Are the save files in readable XML format? No binary blobs in it? If so I plan on doing something about populating my favorite character sheet from it.

Could be my imagination... but for some reason I remember this being the case? That they planned to make it able to populate other sheets or soemthing through XML? Again I could be just imagining things though.

Okay guys, I'm able to download the first 594kb before Firefox tells me that the download is complete. What gives?

Microsoft doesn't like Firefox. If you're downloading from their site, use Internet Explorer. Sorry.

I remember it as well. Wonder if it's compressed XML?

Anyone see a way to change how many points you're allowed to use in point buy? I was just trying to put together a character I'm playing in a game that uses 25 points, and I don't see a way to do that.

First, what operating system are you running? (Windows XP or Vista? 32-bit or 64-bit (probably 32-bit if you're not sure))

Next, do you have .Net 3.0 and 3.5 installed? Go to this folder:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework

And you should see a folder there called "v3.5."

The error you're getting makes me suspect that not having the correct .Net framework installed is the problem.

14 characters created and counting. No Barbarian though, and that is truly annoying. No dragon 368 for that matter. I wonder if they are going to update the beta with the new Dragon mags and most importantly Martial Power. The value of this thing as it stands now is much lower if we're going to have to wait for the full version for Martial Power support.

Anyone get this up and running on a Mac without dual-booting into Windows?

Runs fine on my Macbook when using a windows XP virtual machine in Fusion. Only problem is the lack of being able to shrink the vertical screen size in order to fit on this small LCD
