convert them all to 5e. And for most of them - as I've posted in this and the other thread - the "conversion" required is trivial. So why would WotC waste its time on it? They will publish stuff that actually has a significant market [I]and[/I] grows their "brand" in the way they want it to. For what it's worth, I disagree with both these contentions. When I ran 4e Dark Sun it was nothing like Arabian Nights. And Healing Surges just played their normal function in 4e play. In 2nd ed AD&D Dark Sun characters still had hit points and healing magic. I want to know how Chris Claremont would have resolved his X-Men storylines if he'd had the chance. But if the commercial publishers don't publish it, then we just have to use our own imaginations.
