Or at least in a roll-out of months, rather than years.If even only one ORC-aligned game system converted nearly all of the existing OGC which is posted at those existing archive sites, it would be such an unprecedented foundation. Not even PF2 has done that.That would be huge foundation for receiving a massive influx of rebel ORCs who are coming out of the gigantic D&D Empire. The fully-converted system would serve as a very robust resource for converting all their wild and wonderful species and class features, feats and spells which they'll be bringing over from DMs Guild, D&D Beyond Homebrew, etc.If there are concerns that the massive army of convertors might not convert things in a totally balanced way, then the material could be considered 'provisional', and not yet compliant for organized play, until fully vetted by each company's in-house design team, over time.2) Beyond that one fully-converted system, it would be a wonderful camaraderie-building feature for two or more ORC systems (e.g. PF2, AGE, BRP, DCC, and A5E) to have also converted all the stuff, and for their online archive pages to be hyperlinked to each other, for each feature, on a page-by-page basis. So as to aid in easy character conversion between systems.In the ORC age, it could become customary to convert our characters into and out of multiple game systems at the drop of the hat. So that we are equipped to jump in and play at any ORC-allied tables. Once it is all lined up page-by-page, someone (or the companies themselves) could feasibly produce multi-system converter apps, for converting characters, monsters, spells, etc.This would be a realization of the Envoy vision of WOTC founder Peter Adkison, for which in an previous dark age, he suffered attack.</blockquote>
