Hey Jamis, I probably fall under the "casual programmer" group but I had a couple of ideas after I read your post. First off you have to decide if your creating it for just specifically D&D or a more generic character generator. Even if your going for more of a generic character generator...

Very Cool

I would like you to explain this fear to us. Not trying to be snide or anything but I do consider it a bit irrational. Myself and the gaming community in my area are exposed to different publishers through PCGen and are more likely to buy products that are in PCGen. The amount of information...

Should be around 21 or 22 Pounds. As far as I remeber the conversion is 3/5 of a English Pound to 1 US Dollar. Or it was a little while ago. Just one of those useless facts I have floating around my hea. Morrus, I definitely would be interested in finding out your opinion on it after you've...

Not off topic. We've actually been trying to test PCGen on various machines to see the slowest thing that it would run on. One of the important things is your use of Java 1.4 it definitely improves speed. So far the slowest system that I can remember is a Pentium 75. For those of you how...

Keeping Characters I have 95% of my characters from the last 20 years that I have gamed from every game system that I have played. The only ones that I'm missing are ones that got lost or accidently thrown away. I have close to 100 D&D characters that I have used and played over the years...

More Information For those of you that are interested in finding out more information about why PCGen is trying to become OGL/D20 complient, what publishers opinions about PCGen are and general information about OGL/D20 licensing issues you can check out the thread in the Publishers Forum...

Hey, thats why I went more by what each age category could do rather than CR. If the DM doesn't make a dragon wily and cunning with multiple different plans then the dragon is just another monster and the CR matches. If your thinking of XP purposes the DM can always give more for good ideas or...

I would go with a Young Adult or Adult dragon. Balance it with how many magic items and weapons the characters are carrying. Just be careful about AC, make sure that they have at least a 20% chance to hit the dragon. Also you got to think about your players. How good or bad are they about...

LSD Monkey...LST Monkey? You mean there's a difference? I'm still looking at pretty colors all the time, on the screen. In the about I'm listed as Magus Knightcrawler, only Knightcrawler was already taken as a Yahoo ID. No, I'm not the head monkey. I wouldn't want the job. To much...

I thank you all for your opinions both the good and the bad. Really all I can say for most of your issues is be patient and wait. Hopefully we'll get the OGL/D20 stamp of approval soon and then we can start getting those removed files back in the data files. To our supporters I say, Thank...

Questions Okay I see I need to actually say something now. Yes I started this thread for my own benefit, information. I was unable to attend GenCon this year so I thought I'd post and ask the publishers opinions. None of the "inner circle" knew of it. When people started coming back from...

Most of the time all custom lst files will migrate without any problem. I think you may have been caught between major changes in the code. There is a converter for old custom files in PCGen now. I have to agree somewhat with what you are saying here. You have to understand though that PCGen...

Thank you Mr. Petersen and Mr. Church for answering those questions. You must understand that when I started this thread it was not my intention for it to go this way. Several of the comments hit nerves with some of the PCGen crew and they responded defensively and it snow balled from there...

I thank you for your opinion. I am sorry that you feel that way about using it again. I do agree that the GUI needs some work and that the learning curve on it is a bit high. After we get OGL/D20 issues taken care of one of the first projects, hopefully, is going to be a file editor to make...

I thought that children of a half-something always turned out to be what the other parent ways. Half-Orc + Human = Human Half-Elf + Human = Human Half-Orc + Orc = Orc Etc. At least thats what I thought I had read somewhere. Of course its probably a gray enough area that you can do what ever...

Legalese I myself have wondered about some of these legal questions. It seems everybody is bandying about legal terms. I know nothing about the law. It would be nice to have it explained in layman's terms. Mr. Peterson, you say your a lawyer. Can you explain/answer some of the previous...

I thought I'd put this question out. What do most gamers think of PCGen. Is it useful, how do you use it, what are the problems and any ideas that you can offer. I'm looking for constructive criticism and ideas, not empty rants and flames. So if all you want to do is attack PCGen please...
