I use email exclusively for monitoring our forums. Consequently, I only check my PMs about once a month. The last time was mid-February. So that explains why I never got back to you. I hadn't seen this until checking the email queue now.

The original set of data we utilized was the data developed and maintained by Kuni Tetsu. He put together the initial L5R files and shepherded them for quite awhile, then his plate got too full and he handed them off to us. That's when we wrote the converter. The converter works on two separate formats, since the data from Kuni Tetus is different from the format we got from AEG. Then AEG regularly changed the format on us, just to make our lives more interesting.

I'll send you everything that I last sent to Kevin when he volunteered to take over the L5R files. You can take a look at how it's all setup and see what you can do to provide us with comparable data for the missing sets. And if it looks straightforward enough, you can even try running stuff through on your own to see if it all works.

We don't have any links on the main page of our website, but we can absolutely get your site added on the page with other key sites relating to the collectible games.

Look for that email shortly....
