Depending on the wording of the agreement it could have led to considerably more.As for playing cards, I think they both played their hands well. Those folks who purchased E-Tools may finally have a worthwhile program, while we PCGen users will see the return of the IP material.It will be interesting to see if the amount of OGL material being made available for PCGen decreases, or as I suspect, it increases as the user base increases and the lst editors become more functional. PCGen does not rely solely on the work of the artists currently known as Code Monkey. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Only the WoTC OP material is being solely only by CMP.I have heard a lot of complaints that the Splatbook material should have remained free. Well, I must admit I like free, <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> but I am sure that WoTC will want compensation for their material, and now that they are under contract so will CMP.There also seems to be a fear that PCGen's lst files will suddenly stop working. I have my doubts about that, I suspect that PCGen will, over the course of this next year, finish nailing down their data format and the material will continue to function just fine. Just make sure you make backups of any purchased lst files so if you suffer a hardware failure or simply purchase a new computer you do not lose that data. The Auld Grump, for once feeling optimistic....</blockquote>
