I haven't tried TreePad but the Tree/Word Processing combo looks similar to the Codex Tree that is in DM's Familiar. And DMF has the game functionality your looking for. RPM has something similar as well. Don't know if DM Genie does or not.

Site was down last night. It's back now. Sorry.

The crux seems to be, what happens if the person can't continue his action due to the readied action taking place? I've always played that the person loses their turn (they take no action if the readied action prevents them from doing what they plan) though the rules don't explicitly say that...

The Wyrm's Hoard-- an online, searchable adventure archive -- is holding a raffle for a copy of Hamlet of Thumble from Open World Press. Head over to The Hoard, enter an adventure, and you get entered into the raffle automatically. The more adventures you enter, the more chances you have to win...

How would you go about playing a virtual game of Paper & Pencil D&D? A game where the DM and all the players are online. There's the Neverwinter Nights route but that is just way to time consuming to make maps and it really restricts what you can do (want to throw a new monster at the group?)...

I don't use any myself but this girlfriend of mine in college used... oh wait. We're not talking about that are we?

You could start looking 2 inches down your monitor in this thread.

You want a program that does all the math for you in creating a monster, yes? In that case, you want character generation software. You have lots of choices: ETools (which doesn't do templates as pointed out), PCGen, Campaign Suite, Roleplaying Master, DM Genie, and others I'm probably...

I'm lurking. Not sure why Hollywood thinks my opinion is important but here it is: I know next to nothing about XML. Programming for DM's Familiar keeps me plenty busy as is, I can't really offer much help in all this theoritical discussion. I've said I'll probably support the CSX format...

Thanks. It's been up only a week or so and it's up to 80 adventures which seems like a good start. Thanks, Mark. "Done and done?" The first done is data entry I'm guessing, the second done is emailing me for a free banner? I didn't see the email for the free banner if that's what you meant...

Not a bad idea. Others have mentioned searchable databases for magic items and spells. I'll wait and see if the adventure archive is popular than consider those.

I want something more advanced. I want to be able to say "show my every adventure for 8th to 10th level characters" or "show me every adventure set in the Forgotten Realms featuring a yuan-ti" or weird things like that. The Wyrm's Hoard can do all of that (and more).

The Wyrm's Hoard is a new online, searchable database for adventures. The user can search this archive by level, publisher, keywords, author, publisher, setting, and other fields. Any web visitor can add new entries to the database or make changes to what is there. The Hoard is just a couple...

There is now, I created one. The Wyrm's Hoard is an online, searchable database of adventures. You can search by level, setting, keywords, and other fields. Anyone can enter new information into it.

No, sorry, no mac version. The only Mac combat manager I know of is Crystal Ball. And that's all I know about it. And answers to Snowdogs posts have been discussed on the DMF yahoo group if anyone is interested.

DM's Familiar has one built-in.

I can give the DM's Familiar answer to these, being the author of the program and all. You might also try the DMF Yahoo group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmsfamiliar/ - there's over 500 users there that can give good answers. Or the Unoffical Yahoo Group -...

The spells database in DM's Familiar can do that. I had to split the class info out to make it happen "Sor 1, Wiz 1". You may want to look at doing that. Also, there's an online spellist by class here: http://www.cooleys.org/ogc/spells/ It's not searchable though. There's some spells on there...

Would you like to get some relatively free advertisign in a newsletter? I have 2 newsletter I send to people who have downloaded my program, DM's Familiar. Newsletter #1 goes out to 2500+ people and announces a new versionm of the program (I do this about once every 2 months or so). Newsletter...

My thinking is that each individual application is probably going to need application specific data structures to work with. The "data dump" format is mainly for importing/exporting between applications. So, say we have a format for spells. Me, the DM, has all the spells for my campaign in DM's...
