[QUOTE="Ferghis, post: 3279111, member: 40483"] I gotta say, I've been following this thread since the get go, and I'm really happy with where it's going. I feel very much like the OP: I spend a few days with each of the free/demo softwares out there, only to end up switching to excel and writing up my own sheet (mainly because I'm a little familiar with excel, so it was mostly a comfort zone thing). I think with RPGs like D&D, and to some extent with RPGs in general, software support is really the way to go. But the way WotC puts out publications, it's a steep hill just to keep up with them. After all, the new rules are more exceptions than hard and fast rules. I do. I'd much rather have an RPG book in PDF than in hardcover. I can consult it much more easily, search it, and have all the books in one neat little place, without worrying about wear or tear. The problem is, as far as I know, that WotC doesn't like the electronic market much. They'd rather stick with the hardcopy sales. [/QUOTE]
