    Guild Wars

    This thread got me to go pick it up. Having great fun playing Prophecies with one character with the wife and another character with my 8 year old. Dang, gotta go by a third computer now so that we can all play together. I've never had much interest in MMORPGs but there's enough story here to...

    How do you share large files online?

    If it's files you're going to send people and be done with it (as opposed to people needing to grab the files 6 months from now), there's yousendit.com. 100 Meg limit on a free account. File lives on their site for 7 days and you can send an email to whomever you want to download it.

    Questions on Paypal

    I did have my Paypal account hacked and $300 withdrawn. One email to Paypal resolved it and they gave me the money back.

    Tabletop Software: So many choices so confusing

    Kloogewerks does all you're looking for - except that stat block import part. Klooge can import PCGen characters, not sure what Fairy campaign would be. Automatic or manual fog of war (DM reavels as you go), visual hit points if you want it, really slick tool to convert any image into a nice...

    Hallow's Last Hope for DM's Familiar

    Good thing I didn't release S0: Software Programmer Commits Suicide. :) >> Todd, are you entertaining any ideas of a DMF 4E? Depends on whether WotC entertains the idea of allowing it. My totally baseless speculation is that OGL 2.0 is not going to apply to software.

    Civ IV: Beyond the Sword...

    Warlords or something new? How about a linky?

    Looking for campaign management tools

    You can do that. Drag the "blank" creature to the combat board, select it on the board, and then click on the "creature" tab of the combat board. You can then enter the saves. Course if that's all you're going to be doing, then yeah, a Combat Management program is overkill.

    Looking for campaign management tools

    (Talking about DM's Familiar here) You can edit anything already on the board (change the name, hit points, etc.) but there's no way to add a "blank" creature to the combat board (hmmm, maybe I should do that). If that is something you'd do frequently, I'd create a creature with a blank name and...

    Looking for campaign management tools

    Combat Management would help the game a lot at the table. There's mine - DM"s Familiar - and DM Genie, Roleplaying Master, and GMGen portion of PCGen.

    Ideal all-in-one RPG software package

    Right, the d20 license has nothing to do with the SRD. The SRD goes with the OGL only. Yes I *might* have but I would have been in a very unclear legal area as far as I'm concerned. Do I want to spend a bunch of time writing a software product only to be sued by WotC and have to abandon it? No...

    Ideal all-in-one RPG software package

    If they wanted to stop "all they legally could" they would not have released the OGL to us. The OGL is what makes all of the tools out there, mine included, possible. It would be real nice if the OGL extended out beyond the core, but to access WotC of stifling "all" is way off the mark.

    Widescreen -- used often?

    Be careful of the maximum screen resolution of the LCD. Some LCDs don't support the higher resolutions that a CRT does. You could buy an LCD that, though it had a larger screen area, had a lower resolution than your current monitor so you'd actually end up seeing less (though it would look nice...

    Microsoft Surface. Wow!

    >> Imagine that is your table top. (Minus the text of course.) You double tap your miniature and his character sheet pops up beside him. Maybe you even tap the weapon/attack you intend to use. Tap the target you wish to attack, then tap the dice to roll. All the math is done, the character sheet...

    Computerized DM aids

    Combat Managment would give the most dramatic impact on your game. It really speeds thing up to let the computer handle init, hit points, and rolling attack/damage for the monsters. Programs that do this are DM's Familiar (mine), Roleplaying Master, and DM Genie. Since these programs generally...

    My Worst Fears Realized...

    My worst fear is to become so delusional that I think my predictions actually influence events.

    Question on a Dragon Shaman aura

    Does a creature with claw/claw/bite take 6 points of damage or 2 points of damage if all three attacks hit?
