[QUOTE="Mach2.5, post: 1244987, member: 12834"] Not that I really think that this was your intention, but I can see that you've never really tried to fully update a setting comprehensively and completely (and not the lame type of conversion you would come up with using WOTC's little conversion guide either). If it really were that simple, there would already be dozens of conversions of each of the 'dead world' settings that TSR produced. As it stands, that is certainly not the case. Most conversions are trite, unbalanced, unweildy things that I wouldn't allow into my game if someone paid me to play them (well, okay, I'm lying about the payment thing, but you get the idea). I'm hesitant about the Planewalker.com conversion, but so far I like the stuff they've come up with. As for the petition, good luck, if that's really what you want. Personally, I'd rather see WOTC keep their hands off of what the public currently has access to for free. I sunk a few hundred into the PS line (missing only 2 books) and would rather not sink a few hundred more into it when Planewalker.com is making a (hopefully) decent conversion for no charge except the cost to print out a few choice pages or two. As for a 3rd party publisher getting access to the PS line, there's little chance of that. PS doesn't have enough market appeal to warrent the cost of the liscense and the hassles of having WOTC publish the core book. You would be far better off doing 2 things: starting a letter writing campaign similar to the one being done by the fans of Greyhawk (although it has currently netted them only a stale negative reply from WOTC) or by contributing something to the PS community that is currently working on their conversion by offering critiques and contructive criticism.
