Message: <blockquote data-quote="3catcircus" data-source="post: 1578235" data-attributes="member: 16077">Well - I, for one, don't care what the 1st/2nd -> 3.x conversions are mechanically (yeah, yeah, my arguments a few weeks ago regarding mechanics notwithstanding...), so long as the flavor still exists - that is the reason why I like both the d20 Arabian Adventures incarnation of the Sha'ir as well as the recent Dragon (315?) incarnation of the Sha'ir.  It is also why I *don't* like the genericization (is that even a word?) of stuff in FR books during their conversion from 3.0 to 3.5.I think that all any of us is asking for is a direct port of pre-existing classes and races to a 3.x incarnation for the old OOP campaign settings.  So, for example - I would expect, for example, a Maztica conversion *only* to cover the regionalization of the various peoples (non-humans as well as humans (Dog People, Azuposi, Nexalan, Payit, etc.)), the Eagle and Jaguar Knights and the Pluma and Hishna spellcasters, the Maztican deities (or aspects of Faerunian deities), and the types of spells and equipment found in the area.  I don't need a reinvention of the entire campaign setting (that's why I bought the boxed set, and why you can also download it for free.)  I *do* need a mechanic for the above named stuff (for example, perhaps make the Pluma and Hishna spellcasters Prestige classes based on the rogue.)  A nice new map would be nice but not essential.Actually - since we are on the subject - I still find the FR Interactive Atlas and the FR Atlas (the book) to be the best overall maps around.  I know that if WoTC or someone else were to spend the time and effort to compile a new atlas (in any form), I'd buy it.  I'd prefer the atlas be electronic - I've got CC2 and it makes it easy to zoom, hide, whatever.</blockquote>
