Who's got those old conversions?

[trentonjoe]

I was flipping through the conversion library today and did not find the slaver series A1-4. Actually I only need 1-3, I always thought A4 was pretty silly.

Anywho, there not there! They used to be. Like a million years ago, but they were there.

ANyone willing to share their updated version with me?

I did a Google search and I found some HTML versions of the convversion documents posted. They look like the versions from the conversion library.

Well, the hotmail account bounced back. Let's hope one of the other ones works!

What happened is several conversions that were not compliant with WotC's d20 Conversion regulations were taken off.

Several modules were deemed 'non-compliant' perhaps because the author had taken too much liberty in the conversion, or simply didn't use the required format.

I think part of the problem was that some people were including serious portions of the original modules. Whereas WOTC intended the conversions to be "Take the three ogres from room A16 and give them these stats" (rather than the original text from the module).

Not quite. WotC suddenly changed their policy, rendering hundreds of previously-compliant conversions suddenly non-compliant. The change was such that there were now *no* compliant conversions.

The Conversion Library had to be scrapped completely (over two years' of work) and I really lost all desire to start it all over again, especially considering that WotC are in a position to do the same thing again in two years' time.

The current library (started sometime late last year) has a few conversions in it which have been done since, and which *are* compliant with WotC's current policy.

As you can see, this is a very sore point.
