The pictures in the PDF are pretty pixelated, even if they are only going to be used on a Web page. They aren't going to print very well, either (if someone is concerned about that). I think this is a cool idea, myself.

I've posted the 3.96 update for TableSmith to my Web site. It's not a major revision; I've enchanced the "Plural" function and added support for associative arrays. To get the update, go to http://www.mythosa.net and click on "RPG Utilities".

From what I've looked at in the World Builder Guide, it's pretty much C. You have a lot of object variable types, but you aren't really doing OOP type stuff with them. I haven't see any examples, for instance, where you call any properties or functions of any of the objects. Rather, you pass the...

Re: WAIT A MINUTE... If you're talking about the "Treasury of Archaic Names", that's been out for quite awhile. It was published by QuickLink (or RPGRealms, or somesuch). That and "Dark Tower" are the only two new JG products I'm aware of. Now that Necromancer has them, I expect they'll do a...

2003? Ack! So long to wait... :) Have there been any thoughts about doing Tekumel in d20...?

Re: Wanted: NPCGenerator+Equipment Generator My NPC Generator for TableSmith will do that, thought the equipment isn't random; rather, it's based off the canned NPCs in the DMG. Not sure that'll help, but if it would: http://www.mythosa.net/TabGallery.html Something that does both is on my...

The one thing I would be concerned about is how well StarCalc (I think that's the Star Office spreadsheet) works with VBA, if at all. Some of the Excel spreadsheets use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) for macro-type functionality or just general extension of Excel's regular capabilities. I...

I converted a handful of TableSmith tables to work on the Palm (name generators for dragons, elves, fantasy, taverns, and others). You can download them (and the util to run them) at: http://www.mythosa.net/Utils.html I had planned on doing another batch, but never got around to it (and no one...

In lieu of a DM's Screen, I use my Campaign Sage program along with a bunch of 3E charts in HTML format (I also have the spells and monsters from the SRD as well as maps and other items from my campaign in Sage). It's designed so everything is no more than three keystrokes away. I find it useful...

It's a great idea, but I don't know how well it would work in execution, mainly because scaling just the statistical information (i.e.; the NPCs, monsters, treasure, etc.) doesn't necessarily mean that the adventure will be suited for a particular level of power and the resources available to...

TOMO?

Are you trying to generate a history for a world, or maintain a journal of campaign activities, or something else...?

They also re-released (through...RPGRealms?) the "Treasury of Archaic Names". (Not d20-specific, but still a handy little book).

No problem :) I used that article myself, and remembered it was in a "standard" issue (along with a yuan-ti on the cover). Hold on...<goes back into closest, moves old 14" monitor out of the way - what am I saving that for? - moves box of Conans off of top of Dragon box...shuffles...

Actually, that system is in Dragon #259 (I didn't see anything similar in Annual #4).

I don't know of anything that shows lists, but one of my TableSmith generators has all the DMG info in a delimited file, so it wouldn't be difficult to pull it out with another utility. I think I have it in XML format as well (somewhere...). If you want the table, you can get it at...

I've posted version 3.95 of TableSmith to my web site. New features are listed below: * New functions added: Count (gives you the number of entries in a group), MinVal (returns the minimum value required to generate a particular entry), MaxVal (like MinVal, but for the maximum value), Ceil...

At mythosa.net, I've uploaded a small collection (ten) of TableSmith tables converted to work with "SmallBASIC" for the PalmOS (used on Palm Pilots, Handspring Visors, and other PDAs). They're simple name generators (not nearly as complex as Tablesmith can handle), and SmallBASIC runs rather...

Doesn't matter. People have said this same sort of thing about citing things like feats from "Sword & Fist" in their d20 products (to name one example). Whether it's a commercial product destined for hobby store shelves or a free utility downloaded from a Web site, the rules are still the same...

There was a discussion about this recently on one of the OGL lists. Basically, with monsters, unless their physical description is in the SRD, depicting them in the "WotC-style" is a violation of their IP. Obviously, this isn't going to be the case with things like skeletons or dragons, but if a...
