You can import using standard postal mail up to AU$1000 without customs wanting to tax you GST. Amazon's cheapest S&H is standard. You can import using courier up to AU$300 (at least, I thought it was...) without customs wanting to tax you GST. Customs may subject your delivery to a standard...

Planescape: Torment - How fantasy do you like your fantasy?

Sigh. Maybe Hackmaster will do the trick as 3.x sure isn't doing it for me :p

Wow, I was planning on doing this very thing! But yeah, the magic will be an issue. I was thinking of making spell burn nonlethal (similar to the spell casting in the CRPG Betrayal at Krondor), but I haven't really thought things through nor do I have the book yet to see what consequences this...

If it's an "action" RPG, forget it. KotOR style is reasonable though.

How much was modified?

I'd prefer XML. :p But isn't relying on anything other than WotC a potential source of pain? WotC does an update and you're stuck having to wait for someone to put it into a friendly format or manually checking things. I'm pretty sure Microsoft's RTF format is not closed since I was trying to...

Hooray for the XML output! Very thoughtful. Now I can whip up something to use it when offline.

Distributons I would choose in order of preference considering your position. Suse or Mandrake (too close to call. I'd say Suse, others may say otherwise) Red Hat Knoppix Slackware I suggest trying before you start formatting, so try and use a LiveCD first to get your feet wet and see which...

Extrapolating from Ryan Dancey's explananations and other tidbits from other people in the past, it was a poor business model. The quality of boxed sets wasn't the problem, but the quantity that TSR management wanted churned out across all the live campaign settings at the time. This combined...

I'm a nobody, but your conclusion is correct. You'll have to do it yourself by either starting your own company or making it open source style. It is true that ideas are a dime a dozen. You have to remember the other cliche that says something like genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration...

I don't supposed you've ever considered doing this for the d20 Modern SRD? :heh:

I'd like to convert 2e monsters to something useable in Grim Tales (once I get GT :p). Since I'm not allowed to search these forums, has anyone got tips or guidelines? I've done a few conversions to 3e (which is helped by that old conversion guide that came with Dragon a while back), but since...

I don't suppose you have a changelog for those 3.5 datasets? Specifically, were there any data corrections (as opposed to malformed XML)?

If I remember correctly, do a global search and replace on '&' for '&' (in the reference element).
