[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5605710, member: 58197"] Even if they figured out how to do it, it would hold little interest for me. For one thing, I hardly ever run prefab adventures; they don't figure large in my evaluation of any edition, and I know I'm not the only DM for whom this is the case. And even setting that aside--such a system could not do anything for me that I'm not perfectly capable of doing on my own. If an adventure says there's a fire giant, I can look up "fire giant" in any edition's Monster Manual and there are the stats ready to go; and from what I can see, this is basically all you're proposing. I mean, it'd be cool to have a widget that would handle it automatically and format it up nice, but it wouldn't make me radically change my buying decisions. What it comes down to is, the parts of published D&D that can be easily and automatically converted, I don't need help converting. The parts that can't be automatically converted... can't be automatically converted. Most of the important stuff is replicated in each edition anyhow. [/QUOTE]
