True enough... I didn't mean to sound negative there. In fact, I seriously considered buying the Silver edition because I'm not interested in the adventure creation part, just the maps. But then I saw the Platinum edition got 2 artpacks and I got all jealous and didn't want to settle for...

Some of these questions might sound rude, so I apologize in advance. Not sure how "hard hitting" you want to make this interview, but I am interested in hearing the answers. 1. Were you worried that potential customers would shy away from Dundjinni based on the performance of your last...

This one really impressed me. The closer I looked, the cooler it became. 1. I like how his head is tilted... like how an animal would tilt its head. That simple little gesture really emphasizes his non-human/animal nature. 2. Check out that axe! The handle looks like the femur of some great...

I run AdAware frequently and its never done that to me. Did you install the Microsoft IE Popup Blocker or update MSN Messenger lately? If so, those are your likely culprits. But even those offer you the option to not reset your homepage to MSN. (I think it defaults to yes, you have to...

If you could put all the rules and data (the open content) in files to be parsed and used by the application it would satisfy the OGL. The problem is architecting the app to use rules from a file, instead of having the rules hardcoded as program logic (which is an easier approach). Does anyone...

Quasqeton, I agree with the last few posters. Get yourself a USB storage device. Many are small enough to fit on keychains. If your old computer has windows XP on it, it will automatically recognize the USB device (otherwise buy one that comes with a driver CD). Just plug it into your USB...

I have 8 players/DMs in my group. 1 - (me) Actively reads ENWorld, not rpg.net. I buy mostly WOTC products. Only purchased 2 PDFs (Book of Eldritch Might and Magical Medieval Society). 1 - occasionally reads ENWorld. Buys a lot of product, mostly WOTC. 1 - doesn't read ENWorld. Buys a lot...

Maybe they haven't figured out all the revenue potential with commercial licensing and just decided to say "no" until they have? I tend to think that if people used their maps in commercial products, it would make it alot more popular... free advertising. Plus theres a lot of aspiring...

Have you considered a tablet PC? If you had a light slate (like from HP or Motion Computing) you could carry that around the table instead of the PDA. It has a much larger screen, can be held in portrait mode so you can read e-books more naturally, and you can use a stylus pen as an input...

I understand your point, but Vin has a recognizable name and therefore lends some credibility to D&D when you mention his name to people unfamiliar with our hobby. For example, when I talk to a friend about playing D&D and she calls me a nerd, I say "well, Vin Diesel plays D&D." And she says...

Roleplaying use I play a wizard who frequently uses Silent Image to conjure up images for various reasons: * When making battle plans, he forms a 3D, rotating view of some place he's seen or scryed. This works well if you imagine any sci-fi movie where a hologram is used, like in Return of...

Just a quick note about my experience with Dell tech support. My dad's computer got zapped by lightning a few days ago. I called tech support for him (since I was the one who actually bought it) and they arranged to have a tech come by my house the next day. He showed up early, swapped out...

Any idea when PCI Express will be available? My current PC has a Radeon 9700 which has held up surpringly well. I planned on upgrading sometime after PCI Express was widely available. As for Quasqeton, I hate to see someone buy a new rig just before new technology is released that displaces...

Windows XP is great. Personally I use XP Pro at home. I'd pay attention to your video card options. PCI Express is the newest card slot technology replacing AGP. I believe high-end cards from ATI and NVidia are just now being released. Any computer that has a PCI Express slot will most...

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you find one soon...

I hope it works out and I'm looking forward to seeing it. For me, one of the biggest barriers to adopting any of the available chargens has been the GUI. From what I've seen, I like how PCGen handles prereqs and stuff, and as a user I want that. But I couldn't understand the interface so I...

So what is your profession (if you don't mind me asking)?

Silveras... "always with you it cannot be done." :p Just kidding. Why do you crush my dreams of seeing the perfect character generator? ;)

I can't speak for all the software out there... I know e-tools and pcgen have the capability of adding new stuff. But I believe there are some limitations inherent in the software (e-tools has some hardcoded values that affects various calculations.) To me, the point is moot anyway because I...

Ok, I see what you're saying. Another example is in the fairly excellent Unearthed Arcana: Human Paragon gives you +1 casterlevel to any previous spellcasting class. When I saw that the first time I thought it was pretty cool, and it was different because other classes before it always...
