    FFG Dumping WFRP stuff...cancellation or yet another reprint edition?

    Looks more like storage cleaning for a new edition (or re-print) than a sale IMHO. They are not doing such things in their other RPG lines, and looking at their boardgames sale, it looks also like inventory cleaning.

    Video Game Graphics that made you catch your breath

    The launch of the mothership in Homeworld. Between the music, the voices, and the graphics I nearly cried of joy in front of the computer :)

    Gamehackery:My Game Session Notes are Useless. So I use Livescribe Echo.

    Thanks a lot for the detailed information :) The PDF thing is a little let down, it would be nicer if writing was exported to OneNote the same way as when you write directly using a tablet and a pen. But well, the basic version is $100 so I may give it a try :) Thanks a lot!

    Gamehackery:My Game Session Notes are Useless. So I use Livescribe Echo.

    Have you tried the integration with OneNote? I've been reading an it seems the text gets inserted as a PDF but I haven't been able to find very recent information. Regards!

    Gamehackery:My Game Session Notes are Useless. So I use Livescribe Echo.

    One question about this, does the recording works for other languages than english? (Spanish in my case for example).

    An open letter to WoTC

    I compared C++ to C# because they both work on the platforms we are talking about and the conversation was more or less going for trying to reach as many platforms as possible with the DDI apps. As far as I know, if you want to target Android you can use C++ and Java, or C# if you pay for...

    An open letter to WoTC

    It is true that Silverlight is not technically native in a PC (it is on WP7 and Xbox360) as when running out of browser what it does is run under a hidden browser. But the styling of a Silverlight app is the same of a WPF app, so except for the fact that is running inside a browser, it looks...

    An open letter to WoTC

    Those new mobiles sites, and having them working in multiple devices do not come for free, they come up with development hours. And I see no indication anywhere that WotC would had done that extra support work if they had gone with a web app, so we would be probably in the same situation: tools...

    An open letter to WoTC

    Not every platform out there renders HTML5 the same way (and it was worse when they started all of this). Which means, again, different UIs (although on a smaller scale than going with native apps). And a Web app can't usually deliver the same experience of a native application. This is true...

    An open letter to WoTC

    That's why I said they would only need to rewrite the UI part, which would have happened with nearly any language as the UI toolkits of Android and iPhone for example are totally different.

    Which they did, as .NET/C# works on every smartphone platform out there (except Blackberry).

    An open letter to WoTC

    It's easy to move a Silverlight app to a Windows 8 Metro app, as both define the UI by XAML. Same with moving towards Android (Monodroid) and iOS (Monotouch). The only thing you would need to change in every platform is the UI. Which is more or less similar on the web as every device supports...

    Classical Mythology RPG?

    There is a very old Spanish RPG about Greek mythology called "Oraculo" (Oracle). Oráculo | RPG Item | RPGGeek I remember some nice memories of playing it when I was very young, but probably it has not aged very well.

    Birthright Campaign Manager tool

    Well, you can restore the game from those files, it's just that is not as simple as copying them :( I was hoping that as the database files are named the same and the login user is named the same, copying would work, but it seems SQL Server needs something more. The correct solution would be to...

    Birthright Campaign Manager tool

    Glad it helped! And thanks for the nice words :) The tool installs a lot of data and empty templates in your "My Documents" folder. For data entry I would recommend the following: - Write the data in Excel files using the empty templates as a guide. - Save those Excel files as .CSV files. -...
