    Initiative 0.8.1 released

    I can't speak for BeerSkunk, but for me - I know other programs LET players or GMs roll dice....but that's the key word....let. Most programs make it cumbersom, in some cases because it's necessary - the player rolls, then the GM has to do data entry. all in all, it's irritating, and doesn't...

    RPGeneration 0.9.1 released, and questions

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Jamis Buck was no longer supporting/developing any of his generators. IF that's the case, (Which I admit, could be wrong), would it be preferential to make a new NPC Generator? As far as import and export, where would you want it - as in, would you want...

    RPGeneration 0.9.1 released, and questions

    I have just placed a new version of RPGeneration (0.9.1) out on my server at http://www.evilsoft.org/Software/ Ok, first, my questions: 1) What do people want to be able to randomly generate? Ideas I have heard so far are Weather, Terrain, NPCs, NPC Equipment. What other kinds of stuff would...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    I'm relitvely sure that abbridgements and condensations require that the person still use a semblance of the original prose. As for PCGen and lawyers, the inner circle have stated more then once in this very thread that they reviewd what they were doing with a lawyer on repeated occasions to...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Just to back up what I have been saying about the use of the ideas (which is what pcgen does) is legal (and intended to be legal), weather or not they follow the OGL: simply put, as long as you don't use the same words, you have free use of the ideas. And I think you would be hard pressed to...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Yes, that is irrational. because you are also applying that rule to people who never even broke the spirit of the law. copyright from day one was intended to protect the expression of ideas, so that people WOULD express them. Once they express them, the ideas are public domain. Period. The...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Except that they are not doign anything illegal now, and don't claim to be OGL compliant now. The only thing they seem to have said is A) what we have always done is legal, because we are not using Open Game Content, we are using copyrighted materials in a legal way, and B) at some point in the...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Yes, it was. And in many ways it has been constructive. But, Publishers and PCGen are not the only ones with a stake at the table. Users/consumers have a large reason to be concerned with how the people who implement policy and law are applying it. In this case, that has become you (meant in...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    (Note, I really jacked this up, by stating that PCGen was, when I Intended to say it was not....sorry - soulcatcher) No one has disagreed that PCGen was NOT (and may still be NOT) OGL Compliant. BUT, PCGen just chose to BECOME OGL compliant. You yourself said that WotC can approach you to...
