[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 434580, member: 151"] While I don't agree with tburdett, I think you've got this one wrong. I haven't the slightest idea how to go about creating my own LST file, and from what I've gleaned, it's a non-trivial task that requires a significant investment of time, effort and research. All of which defeat the purpose of using PCGen, for me. Saying that I can create it on my own is like saying that I can write my own copy of Unreal Tournament 2003...it's possible, but not likely and not a simple task. That said, I think tburdett is about as far off base as can be. It took PCgen over a year and a half to become usable for me...but I like it quite a bit, now. WOTC has already committed to OGL'ing a lot of material, soon. Moreover, it was my impression that many d20 publishers LIKED being in PCGen, and some even submitted their own LST files to the PCGen team for inclusion. WOTC is the only company with any issues about it. Judging by comments from the PCGen team, WOTC is dealing in good faith, taking steps they don't need to unless they are intent on continuing to do so, and trying to get their act together. Considering that they company has had three rounds of layoffs in as many years, I think it's amazing they've been able to keep it together as much as they have. [/QUOTE]
