    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    Nah, I got ITCK for $5. But that was right around its initial release date. Arnix (tm)

    Anthony Valterra 11/14 clarification on last nights post

    The expectations were to fix bugs, not add new features. Thats one of the major requests for e-tools. People who see new functionality added, while known bugs are not addressed will become even more disgruntled. The majority of the posts that I have seen were flames on E-Tools, whether they...

    Anthony Valterra 11/14 clarification on last nights post

    Question: If you are run over by a car and every bone in both your feet are shatterd, then the doctor says "Hey, your two pinkie toes are healing fine" would you be happy?

    What kind of Sales can you expect from PDF?

    I figure its time to hear from me. I currently am not a d20 publisher, though that is in the works now, but I do work for a print/online publishing company. I have been toying with many ideas on how to do a couple of things with pdfs. A major concern for me is printing speed. Something I have...

    Creatures in D20 Modern SRD...

    So, is anything in the SRD usable by those using the MSRD? Or are they mutually exclusive? Arnix (tm)

    Mongoose Publishing Questions

    Slayers guide to dragons was very good (There are posted reviews of it, so no need for repeating). But I am a huge fan of almost all of Gygax's works (I may be the only person to buy Dangerous Journeys). I am waiting on the Quint. PsyWar, which I have on order. The Quint. Fighter is pretty...

    Your first min-max trick with d20 Modern

    But, the newest arrows are reusable, so less need to be produced or bought. Most of the time you can reuse your aluminum, steel tipped arrows.

    D20Modern - Harry Houdini shafted!

    He also had locks with hidden compartments with the key inside. Thus the DC of 35 is probably correct. Though I do know a guy who broke police issue cuffs with sheer strength, but that was merely the chain linking them together, not the actual wrist clamps.

    D20Modern - Harry Houdini shafted!

    Um... I hate to be the one to break it to you, but most of the "handcuffs" that magicians escape from are props. Cleverly hidden, but props. Those that don't use props, have small hands and large wrists. Watch some of those "Behind the magic" shows.

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    No, there may be little reason, other than compliance to sql standards. But MS complaince to standards is another issue. I mention the change simply on the basis that most of the people I have met who do free development for software despise MS and would remove MS portions as their first order...

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    Wow, sounds like you have dealt with the company I work for's help desk. At least until we created forms for them to fill out with a list of questions to ask.

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    Actually, I think they got around this by seperating the GPL and OGL items. The GPL is the code, which simply reads data, a glorified parser with a dislay window if you will, and interprets it. The OGL section is the lst files, which are completely human readable and modifiable. Either can be...

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    I think you missed sections 3 and 5 (you quote parts of 1 and 2 above). Section 4 deals with exceptions for NPO's and Free Commercial Licensing so is irrelevent for open source. 3) Commercial Use: If app is not open source or under special permission "If your application is NOT licensed under...

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    I didn't see the Licensing agreement on mysql.org or mysql.com but did see a mention that it falls under the GPL. If I understand correctly, that means what I mentioned above. That may be what they mean when they say you "License" it from them. They can revoke your license if you do not...

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    I don't belive so. Last time I looked, it appeared that to distribute MySql with your code, you had to distribute the MySql source, your source, and any linking source. To do otherwise in in violation of its "licensing". See the court case (name paraphrase) MySql vs Nusphere. Similar to...

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    You are correct. There are differences between "coders" and "engineers". Usually they are very different in their approach to software development. However, there are more than enough companies out there that have a large proportion of their engineering staff that are gamers. The next step...

    eTools Patch and Source Code

    As a gamer who is a programmer (not a programmer who picked up gaming), I think that the approach to e-tools was wrong. They hired a group of non-gamers to write the code. If you look at the successful 3rd party software out there, you will see that the majority of them are written by gamers...

    Displacement vs. Sneak Attack

    You can sneak attack a displaced person. The sneak attack will suffer the 50% miss chance like a normal attack would.

    Fluid's Boards Down

    I have seen the thing thatw as e-tools. I have attempted to use the thing that was e-tools. Am I glad that I checked a friend's copy before I spent my cash on the thing that was e-tools? Yes. That money went toward purchasing more gaming books. The last thing I needed was another piece...
