[QUOTE="Luke, post: 726962, member: 602"] No problem. Not weighing in, just clarifying some RPM points. On my website: 4th menu option is "Register RPM", and line 6 on that page under "Benefits of registering" is "Free updates of RolePlayingMaster". I take your point, however, since I've answered about 4 e-mails from [i]current[/i] RPM users asking me if they needed to pay to upgrade to RPM 3.0 !!! I've also spent a fair bit of "internet phone time" showing big-time RPM fans just how much they can actually do with the program. I [i]really[/i] sell myself short on advertising RPM's capabilities :rolleyes: . Thankfully, somebody massively keen on it is putting together a whole bunch of tutorials for it, whilst I continue coding :) Thanks for frank words on DMF, Todd. Perhaps Chris (TwinRose) has something to say about making money from RPG software? I think you'll find that we all either start out, or end up, doing it for the love of it. In the end, it appears that even PCGen are going to see quality benefits in moving to a cost-model. In the final analysis, I'd suggest that WotC were saved by community doing it for the love of it. PCGen saves ETools? If so, it was the existence of a dedicated group doing it for love that saved the failed commercial attempt. Even Wizards couldn't make money from RPG software ??? Ironies abound, and we live in interesting times... Regards, [/QUOTE]
