Not much to add beyond the fact that DF sets are very cool but costly :) I did want to point out that they recently came out with an "Advanced Builders Set", which contains pieces like partial walls, partial corners, 30' long (i.e.; 6 MasterMaze squares) halls, etc. If you end up using the...

I've been trying to figure out how to do some simple tables in eTools, but I'm not sure if I'm just missing something or if the table editor simply doesn't capable of doing what I'd trying to do. Here's a very simple table I put together in TableSmith; it's actually a stripped-down version of a...

That's a good basic one, too, though I really need to update that, since the "CC~" you see is no longer supported. Originally that was used to capitalize what was returned from a group call, but that's been replaced by a function ("Cap"). "CC~" still works, but it will be going away in the...

Sounds like a bad first example :) The default TS installation gives you a number of sample tables. Take a look at the following tables in the "Tables" folder: Ruins (in "Adventuring"), Shakespearean Insults (in "Miscellaneous"), and Orc Names (in "Names"). These are all good examples of very...

I'm not sure what you mean by this: Generating random items from a list is something TS has always done. You don't need to worry about things like XML or some of the other advanced features to do something like that. If all you want is random items from a list, it's as simple as doing...

Not really maps per se, but graphics via HTML. Since the results TableSmith generates are displayed in an HTML window (a Web browser imbedded in the program), you can do some "advanced" things if you know HTML. Maps (using "geomorphs") are one thing, but you could do others as well. For...

I'll do my best :) There are a few ways you could do this. One would be to have a group that has both options, and call that group, like so: ;Caller 1,[LookGrp] ;LookGrp 1,Look 1,Looker Another would be to use the "If" function: 1,{If~{Dice~1d2}=2?Look/Looker} or...

For those who are interested, I've uploaded a new version of my calendar generator for TableSmith; you can get the ZIP file at http://www.mythosa.net/TabGallery.html (look for the file "Calendars"). There are only two files in there - one for Earth and one for Mythosa (my campaign world). I...

The new versions of TableSmith (v4) and Campaign Sage (v3) have been uploaded to www.mythosa.net. TableSmith's new functionality is listed below: Ordinal function - Feed it a number and get back an ordinal string (i.e.; passing in "3" returns "3rd") While function - Similar to the "Loop"...

They're ready to go, but I have one other thing I need to take care of before I upload them. Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday...

Are the steps for Monster Advancement stored in the Access .mdb file, or elsewhere? The reason I ask is that I was trying to ramp up a Chimera to "Huge" (14-27 HD), but the only option available to me in the program is "Large" (10-13 HD). The MM lists both, but eTools is only showing me one. If...

Re: Re: Re: RPG Software Supporting eTools Format Thanks! Keep an eye out this weekend; I'm planning on releasing TableSmith 4.0 (and Campaign Sage 3.0).

I'm not big on copying stuff to the clipboard without direct user intervention, so I probably wouldn't be doing this. But it's a simple matter of copying whatever is in the results window (my menu doesn't support "ctrl-A" or "ctrl-C", but that's because the results window itself does). I could...

Good idea. Thanks for the tip ;)

I couldn't read your mind from your post; it sounded like you were asking if the poster wanted to compete with the Core Rules CD. Why would anyone want to do that? Don't know; don't care. :) If that's the case, I wouldn't think they'd be so specific as to ask about exactly what WotC charged in...

As the subject says. Our group primarily plays D&D3, though occasionally we'll break from that and play something else, usually a board/strategy game (such as Advanced Civilization, Settlers of Catan, Risk 2210, etc.). Specifics: - At the beginning of a new campaign with characters around 9th...

I doubt it - Evermore is the company that did the Core Rules for WotC (http://www.evermore88.com/news.shtml). Which makes the question that much more curious.

I've been considering it for TableSmith, but I'm not sure what purpose it would serve. That is, I don't know exactly what importing eTools data would do for TS. Perhaps better XML support so you could display NPC or monster stats you generate in a TS random table? (I know you can do random...

Probably not enough to exceed the bandwidth limit for free sites. 1 GB/month seems to be the standard, and even with a lot of pages, graphical maps, etc., you'll probably be safe. Personally, my usage is between 2 and 2.5 GB per month, but that's because of the gaming programs I have for people...

It might not fall in your price range, but I would recommend Doteasy for anyone looking for a good, reliable host. I switched to them after Crosswinds start doing pop-up ads (and subsequently screwing up my pages) and have had no complaints. You can't get PHP and MySQL for $10/month, but you can...
