Publishers Concerns I know one of the things that I have often heard as a concern with PCGen. With source x in it does that mean that there is no need to purchase that source? In my own gaming group the rule is: a book is only added as a source if somebody owns it and its usually is if I own...

Morrus Morrus, I apologize for my rant, its just that when I started this thread I wanted to hear publishers opinions on PCGen even bad ones. I was looking for information and hopefully useful dialog. The first couple of posts even though they were sharp I took them as an honest opinion. It...

Ink eating PDF's Now I bought my computer system 2 and a half years ago. If I had know how many PDF's and other downloads that I would be printing out I would have dropped the extra 150 bucks on a laser printer. At the time most of my gaming stuff was straight text. Nice, simple and easy. I...

Okay I started this thread to find out what publishers thought of PCGen, both good and bad. I've sat back for the last two days and read what everybodies had to say. I guess I've reached my limit. I understand publishers concerns about the use of their IP. Wondering how and when it was being...

Hmmm lets see. God created the angels so yeas he will be more powerful. Greater for God and Intermediate for Satan. As to domains I'd go for more for each since there are only two. God: Creation, Good, Healing, Law, Protection Satan: Chaos, Destriction, Evil, Fire, Trickery IMHO

Whats Too Many Books Everybody's going to have their own view as to what is too many books. THere are going to be people who are not that good at coming up with all the background stuff but are great at telling a story. Those people are going to want a lot of detail. Also for a campaign...

Hunters and the Hunted Now I've played all the main White Wolf storyteller games and most of their spinoffs. I spent about six months in a Hunter campaign. Yes its a bit different because you are limited in what your abilities are but thats half the fun. You want to know what beats a...

Good Story Having actually done some writing for the AP I applaud your satire. Its rthym and vocabulary are actually pretty close to that of a real news story. You actually had me beliving for a line or two. All in all a good show. As to cheating. It happens. I look it at this way almost...

Re: Re: Silverymoon Wards I'm assuming your talking about the time that Drizzt was near Silverymoon and Alustriel told him she could not give him shelter. That wasn't because of the wards that was because at the time Alustriel was in the process of forming the alliances that became the Silver...

Problem with PCGen Mr. Peterson, I am sorry that you feel that way. I am grateful for your opinion though. I started this thread to find out what publishers thought about PCGen. I was unable to go to GenCon this year so all my information was gleaned second and third hand. If nothing else...

Psychic Warriors Hmmm lets see Psychic Warriors. As everyone has been saying, you definitely need some sort of plan to where your character is going. Check out some of the power trees to see what you eventually want to be able to get. I've always focused on psychometabolic powers (STR), but...

Thanks for the opinion. Even bad stuff I want to hear. Just testing the waters to see what the publishers are thinking. Knightcrawler PCGen LST Monkey :D

Leveling PC's I usually do a combination. If there's time and we are not in the middle of something I like to give some time over for training. And if my players can come up with some good ideas as to training and leveling I usually give them somethinge extra. If any wierd multiclassing is...

The antipathy effect for the wards in Silverymoon is as follows: "Antipathy to all evil-aligned demons, devils, dragons, drow, duergar, giants, goblinoids, mindflayers, orcs and trolls" The Antipatyhy spells description: "A creature who makes a successful saving throw can stay in the area or...

Sorcerer's and changing slpells My house rule is that I let sorcerer's change their spells each time that they gain a level. This helps to clear out spells that they no long use. In the beginning of the campaign (1st - 4th) my sorcerer had alot of "buffing" spells; cat's grace, bull's...

Bored Gaming Group I you go too long in the exact same campaign without anything exciting happening it can get boring. My cuurent group has been playing for about two and a half years. There are a couple of things we do. 1) Each year we took a month or two off from my D&D campaign to play...

Who brings what.. Well in my current group we always play at this one person's house. They provide most of the munchies. Everybody brings what they each want to drink. The situation has just evolved that way, no particular plan. And since the hosts are the biggest snackers it works out. In...

D20 Modern is SRD AEarlier today on the PCGen Yahoo group the subject came up. Coming down from "on high" the word is that D20 Modern is going into the SRD immediately. Knightcrawler :D

As The General Dungeon Lives All the best campaigns that I've run or played in had at least a little "love interest" thrown in here and there for the PC's. It provoids great roleplaying opertunities for the players. And as long as your players are at least slightly mature it can be rought off...

Since I was unable to make it to GenCon I figured I'd ask the question here on the boards. What are publishers opinions of PCGen. Most of what I heard from GenCon was extremely good. Basically what you think of it. And why or why not you gave your permission for use of your books as source...
