I've seen v 1.0 and v 1.01 of the DnD Coversion pdf... I was wondering if, with all the new stats starting to come out (starting, I think, with Monsters of the Multiverse and so forth), whether there has been an updated coversion manual created.
With Honor Among Thieves coming out, shortly as well as the new Baldur's Gate video game, there is bound to be a renewed interest in The Sword Coast, specifically the cities of Neverwinter and Baldur's Gate. I want to convert the old 4e Neverwinter Campaign Setting into 5e... as well as some of the older FR things, to use, in addition to the already published 5e stuff on the Sword Coast... eventuallty moving back to the Moon Sea.
Are you talking about the conversion guidance put out by WotC? Since MMM was considered an advanced look at the next edition or instance of D&D and the One D&D stuff coming out now is playtest material, I don't think we'll be seeing any official conversion guidance until maybe the new core books come out in 2024, if we do at all.
To date, WotC has said and I don't think they've backed from the assertion that the new D&D will be "backward compatibile" with 5e, so I don't know if they'll really put much into further conversion docs.
If you're interested in Forgotten Realms for 5e, there's a lot of DMs Guild content covering ground from past editions, a lot of which has OG creators like Ed Greenwood affiliated with them. Of course they're not "official official" but might help guide some of own conversion work.

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
I've been poking at 4e->5e conversion, but in general conversions between editions work better with "look at the way it worked before and come up with something thematically similar", rather than literal conversion (the literal conversions were for "here's an interesting tactical puzzle, can we implement it in 5e"; interesting tactical puzzles were something 4e specialized in).
I'll look at DM's Guild, though I was looking to do the work, myself, as I have several Homebrewed adventures created, as well, that I was hoping to convert and put together in some setting or another

Any thoughts or resources?
