Nice, but Word is not searchable. I found a Excel spreadsheet here, http://www.mythosa.net/Utils.html#DunIdx. It has issue 83 and on and, since it is Excel, you can search it for various things. I'm really surprised this isn't an online repository of adventures, with the key features (level...

There used to be an online database of adventures from Dungeon magainze and the free Wizards adventures here: http://www.dreamthief.com/dungeon.phtml?sort=LEVEL Put it's gone now. ANybody know what happened to it? It was way cool in that you could sort all the adventures by level, setting, etc.

>>> quick answer is that if it's designed for a particular program is has certain asumptions. Generally that's a gaurentee. I'm hoping to have a format that will not have those assumptions. Developing a new XML format is not all THAT hard. You seem to have assumed it won't work and have started...

>> So that the portability format is not hobbled, I would like to see it be a *new* format What does that mean? It looks like we've got a format that is nearly done - Chris's. Why go back and reinvent the wheel?

Let me make sure I understand soulcatcher: 1) Company X releases a book that is OGL 2) The OGL content is coded into a LST file for some volunter 3) The LST file is used in PCGen and GMGen Since PCGen and GMGen are free and open, this is fine. If the LST file is used in a for-pay product...

I'm not a lawyer. Anyone care to explain how that is possible? OpenOffice from Sun freely mentions that they can open Microsoft Word documents. Microsoft gave them permission to do that? I think not. Lots and lots of software products mention that they can read formats of other programs. Seems...

I support your efforts to use PCGen list files. If they're any good, I plan on using them as well in my product.

Not really. DM's Familiar can import a stat block. So you can use many of the character generator software to make a character and then easily get it into DM's Familiar. My plan is to export the information in DM's Familiar into the Campaign Suite XML format. So any utility that made use of...

Hard to answer until we know what you are looking for: A program for generating characters/NPCs? A program to use while gaming for managing combat? A program for tracking campaign notes, adventure notes, and everything else? A program for making maps? Online rules reference? etc. Many of the...

>> (PCGen) -lots of OGL content I thought all the OGL content had been removed from PCGen and was no longer available? And we weren't even allowed to discuss it here? Or was that just the copyrighted material that was removed and the OGL sources are still available? >> I use eTools for all my...

DM's Familiar is strictly a combat organizer, rules at your fingertips, adventure notes program. It doesn't do character generation if that's your main criteria. Campaign Suite from Twin Rose doesn't do combat but it does do character generation and lots of organizing. And as noted, there's...

DM's Familiar has an advanced search that does that sort of thing - "give me monsters that live in the desert, CR between 4 and 6, and size large please." It's not a spreadsheet though.

The Mad Irishman sheets, link is above or can be found at RPGSheets, are PDF forms that you can type on. It does some calculations for you (skills) but let's you type in things as well.

DM's Familiar has all the SRD spells. There's an Advanced Search feature that let's you search by name, class, SR, saves, level (show me all 3rd level wizard spells without SR that have a Fire descriptor). It has Import/Export built in so you can easily add spells from other sources. The...

Before E:Tools, when it was just PCGen, the PCGen team didn't care about protecting the copyrighted material that was in your files. But now there are hints that you might encrypt the datasets you previously sent out unprotected. Do I have that right?

IMHO, there's 2 areas where the laptop at the gaming table gives you the most bang for your buck: 1) Combat Management: Rolling initiative, tracking who's turn it is, making attack rolls (if you want), tracking durations of spells/effects. This really, really speeds up combat and frees up your...

Campaign Suite is not a combat tracker. That might be part of the problem. :) There's still my program, DM's Familiar, for managing combat. And DMGenie. Both are going to offer far more than what can be done in Excel. Both programs have free trials. If you can't figure out DM's Familiar...

The program itself is already updated for 3.5. Data-entry is going on as we speak. As soon as it's all done, a download will be available to update monsters, spells, feats, skills, etc. with the 3.5 info.
