Update to old material
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2016 8:10 pm
I've mentioned this a couple times with my gaming group, figured I'd bring it up here:
Has the idea been floated of publishing addendum for old story/campaign material to update NPCs/items/difficulties/etc to ED4 compliance? I know that the design team is on the hook for the existing promised source material, and that's a worthwhile endeavor in its own right. However, with the wealth of published material already available, and the pain/overhead of trying to update that material for use in ED4, seems like this could be a very worthwhile service. Creating and selling/distributing addendums, rather than full updates of the original material, would simplify the level of effort: no breaking old layout, focus on what really needs to be done versus modifying fluff to justify a complete recreation of the original, etc. I'm guessing there might be some licensing problems, but I'm not a copyright/IP lawyer and can't really speak to that.
