You wouldn't necessarily expect scripting if you don't do any in-game management. Cobbling stats together for static printouts is generally fairly achieveble using non-scripted data entries (RPM calls them "modifiers" and PCGen calls them "tags"). Its only when you start to do things such as...

Thats correct. The registered version allows you to import, and the 3.5 rules are a dataset import. Its a pretty simple step from 3.0 to 3.5, though. Moving to 3.5, there are some additions, a few removal, and some name changes to things such as feats, skills an classes, but its all pretty...

RolePlayingMaster will do all that for you, and a whole lot more. Its often seen as been a specialist in-game DM app because of its strong commitment to that difficult task, but its very much a strong PC/NPC/monster generator, with all the flexibility of different setting/genre datasets, 3.5...

You should be fine. In complete honesty, I don't have an exact mental picture of what you described, but you can certainly control whether a grid will rezise itself, or allow automatic resizing. In additional of have full paragraph control (and of your grid is placed in a paragraph, as well as...

It got faster too. :)

I appreciate that post, Soulcatcher. I feel a warmer tone there. I also agree that proceeding along polite grounds is the way to go. I don't, however, agree with the "go open source or we shame you" approach, though. PCGen is a significant piece of work, but it certainly has its limitations...

I didn't think you'd be able to resist that one. If I recall, Andrew (Wizards) did initially confirm that they require "human readable". I did see the mini apps you posted, and (with all due respect ;) ), I think that Wizards would stamp all over a program that they considered worth their...

There seems to be some confusion here on what the actual rules are. Before I get into it, so you don't misinterpret where I'm coming from, I'll re-iterate that I've never personally used PCgen info for RoleplayingMaster imports, and I don't think that the RPM community that has created many...

Just thought I'd tell you about the latest advanced wordprocessing available in RolePlayingMaster. At last, you can use an RPG-dedicted program, AND have all the control you need to produce the highest quality output. Its an awful lot like Word, with an incredible degree of control on stuff...

That certainly wouldn't apply to using any CMP datasets in another program. CMP (I think it was Mynex) stated on their web-site that people are not paying twice for their RPG material (once for the books, and again for a CMP dataset) - which is a very common complaint about the datasets being...

RolePlayingMaster You're welcome to try out RolePlayingMaster for 3.5 You'll find it particularly easy to switch back and fourth between 3.0 and 3.5 (with a simple ReCalculate of PCs/creatures), and may also find that it contains vitually all you need for 3.5, if you only have the 3.0 books ;)...

Still nothing, except that CMP confirmed that they have the rights to continue with the devlopment of ETools. I can't imagine Fluid proceeding without the character generator that they originally created (ETools).

I just reread this bit... If the answer is: "WotC insist that their datasets are only usable to PCGen, so there's nothing we can do about it". ... then fine. That's the answer! ;) I may have got thrown of course a bit by what seemed like your personal decision to perhaps encrypt. If its...

Karianna made a statement about "datasets only have right to be in PCGEN", which seems very odd, and I queried her on it. No big deal. But how a user uses the datasets is the issue. What you're talking about is forcing forcing users to use the data in a particular way (ie via PCGen). If CMP...

I've been getting feedback for along while about how powerful the RPG features of RolePlayingMaster are. I'm also aware, however, that despite on-going improvements, some have still found RPM a daunting program to use. I'm very pleased to announce that I've finally purchased a couple of crucial...

Karianna, Are you saying that if somebody purchases a dataset from CMP, they are restricted to not being able to use it in anything but ETools/PCGen? That seems like an unreasonable and restricted trade practice. Surely, if I pay for a CMP dataset, I can use it in any program that is able to...

Cross-referencing via hyperlinks is good, and you'll find that you can do this most usefuly in RPM within the Campaign Encyclopaedia, and with adventure details (both of which support rich-text wordprocessing with links. I also recommend RPM's other methods of making required info instantly...

RolePlayingMaster You're welcome to download the 3.5 dataset for RolePlayingMaster .

That's nice for you if it works, but I'm not sure how useful such simple tools really are - though can always opt to play your game at a very simple level, or work yourself much harder in game preparation and play than you need to. For me, one of the biggest issues is playing with "cardboard...

Re: Re: What about the Monkeys? Well, I just hope that you don't somehow get shafted in a deal between Wizards and Fluid. It seems unlikely that Fluid could proceed without special license from Wizards - and you can bet that they'd like to use the ETools code that they created as part of...
