Character Generator

[BeholderBurger]

Does anybody know if they are gonna include 3.5 character generator software like they did with 3rd Edition?

 

[Nightstorm]

If they do lets hope it's better than the last one.

 

[BeholderBurger]

I agree!

I know its a bit pie in the sky but I really hope they do sort one out with proper ongoing support. I would definitely pay for an officially supported character generator with ongoing feat and equipment support.

No, they're not.

You'll be able to use the free PC Gen and buy a $5 data set to upgrade it to the 3.5 rules if you want. Or if you have eTools, same deal -- $5 data set will upgrade your etools to 3.5.

And I'm guessing some of the other people/groups that produce software will also be using material from the 3.5 SRD to populate their programs, spreadsheets, etc.

IMO they should offer the 3.5 dataset for free. Those are not optional rules.

What? They're completely optional.

If you don't want to go to 3.5, play 3.0. I know people still playing second edition.

Just because they put out a new ruleset doesn't mean you have to get it. Your old books aren't going to turn to dust the moment the new books hit the shelves.

Yeah 3.5 is an upgrade to the game. So to upgrade ET to 3.5 should include a small charge (and it is small ). I mean you dont expect to get the 3.5 rule books free from WotC just because you have the 3.0 ones do you? Of course not.

That said, i will be happy paying a few measly bucks to CMP for the 3.5 data for ET.. however I sure would like to get 3.0 working correctly. Its sooo close right now. Way better than its been, but there seem to be a couple bugs creeping out. Still good job CMP, looking forward to my next 3.0 patch and then the 3.5 data sets.

Peace

Well, PCGen will have the 3.5 SRD material for free, so there is that option too.

Does Code Monkey take checks/money order payment? If not, I'll wait until RPGNow.com can sell them.

Ranger - we're waiting on the 'snail pace of beauracracy' to finish up our new merchant account, then we'll be able to take checks as well as all kinds of plastic.

Should be sometime this week we're hoping.. the wheels have been grinding along for a while now...

As for getting them from RPGNow, not likely to happen... The mark-up required to make the same from us selling from our own website is prohibitive... *shrug* something could be worked out, but both RPGNow and ourselves do have to make a living (at least in theory! ).
