WoTC

I'm not sure as IANAL (we've got our OGL/IP gurus looking further into this), I only know that: 1.) Publishers may get upset that PCGen datasets are getting converted to another program, we had to get a host of specific permissions to allow PCGen to create certain datasets. I'm pretty sure...

Exactly, PCGen (The open source project) got a cease and desist from WoTC. So Mynex, Lonejedi and Bryan McRoberts negotiated with WoTC and subsequently split from PCGen and formed CMP, it was the only way they could get WoTC closed content data to the PCGen userbase. We (the PCGen project)...

OK, we've talked with our OGL/PI gurus and although we don't want to put up roadblocks for third parties like yourselves, there are some OGL/PI issues that we need to make you aware of before conversion (for example, datasets that we created for particular publishers couldn't be converted unless...

OK that's cool, we were just starting to do a round up of all of the 3rd party software products that were intending on using the PCGen datasets and I noticed this thread. Our OGL/PI gurus realised that there would be problems for people wanting to convert our data in the fact that the...

You'll need to get hold of us if you intend to convert PCGen datasets, there are some IP issues etc with some of our datasets, please contact Paul King (kingpaul) for further information

Seems everyone is using our datasets these days, kudos to our data team I guess. Don't forget to acknowledge the source please :)

Well it certainly is interesting speculation! I guess we'd be kind of flattered if something like this did occur (if WoTC sees us as having the largest user community). Well I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they do next. If it did occur, I sincerely hope they did have the courtesy...

This has been tried by many groups before, I don't see WoTC cracking it, unless they were to support only a subset of the rules

We've had _zero_ contact from anyone associated with WoTC with regards to the PCGen code base. Yes its Open Source and freely available to be forked etc, however I would be incredibly surprised if WoTC were to use PCGen directly without having had to seek some assistance from us. PCGen is...

We're very proud that we have such a large user base (no-one has ever done the market analysis but we still get 1000's of unique downloads every time we do a release, so we know there are a few fans out there ;p). Regardless of that, I'm not sure that WoTC would become directly involved with an...

Applying for License It will be interesting if anyone else will be allowed to apply for a license, yes PCGen as the open source team will be investigating this (very reluctantly).

We have to be obscure because... Hi there, I feel for your frustration, but unfortunately we _cannot_ assist in direct queries to create WoTC datasets, unfortunately due to the licensing terms that WoTC have imposed, you're only allowed to create these datasets "off your own back, for your own...

Please post this question on our official boards, there will be plenty of people to assist :-) http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PCGenListFileHelp/ Our data monkeys will be adding this missing template in our next Alpha release.

Just quickly: * I believe our generator is going to be a bit 'smarter' than completely random.... * Yeah the UI is still definitely an area that needs some polisihng love, I'm not sure if you've seen 5.10.1 (it's got several UI enhancements over 5.8.1). But I totally agree that more needs to...

PCGen to expand..... Ah I see now, well to help the original poster, As of 5.10.1 PCGen has one feature currently (called Kits), which allows you to apply standard default stats, feats, equipment etc to a creature or PC at the click of a single button. I find it very helpful to create hordes...

Hi there, I'd like to change my email address, but get prompted for my password, I enter my password and it fails. I can't reset my email address and I can't request my password to the old email address because it is no longer active. Bugger.

Hi there, I'm not sure if you've contacted us about the conversion of the LST data or not, if you did I apologies in advance for losing that communication. You'd probably best drop us a line as there are some legalities that you may need to be aware of, especially around the OGL/d20 side of...

Hi all, Sorry I've been caught up on real life lately, so my apologies for not responding to this earlier. Pauls's comment was made _before_ he knew what Twin Rose was actually trying to do (that is to use the Output Sheets like open RPG does and not the data sets) and therefore should not be...

No, you'll need to grab the RSRD beta dataset from our pcgne Y! page http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/ Look in the files/campaign and central/inwork projects/rsrd download the zip file and unzip it from the root PCGEN directory and all should be good. The beta dataset is already going...
