Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nathanael" data-source="post: 311067" data-attributes="member: 5784">The implication wasn't as severe as sabotage, but I thought it might have been part of the agreement you reached with WOTC to include a modification to 'correct' the use of non-SRD material, Leo. Hard to tell. The lack of information, which I assume is to let WOTC put their ducks in a row, but is also emblematic of their usual stifling of information, didn't help much either.As for Cergorach, point taken, and thanks for apologizing. The venom in my post is from the fact that I've invested in quite a few WOTC lines that have been cancelled outright or unsupported for stupid reasons. The idea of them doing it to a non-WOTC programme I positively love so they can sell more ETools, which is largely unavaiable, incomplete and from what I hear, not very well designed, just makes my blood boil. By the way, were those the 2.73 files you sent me?As an addendum to anything I've ever posted, I have a good reason to be irritated with WOTC. Despite their usual cancelling of lines that don't meet their inflated Hasbro profit margins, I had high hopes for ETools after talking to Scott of Fluid. I was ready to go out and buy the thing based on what he assured the public. Due to WOTCs disastrous marketing strategy of limited release (no doubt to save them time on determining whether they wanted to cancel it early), price gouging that directly resulted from their selling the game to distributors at almost full price (one supposes to encourage store owners to raise the price to make a minimum profit which in turn encourages gamers to buy from SVGames directly) and a product that seems more like an extended beta test from all reports and which requires the customers to do most of the work, I have had it with this company and want to see someone else helming the D&D ship.My original question was legit: how do I get PCGen  to work with my old files? The tone was coloured by my extreme exhaustion with the way WOTC does business. Sorry. But I love D&D and I'd hate to see it disappear due to bad management and this seems to be the way it's going.As an ex-employee of the corporate world, I also have very personal feelings (hey, I admit it) about the way they do business and hate to see employees, customers and everyone not at the top of the company get the shaft so an executive can buy a new 100 foot boat. I think a lot of other people screwed by the way corporations run our economy into the ground would agree...</blockquote>
