Fingers. Crossed.

Hey Everyone, Getting dragged away from Pathfinder into 5e. I have been using Herolab for character creation, and have generally enjoyed it. As I stick my pinky toe into 5e, I am worried that the SRD dataset that WoTC has allowed Herolab to use will be too limited for good character...

At last!!! WoTC has launched a comprehensive digital game aide. It works for all editions (1e through 5e) and has all the approved campaign datasets and modules. It can be used on PC/Mac, iOS and Android. They are even working on a QNX version. This one will include virtual table top play as...

Sorry if this is a repeat---but I just saw that I can "Ignore iwarrior-poet" (myself) when looking at my own posts. Best feature ever?

There seems to be a bit of news about the possibility of a digital character generator. I PRAY that WoTC gets ahead of the curve and launches an iOS and/or Android character generator at the launch of 5e. This would be ideal---particularly with a 'In-App Purchases' option that would allow for...

Without getting into the long and tawdry tale of CMP's meteoric rise and fall as a digital aide supplier for D&D---does anyone have any definitive status on the company? I was heavily invested in their 3.0/3.5 datasets and was looking forward to their much discussed Role Playing Gaming Foundry...

Stepping back into role playing with a new Pathfinder campaign. Pretty pumped about it, since I have been away from dice rolling for 3+ years now. I never really bought into 4e and enjoyed 3.5 so I am hoping Pathfinder is a good fit. The gamemaster is generally staying to the PRD, with a...

My deepest apologies if this question has been answered previously, or nixed from the forums in general. I didn't see any stickies (do these forums have stickies anymore?) addressing the topic. Does anyone know if WoTC has an approximate release date for D&D Next? Does anyone have an educated...

I suspect I will take more than a little flak for this, but from my perspective D&D Next will live or die on the basis of its digital apps (particularly iOS and Android). Why? A good digital aide will smooth the transition for new players and those like me who are hanging on to previous...

I know he had some critics---but I generally liked Andy's work at WotC. In particular I liked some of his efforts to fix my favorite (but drastically under powered) 3.0/3.5 PrC---the Dragon Disciple. I can only think that WoTC shedding its more experienced (and probably better paid) game...

I am idly speculating about getting an imac. I took the plunge to Mac migration last year when I purchased a MacBook. By and large I have not regretted it. The mac GUI is much more intuitive and MUCH more stable than any Windows machine I have ever had. Except... I miss the games. PC still has...

I have been a R.A. Salvatore fan for awhile---but am a bit concerned about how the storyline will continue after the ending of Ghost King. I did not like how 4e 'restarted' the Forgotten Realms setting. Do folks think that he will fast forward his characters 100 years to the new 4e setting? If...

Short version: I was a CMP Fanboy, but have been an active critic for awhile now. Their website looks like it is down yet again for the umpteenth time---this after a pretty sad 'News Update' that noted that one of the co-owners was leaving. RPGF, their main vaporware product, is four years...

Code Monkey Publishing is the former maker of official D+D 3.0/3.5 datasets for PCGen/E-Tools and the forthcoming RPG Toolkit (currently a vaporware product). Their website (which has not been too stable over the last two years) has been out of commission for the last week. Here it is...

Short version---I wish there was a comprehensive digital game aid that included PC builder, combat management, campaign development and mapping. I wish it was 3.5/3.75 based. Long version---After being burned by CMP (they are around 4 years late on their digital game aid product) I find I am in...

I have been looking at Paizo's Pathfinder for awhile now. At first I was very interested in it. It seemed to bring some good reforms to the 3.5 gaming system (it is dubbed 3.75). It has been billed as compatible with 3.5. paizo.com - Pathfinder® / Pathfinder Roleplaying Game However, the more I...

I am in a Forgotten Realms Campaign. Our DM has let it be known that a good deal of our campaign will be on/near Tashluta (Shining Sea area). He has also stated that a lot of our campaign will be on/near the Sea. I had been positioning my Ranger for a nasty ass Bowmen---but I am getting the hint...

Their website is down. Their owners had been increasingly rarely posting on their boards or giving updates. They are 3+ years late on producing their magnum opus project, Role Playing Gaming Foundry. Are they done? Does anyone know anything?

I am clinging on to 3.5. But if the Character Generator is slick... I might make the jump. Is it any good?

A lot of the 'roleplaying info' text assumes that you will play your character as a 'noble and good rebel'----opposed to the racial type? For instance---all the examples of playing a Drow (from the FR Player's Handbook) indicate that the PC opposes the Drow races evil tendencies. But what if you...
