Hi folks,

The FAQ said that a character conversion guide from SR3 -> SR4 would be posted on the website. A lot of Dumpshockers have expressed the opinion that since such conversion is so fraught with peril, it may never happen.

Any word from someone in a position to know? Is it still planned? Has it been started? And when might we expect it?

Or will the Powers That Be eventually just tweak and bless the best proposal they see on Dumpshock for such a conversion?
