    RPGXplorer?

    I've decided to wait for the demo before ordering. If it can do what they claim, then I have no problem missing out on the preorder discount and paying the full $30. Better that than wasting $24 on dud software. Personally I think their business strategy is fine. It's not like they're...

    Half-Life 2: Anyone played it?

    I thought it rocked. As soon as I saw the swamp boat level, I was hooked. It seemed each level introduced another new game play element that impressed me. I especially enjoyed the last level. I played it on Hard the first time, so I haven't gone back and played it again. I would if I had...

    Your screen resolution (for a RPG website)

    768x1024 on my tablet in portrait mode. 1600x1200 on my desktop in landscape.

    RPGxplorer

    I'd rather them keep prices low and make a bigger profit margin by cutting out the middle man, so I don't mind purchasing a download only version. I'd probably change my tune the first time my computer crashed and I lost the software tho. :p

    RPGxplorer

    I understand comparing the price to other char gens out there. But I tend to compare software to the cost of a typical PC game (~$50) to gauge its pricing, since that's what I usually buy. Anything above that I'd consider premium for this type of software. And I'd happily pay a premium if it...

    I don't agree with this statement. $30 is hardly premium pricing. As to whether its worth $30 or not, I'd have to check out the demo.

    RPGxplorer

    I've been checking them out since I saw their ad in Dungeon. It has a modern looking UI. I like that. Its a windows app and even uses the .net framework, which I also like. They won't have psionics or epic levels in the initial release, but supposedly they will go in a later release. So far...

    Buying a used hard drive

    The hard drive is the component most likely to break in your computer. I'd spend the extra money and buy a cheap, new one. Who knows what's wrong with a used one?

    Races of Eberron *Update - Couple of folks have it - Ask questions here*

    Quick question for Keith (or anyone else with a better grasp of Eberron). I have a player who wants to multiclass into Recaster (awesome class, btw): http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/iw/20050407b&page=3 However, he doesn't meet the requirements because he's human. Is there any...

    Charles Ryan speaks - Fantastic Locations

    I agree here. I think WOTC employs some of the best artists in the market. I'd like to see some ultra-high quality adventures filled with great art and maps.

    ENWorld Adventure Path - Update

    Any plans for including projector-ready maps or graphics? When you originally proposed the project I got the impression that you might be able to pull together enough resources to add extra goodies. And seeing how the projector thread was going strong at the time, I hoped it would include maps...

    Why's it so hard to create a character generator that rocks?

    1. I don't think you necessarily have to move away from an OOP approach (d20 elements as objects). However, it needs to be able to accept new content without requiring a re-compile. I believe Andargor(?) spoke of that problem long ago. Perhaps if the objects shared a common Interface, you...

    Why's it so hard to create a character generator that rocks?

    I like your approach of putting the rules in the data, which effectively represents the open content in a human- and app-readable file. However, you go on to say that some mechanics need to be hardcoded in the app (for example, how to roll 1d8+1). I wonder if that programming logic must also be...

    What is your favorite D&D monster?

    Behir - a slithering reptile with multiple legs that breathes lightning and can swallow whole. Fell in love with this thing when I first saw it in Lost Caverns of T. The 3ed picture doesn't do it justice however. Annihilator - from the Underdark book I believe. Rust monster's big brother that...

    Open Source d20 API/Engine

    I liked the "sheerest nonsense" quote in the last post. That was money. haha yeah.. you were pretty opinionated in that one. Come to think of it, there were a lot of strong opinions in that thread. Good luck to those pursuing the open source engine. It's interesting to follow.

    The PSP - key to mass market PDF RPG gaming?

    A buddy of mine at work bought a play station portable. He was playing the spiderman 2 movie on it. I was surprised at how many pixels are packed onto that little screen. It looks great. But I don't think the PSP will be the device that does anything significant to PDF RPG gaming, not with...

    Getting Back Into Gaming

    Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine are great resources. They're currently running these 1 page articles in Dragon every month spotlighting each core class. We restarted our game recently after about an 8 month hiatus and the guys really liked those articles. Dungeon's been expanded to...

    Do your PCs have homes?

    I'm DMing a game with 7 players now. This is my first campaign where the PCs had a plausible need for a base of operations. They've been hired as an expedition team for a remote wilderness (actually an ocean) and the house is located in a port city on a centrally located island. I was in a...

    What 8th level Wizard spells would you prepare

    I'm surprised Moment of Prescience didn't score better, considering its utility and extremely long duration. But maybe I play my spellcasters too defensively. ;)
