[QUOTE="Vascant, post: 3241722, member: 13927"] PCGen only stopped when WotC Lawyers told them, not users or any "community". Ironic, Paul King is usually much faster at correcting some false information from being stated. (Note: I was staying out of this until now) While you say "blatantly", I like to think I have been honest and open about what I am doing. I have also checked and double checked the legal aspects of Evolution, why waste months and years of time just to find out it is illegal? As I told Paul King, my goal is not to get into the business of selling datasets.. I will leave that to other companies. My goal and focus is to find a way to allow users to create data faster and easier then anyone else has before. As many users of NPC Designer know, I love giving users a choice, I even created the output format so they can move the information easier to their desired applications of choice. Am I leveraging perhaps the largest source of d20 data available to the industry, yes. Have I been respectful and asked for permission, yes. This some how dropped between the cracks last July. Now have asked again and been told to wait... Have I answered every question given to me by PCGen, yes. The point is I have tried to be respectful of PCGen and the work from many users since you first asked me to email you. Not because of what your "community" might say or do but because that's how I am. To be honest, there is no such thing as a bad press. [/QUOTE]
