    Great find! A little bit of baking soda and water may help with the battery. Apply with q-tips to keep it from going all over the place.

    Your Options For D&D 5E Electronic Tools

    The current version of pymapper (www.pymapper.com) has some 5E content available now, with updates for the 5E SRD coming very soon. Pymapper is a tile-based map maker/game assistant.

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    I doubt that either extreme is correct, as far as D&D goes. Of the six guys playing in my regular campaign, I'm the only one that follows D&D/WotC stuff online with any regularity. Now, they have all asked about digital tools, and when I tell them there are none available, they just shrug it...

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    So let me get this straight...the lack of an OGL means that WotC can keep me from eating ice cream?

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    Oh. Here is where we do disagree then. I think that digital (talking about tools here, not the pdf's) of necessity does lag behind the game development. It's just lost work if the digital side starts coding the character generation when the rules team is still changing things. Can digital...

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    You're right. It would have been nice to have WotC move the standard in this direction. It's difficult for them (anyone) to really know what the effect would have been had they waited and released digital and print together. Would it have brought in more customers? Probably. Would that have...

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    The trouble might be the definition of "industry standards." There are just not a lot of big companies in the RPG world. It's kind of hard to develop a standard when its just Paizo and WotC. (Not meaning any disrespect to other publishers here...but most other rulesets are pretty small...

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    Yes, it would have been nice to have a full set of digital tools ready at the same time as the physical books. However, I would much rather have the books now, and the tools later. Can you imagine the uproar if WotC were to have waited for Trapdoor to produce its suite of tools? I think we're...

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    Ah, that is not what I'm saying. I agree that there should be a digital offering. It would help to potentially draw more people in. I just don't believe that the lack thereof will be the end of the game.

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    I agree with your point that a smart company would try to figure out how digital tools would affect their product. This is much is just common sense. However, regarding the original thought from DEFCON 1: In the two games I'm involved in (one as DM, other as PC), the lack of sanctioned...

    C&Ds for Online D&D 5E Character Generators

    It is likely that there was no official C&D, in this particular case at least. Speaking from personal experience, I received a very nice email asking that I take down particular content owned by WotC. No threats, no warnings of legal action, just a request to honor their copyright. It really...

    Database of Dungeon Tiles?

    PyMapper can print the dungeon to a single page, or across a range of pages (ie, 4 wide by 3 high). Poster size prints can be made as well. The limiting factor is the quality (resolution) of the tiles. Generally the tiles are in the 80-150 ppi resolution range. Good for the screen, not so...
