That's probably partially my fault, but I can't really speak to what other teams can provide. A general thread of uses and ideas for this type of software is very useful though, and I think this thread has substantially improved the chances that you'll see at least some of the ideas actually...

There isn't. This has been something that has been on my mind for a while. Honestly, PCGen gets way more love then GMGen. Especially with the large architecture changes needed in PCGen, it's hard to really dedicate time to GMGen. But, I'll see what I can do about adding this sooner then...

I'm suggesting that books that you can get data for give you more potential uses then books for which you cannot get data. Paper or not, using templates, and building special monsters is an example of the kind of complicated task that computers are better at then people. Never mind just...

Might I suggest that the people with the power to change this ultimately are you the players? If you start telling companies that you won't buy books that you can't get data for, that is the only way they will ever open up. IMHO, most of the WotC sources beyond the SRD are actually fairly...

OK, what it can do now is the following: 1) players can connect to the gm's 'server' 2) connected players (and the gm)can send notes to one another (iirc, it CCs the GM on all notes). And yes, this piece of functionality kind of sucks presently. 3) The players can also use the die roller (it...

Yeah, I completely understand, I can really only speak to my project though :) Devon

I'll cover Campaign, Encounter Management and Mapping on this one So different people will have different answers to this one. My current goal is to make the heavy lifting part of pcgen into a library that can then be included in other applications. I think it's better to have multiple apps...

Sorry, I've been busy (we are actually actively working on some changes to the website based on feedback from these threads, we can only work on so many things at once). So, your feedback line by line (and I'm going to break this into multiple posts based on each section): This is really two...

Actually, we fixed that specific one. you can use LG, NG, etc. I understand your point, but in this specific instance, we fixed it.

You can subscribe to the developers list at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pcgen-devel After you are set up there, we can get you sourceforge access and get you some more explanation of how things work. I agree that this is now getting off topic of this thread enough that we...

Just so it's clear, what you are asking for is software that doesn't ask for anything from you, and a company that sits behind it who will solve your problems for you. We don't make money from you. We work on this program for our enjoyment, and as a gift to the community. If the value of our...

Well, so long as you don't need new books, this is less of an issue then you might think. Before CMPs support contract ends, we should be at a permanently supportable data definition, that will be either still used in pcgen for it's supported future, or will offer a convertor. your existing...

So the architecture document is still in process: http://www.geocities.com/thpr/CDOM_Arch_0.1.pdf Let us know what you think, we are still very much in the request for commentary phase on this. Devon

This is a very reasonable suggestion, and we probably could build a PCGen Lite that only did say SRD generation, and made it easy for a person who understood it to move to the full fledged app. The biggest problem presently inside the code is that the needed separation between the gui and the...

I hear you, and I do want to gain the benefits of criticism here. I just wanted to point out that to some degree, what people are asking for (a pcgen that is as simple as say one of the character generator spreadsheets, or some of the other software out there) is not really possible, given the...

Yes, the object model is a complete mess. We have been designing a new backend for the app that should resolve most of this. You are right, java isn't the problem, the code is the problem. That being said, PCGen is *way* faster then it was 2 years ago. We have been fixing and polishing the...

I just want to point out here, PCGen may be very complicated, but I think it's fair to say that what it's trying to do is *absurdly* complicated. If people want a character generator for just the SRD, our solution may well be far to complicated. But we didn't set out to create a character...

I was in the community at the time, not in the leadership, but I was in the community. WotC approached Bryan at GenCon '02, and WotC *asked* us to go OGL. We did nit receive a Cease and Desist. We did not receive legal threats. PCGen had reached the level of market penetration that we were...

Todd, this is bs, and you know it. You were here at the time, and I was too, and the fair use argument collapsed into doing what was requested of us in precisely the *next* major public release of PCGen. The last release of pcgen with unpermissioned files (except for accidents that were...

PCGen, the premier Open Source D20 RPG character generation application has released it's new 5.8 version. The 5.8 release of PCGen comes from over a year of hard work adding new features such as the ability to preview characters, a new plugin system, and the ability to use pcgen to run games...
