PCGen question

[adienpryde]

With PCGen being OGL and D20 complient they havn't had any of the source books with the software. Is there any place I can get add-ons to get them into PCGen 4.2?

 

[Hardhead]

Officially, no.

 

[adienpryde]

Un-offically?

 

[Knightcrawler]

What exactly are you asking for? Are you asking about the pulled WotC sources or something else?

 

[adienpryde]

The WotC sources like the pre-4.0 release that had the Sword and Fist and other books like that.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PCGEN - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!

PCGen is OGL or D20 compliant as of Version 4.0.0 release on Friday Sept 13, 2002! Now our goal is to acquire permission from Wizards of the Coast Inc. for all their non-SRD material (anything other than the PHB, MM, DMG and Psionics Handbook). To avoid some common hot-topics that have been beat to death, here are some basic ground rules for posting on our yahoo board:

1. Don't ask about where the data files for Wotc's splatbooks are - they aren't SRD and we're working on getting Wotc's permission for them - it isn't a sure thing though we think our chances are fairly good.
2. Don't attack Wotc or any of its products (including ETools!) since doing so will definitely cloud our negotiations with them for their non-SRD material. Griping about them generally isn't on-topic anyway since we're mostly interested in feedback on what you think about PCGen, bug reports, feature requests or ideas on how to improve the documentation, presentation or anything else PCGen related.
3. If you correct (i.e. flame!) someone else and they return the compliment, drop it at that. If you feel the other poster was out of line, send an email to pcgen-owner@yahoogroups.com which will be sent to all the moderators who will take the appropriate action (ban user and/or delete post and/or issue warning on or off list).

We like to keep things friendly, polite, respectful and on-topic. We like to help newbies figure out how to get the most out of PCGen, including getting the hang of creating their own data files. If you know how we could do something different to make using PCGen more intuitive, we're all ears. If you want to get involved in any way, let us know - there's plenty to do!

Thanks.

Due to some previous problems we have had, I will close this thread at this point. Kingpaul's response, however, pretty much sums up the situation with regard to the pulled materials from the PCGen program.
