While I appreciate Matthew's promise to look into it, I remain skeptical. Those of you from the UK may not know it, but my home state of Missouri in the US is known as the "Show-Me State". I need to know that I can convince my gamers to convert our existing B5 campaign from 1e to 2e. And to convince them to make the switch I need to show them a conversion document that works, unlike the dross seen at the back of the 2e book.
I understand that people are busy there, as deadlines still need to be met, but promises should be kept. That means if a company says its going to be retro-compatable then I expect it to be as promised. When the company says they will make it right, I expect to see something before a quarter of a year has passed. I'm hoping that Mongoose comes through this time.
