Well, then you just hope that the Mono Projects and related projects get WPF ready for Linux... Doesn't look like that's moving fast, though.

They fixed the issue of Dual Strike and Twin Strike not showing off-hand attack and damage. The only problem is that the Double weapons are counted as a single weapon which is an issue for the Urgosh.

This 5 update thing is going to irk me.
I have 5 players in one game and others that I share with. We didn't see any sort of internet connection when we first had the beta so I found a couple of players to go in on the subscription.
Well, good thing I've only found two or three other people to join me SO FAR!
Considering the game is made to run with five players and a DM, you'd think they'd allow more than 5 updates a month.

Sorry, I just grabbed the first Virtual Machine google told me about. I doubt that there are 0 virtual machines that work.
I did some analysis to see what features of WPF would be required for the app to work, and unfortunately it looks like there is no shortage of calls to Win32 API and Windows libraries mixed into the .NET code. If you want this app to work on other platforms you are going to need alot more than just WPF (wine should do the trick though).
It is a shame they didn't build it on Silverlight which would at least have support for Mac OS X.

I'm curious about people sharing the subscription... I wanted to do this but I wasn't sure if it was against TOS or not.
That said, I also wonder if you carefully watch the directory before updates (maybe do a dir > foo.txt or something, or make a copy) and after updates, and see if you can figure out which data files changed. Then go over to your other PC which has the program installed but not updated and try copying the data files. Of course, this also may be against the TOS, but uh, you'd only do this as a way of backing up your files in case you needed more than 5 updates in a single month for your personal use, because y'know, you have 3 home desktops, 2 laptops, and a work computer (where you actually have permission to install D&DI apps?
). Not to mention all the virtual machines.

So you breach the terms of service and you are concerned that they don't let you breach them enough?

Exactly.
I skimmed through the terms of service, and I didn't see a breach. Then again, I really only skimmed in the sense that I used word finder to try and find some keywords.

I've been considering looking into this. I figure it's all possible, just not easy.

Is it a breach of the terms of service to purchase a copy with 4 friends and all 5 of you use it? Because I thought that was exactly what this whole "5 updates" thing was supposed to facilitate.
I completely understand the position that 6 updates instead of 5 would have made more sense, especially since the "standard party" is now 1 DM and 5 players.
On the other hand, the way I'm reading how this works, so long as each person doesn't mind sitting a month out once every 6 months, it's not like you couldn't share the updates with 6 people; you'd just have to trade who missed a month each month. Or you could share a subscription with 30 people, so long as you only want to update twice a year.
Dibs on the month the PHB2 is released.
