This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

It was a no-brainer.

A great many people (including many on this very forum) are fond of the d20 version of the game and hoped we'd offer conversion rules.

Conversion rules for a system whose books are no longer in distribution and no longer available legally via .pdf doesn't make much sense, does it?

Quote from: Christopher Brady;886747Hmm, well, I'm glad that getting Mongoose to donate all those PDFs to the Kickstarter got people interested in backing, but...

I don't know.  I mean, I'm probably being very uncharitable here, but if the system could stand on it's own, why did they feel the need to do that?

Maybe, it's not that, maybe they just wanted to bundle both systems together, but the problem I'm seeing is that...  Am I going to be the ONLY person who thinks that?

Personally, I would have preferred if the KS (which from I could tell was going to succeed anyway) to stand on its own two feet.

I dunno.  I'm happy it got funded, I may not like the system, but doesn't mean that the game shouldn't be made.
I treat it as "extra setting material I might decide to use or not". I'm likely to never use it, but I'm also glad that people who would like to have them now have access to them:).

I'm positive I never hoped for conversion rules for d20, thank you very much;).

This.

It's really cool to offer the material and how to convert previous d20 stuff to the new system.
