The D&D Monster Conversion Thread

[trechriron]

First, this is awesome.

Some of the monsters (like the beholder) seem to have a full description copied from somewhere. That may be a "summary" but it doesn't look like it. How do you feel about users editing contributions?

Some of the monsters are missing DF stats (like combat rating).

I would HIGHLY recommend you increase the font size on all legal disclaimers. It's more honest (IMHO).

Also, I suggest putting a SJ Games GURPS banner with link to SJGames on the sidebar. It would look snazzy and be a nice "shout out" (also drawing some attention to the disclaimer). I was going to edit for you, but I did not have permission. My username is trechriron if you would like some help with admin/structure/main content.

I have no problems with it. If an edit seems inappropriate, we can always change it back later via the History.

Calculating Combat Rating is a major effort which not all contributors might be willing to face. But that's why this is a wiki - anyone can contribute!

I disagree. The legal disclaimers are important, no doubt - they should be there, and visible.

Still, they represent "nonfunctional" aspects of the pages which won't be of immediate use to most users, and thus I think it's okay if they are in a smaller font. The WotC disclaimer, for instance, needs to be included in every D&D conversion-related page.

You need to join the wiki before I can give you admin rights.
