[QUOTE="bloodydrake, post: 723243, member: 10429"] sorry your missunderstanding what i'm trying to say. Etools: Its a retail product by wizards... I pay full retail for it..its buggy and lacking in alot of area's..but the community support fills in those holes. Now Pcgen and etools will be both be given access to the same data files and the end user will now have to pay for them regardless of wether its for etools or pcgen. Now due to this IF..(big if) the community files are removed due to this DEAL I see a problem. This i feel is wrong I've already paid retail cost for an official DnD character/npc generator with the ability to create my own custom data for other source books not included with it.. If now things are turned around and people are made to remove homegrown data for etools and i have TO PAY AGAIN to get it ..thats crap,I already paid wizards for their Character/NPC generator. IF thats how its going to work..might as well just delete etools completely from product market because it will have no benifit over pcgen other then it cost the user and extra 40 bucks for the privilage of buying it..that makes no sense at all. So yes as a retail procuct i think etools users should have access to these files for either no extra cost or far less of a cost then pcgen users. [/QUOTE]
