The moderator of the Y! group is pretty slow about approving membership... I agree that most of the good info is on the forums at http://www.dmgenie.com/smf/ (I'm one of the moderators there).

It definitely pays to have a single null-Ethernet cable handy. (Works like a null-modem cable, in that it doesn't require any other hardware: hub, switch, router, or other.) In Windows, the machines will auto-configure themselves to be on the 169.251 network (I think that's the one). You can...

Conversion tool, .LST -> DMGenie? Heh-heh, understood. :) Somewhat. First, a statement of fact: it is not illegal to build copy machines, but it IS illegal to use them to reproduce copyrighted materials. Now on to my assertion: it is not illegal to write conversion software, but it IS...

Pylar, do you know about the Tampa Bay area Yahoo! group at MTBDDG, or MsKina's Tampa Bay D&D Gamers in long-hand. :)

I did a quick search at CMP.com and couldn't find the license agreement for the use of the data sets. Would you be so kind as to post it here? Or maybe have it posted in the FAQ section of the site? Thanks.

Agreed. I treat it like the free movement that you get when you move into an opponents square in order to start a grapple. But in this case, since you're invisible, you don't provoke attacks of opportunity...

I don't wait until an "inconvenient moment", I just tell them the next time they try to move. It's really easy for me, though: I use DM Genie at the table to track my entire game, including the PCs equipment. The gnome and the halfling have lousy STR scores and are constantly in the "Load...

How about a vorpal stake?! ;) Then it's similar to a vorpal sword in terms of being an insta-kill. Or maybe the stake has to be vampire bane (not just undead bane) to gain the insta-kill ability? I'm just thinking out loud about some various options that I hadn't seen presented yet...

And you might consider http://rptools.net/ as well. It is undergoing tremendous development right now, and if it doesn't have a feature you want, speak up on the forums and the dev team works on getting them in there. Even to the point of putting bug fixes on high priority if someone states...

I suppose this isn't a good time to bring this up, but... I just had my druid summon a Thoqua a few nights ago. The description says that they deal 2d6 fire damage on any successful touch (you'll need to read the details for the Heat special attack). So, do they deal fire damage when they...

And if you're willing, you could fill a "group" in DM Genie with the monsters you're going to use in the next session, then cut-n-paste the statblocks into another file for printing. This would also give you a log of all the previous monsters you've used, along with any tweaks you've made. (I...

Hmm, not exactly. The goal of MapTool is to present the map view to a bunch of network-connected machines (like KW) and when a token is moved on one machine's map, it moves on all of them (like KW). But the focus is NOT on being an all-inclusive tool for the DM: it's strictly for displaying...

Try MapTool from rptools.net TableTop Mapper had some neat features, but it was a bit of a pain to use. If you want to track a tool that is under active development (and I mean active!), check out the MapTool project at rptools.net. It's free as in speech and free as in beer, too. TMapper...

He's not buying it on any kind of corporate or educational pricing. Or if he is, he didn't say so. And 64-bit exclusivity is not the question. The question is whether 64-bit apps are (a) available now, and (b) will be available soon. The issue is sort of like the old 16-bit world vs. the...

Rebuttal: 32-bit vs. 64-bit I apologize to everyone in advance. There were some comments made about 32-bit vs. 64-bit hardware, and a few assumptions about operating systems and applications, and I felt I had to reply. Embedded in the middle is an admission that the OP is probably best off...

Agreed. I don't see any reason why one grappler couldn't trip another. A melee touch attack is an unarmed strike, isn't it?

Simple:no. [Edit: duplicate post somehow.]

Simple: no. Hmm. (I emphasized the direct quote from the SRD.) If it's a class ability, it's not a "racial tongue or regional dialect", is it?

DM Genie, d20srd.org, and MapTool I use DM Genie and the d20srd site that you mention, above. (You'll find that I volunteer as a moderator on the DM Genie forums; drop a note there and tell us how you found it. :)) I have imported the Firefox bookmarks from the d20srd.org site, which means...

Compaq might be my next one I'm in the market for a new laptop myself. Since the Intel Core chips are not 64-bit, I'm planning to stay away from them (why buy old technology?). And the weekly newspapers here in Tampa are filled with Turion single- and dual-core laptops... (My current laptop...
