[QUOTE="d20fool, post: 1983039, member: 5956"] [b]Finally got SRD downloaded![/b] I ended up using Plucker after all. I had to reinstall it, and restart the computer to get it to parse the thing, all 2.5 megs of it. But it worked. I had to set the limit of links on three to get everything. [I]Edit: I am still missing artifacts in this version, I cannot get it to compile versions with a depth of 4 links.[/I] I LOVE my SRD on my palm. It's too cool, I can hardly wait to use it at the gaming table. It's very tempting to make an SRD + OGC site with added rules, monsters, spells, variants, and so on. That'll have to be a dream for now. A lot of people have noted that programs replicate things that are simple to do at the table, and you're right. I however am hoping to get my palm to the point where it helps not only at the game table, but would allow me to DM a game, say, in a moving car (perfect for going to a convention) or running a pickup game easily with a box of miniature character sheets, maps and minis I could keep in my trunk. Of the programs I've downloaded, here are some reviews: Combat-Q Nice for initiative tracking, but the price is VERY high for something that can me noted on scratch paper. Apprentice continues to impress me. I haven't run into any crash issues yet. D&D tools is great, with XP calculator, travel time calculator, and undead turning calculator. You have to upload a bunch of other programs to make it work though. DicePro is awesome, 'nuff said DnD Income is curious, a program to show profitibility of running a medieval tavern. Interesting, apparently well done, but of dubious utility. DnD Names generates tavern names, group names, and store names. I wonder if the registered version does character names, 'cause that's what I want in a program. KiRoller, I still haven't figured this one out. ACE XP Calculator- Nice, although the freeware one above does the same thing to a limited degree. This version tallies but does not give a total (!)[I]Edit: Not true, the total is in the upper part of the screen, apologies. This program rocks.[/I] The registered version is suppoused to keep track of XP over time, but I'm not sure that's worth $10. I haven't used any of these in a session. We'll see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
