[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2535665, member: 22622"] I'm sorry, we're not talking about e-tools, we're talking about dmgenie. The scripts are no more WOTC's IP than my note's from my program. WOTC did not produce the scripts. Us programers program in things we need into the system and give them to others so that they do not have to do the programming. WE do not gouge or double gogue the user. All I"m saying is that dmgenie is easier to program with and easier to share the notes that you've programed. 30 bucks for 10 prcs and some feats is something that may fly with e-tools (ahh i remember the days when e-tools and pc-gen were for the community) but if i could easily program them in or do my share to program a script with another program that does the same functionality for free I'd rather go that route. I'm not saying wotc's not rich and can win any courtcase it wants. Thus the demise of pc-gen. I'm saying that DMgenie is simple, virtual basic and the classes and feats of any book can be programmed in very easily by a novice. There are many forums that you can contact users who will share their programmed scripts with and you don't have to worry about 30 dollar editions for a 40 dollar book you already bought. [/QUOTE]
