You might want to check out the Rappan Athuk forums on Necromancer Games boards http://pub123.ezboard.com/fnecromancergamesfrm3 Lots of posts by DM's that have run this

Actually I think the reason PCGen is in java is that the original programmer (merton_monk??) used writting PCGen as a way to teach himself java. I think several of the CMP programmers have experience in C/C++

I think it is the best thing that could have happened for eTools. Think about it, everything eTools users have been screaming about for the last two years is going to happen: - bug fixes, especially by a team that has a proven track record of RPG software (especially D&D/D20) - updated data...

Well then they better start getting angry. The eTools repository has been down for some time (possibly totally unrelated) and today the eTools MSN group removed all the non-OGL files from the file section, citing the recent CMP announcement as the reason. So there is now only a few places that...

Well at least one company is making a go of selling primarily modules, Necromancer Games. With the exception of Tome of Horrors and the upcoming Book of Taverns and Grimtooth's, they are pretty much cranking out modules. They also have a bunch (?? 20+ ??) more in the pipeline that have been...

Heck run them through Rappan Athuk 1, 2 *and* 3 That way they can get some sense of accomplishment before they go down :) Seriously though Rappan Athuk is a nice dungeon romp for that level of characters. Some of the encounters on the upper levels may be a little easy but there is still plenty...

You could try Jamis Buck's NPC generator (where ever that is hosted now) or somewhere on the net there is supposed to be a character archive for 3E characters. You could check there for some characters.

In my campaign MW stuff is not common, but not scarce either. I look at like this - Most weaponsmiths just crank out swords and axes, these are common weapons and are what most guards, simple npc's and monsters have. But anyone of any rank or worth will want a better weapon and these are...

And don't forget Necromancer/Judges Guild is also coming out with one of the oldest (and best) fantasy cities ever for D20, The City State of the Invincible Overlord

The key word was "eventually". If I remember right from the unofficial "poll" on the OGL list the ELH was ranked as #1 and the splatbooks near the bottom of what publishers wanted next in the SRD. What a lot of people seem to be forgetting is that the OGL & SRD was not made to *primarily*...

Re: Perhaps I have this wrong re negotiations but........ ok You mean like *every other* RPG publisher does :) Where do you get the idea that Wotc, or any other game company, is obligated to provide you with software to use thier product? I mean, I can see that you want it badly but so...

Mynex, I have to say that not having easy to use lst editors is what is stopping me from using PCGen right now. I really don't want or need complete support from the splat books, but I do want to pick and choose what I want to enter from them. Actually the same goes for most any D20 material...

Rappan Athuk and Tomb of Abysthor from Necromancer Games You won't find any better.

Judges Guild Castle Books Check out one of the used RPG dealers (like www.nobleknight.com) or eBay and look for the old Judges Guild books "Castle Book I" and "Castle Book II". These contain maps of various size castles from simple towers to large castles. Also Dark Furies has a PDF product...

Just want to put in a second plug for Noble Knight Games. The owner is real nice to work with and they have a large selection of not just RPG's but also war games and magazines.

No, it's not making PCGen compete fairly with eTools that is the question. eTools being a licensed product, can leagly contain all sorts of data and information that other programs can not. It's making PCGen compete fairly with the other software programs that were/are trying to follow the...

I didn't see the button for "lame, low margin product that should be produced by a D20 company" so I voted for folder. Honestly what are they thinking of doing, publishing the "Map of the Week" dreck in a hardbound book? There is only about a dozen excellent products already out there. If you...

Here ya go http://pub123.ezboard.com/fnecromancergamesfrm31.showMessage?topicID=41.topic And the cover is posted on the Necromancer Games website now http://www.necromancergames.com/

You know it seems to me, reading this thread, that the problem is that the PCGen guys are a bunch of programmers, with a programming attitude towards the OGL. Not a slam, just an observation. :) They are not actually "looking" at the OGL as a spec they have to follow, they are on a "bug hunt"...

Gotta be Judges Guild Wilderlands and the CSIO. Since before the 1E books came out this has always been my favorite setting. Once the 3E version comes out it will blow away what I have seen from others. :)
