[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 8385121, member: 6688049"] Thanks Elisa, for offering to answer questions. Sorry for any snarky static here in our ENWorld community--there's always that sort o' thing. Questions for Elisa: (Though Renegade knows the IPs better than I, I'll include some reference links so that less-familiar readers could follow along.) 1. Will there be any sort of 5E two-way conversion document? Even if it's just a one-page appendix, or a web enhancement; and even if it's kind of an "eyeballed" sketchy method, it might be of interest to a lot of people. 2. What about also a Tails of Equestria two-way conversion document? :) (In collaboration with River Horse games) 3. First things first. Yet if Transformers, Power Rangers, and G.I. Joe do well, has Renegade considered adding other Hasbro licenses, such as Micronauts and Rom the Space Knight? Could the "less popular" IPs be bundled together into a Hasbro Universe RPG book?

Transformers has probably the most detailed, clear, and complex system for identifying and naming parallel timelines of any IP in the world! Does your game support multiple (or all?) Universal Streams, or is it set in a particular continuity? [URL unfurl="true"]https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Universal_stream[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://tfwiki.net/wiki/List_of_universal_streams[/URL] 5. If the game features only one Universal Stream (continuity), is that a newly amalgamated continuity crafted by Renegade Game Studios? Or does it adhere closely to the continuity of an existing Universal Stream? 6. Do you have access to all Transformers IP (e.g. cartoon, live-action films, various comic book licenses, crossovers with Star Trek, etc.)? 7. To my knowledge, Power Rangers and G.I. Joe don't have official "Universal Cluster" designations yet, from the perspective of Vector Prime's nomenclature. Could you give them designations? [URL unfurl="true"]https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Universal_cluster#Universal_clusters[/URL] 8. Since you're licensed by Hasbro, I wonder if you could sneak in an official designation for the D&D Multiverse, vis-a-vis the Transformers Multiverse?

Something like the Map of the DC Multiverse?: [URL='https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2020/01/14/unlocking-the-history-of-the-multiverse']Unlocking the History of the Multiverse[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Multiverse[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megaverse[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Omniverse[/URL] 11.
