[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 6736881, member: 18182"] Having conversion guidelines for 5E is nice, but hardly essential to enjoying the current edition. I can see why this was a low priority for WotC and got bumped for other more important projects when they temporarily suffered a reduction in manpower. For those who don't care for the document, in part or whole, that's fair enough. It was definitely going to be one of those things where no matter what WotC did, some folks would love it and others would not. I've got my nitpicks too. But for those whining, "Well, it's about time!" or "THIS is what we've been waiting for?" and so on . . . . get a grip! WotC was under no obligation to provide this type of document to us, they haven't done so for each prior edition, and again, having this is nice, but hardly necessary. When WotC lost staff, even only for a few months, they had to revise their priorities and it makes perfect sense to me that this document fell to the wayside in front of stuff that would actually bring in revenue. I'm very thankful that WotC didn't can the idea altogether and kept the conversion guidelines on the "to do" list, finally delivering them to us! I'm very pleased with the support we've gotten for this edition of the game, and WotC's got my support for continuing on with the current release/support schedule! Thanks Mearls and crew! [/QUOTE]
