I was working on a system for Palladium and may convert it over to .NET and finish it up for them, haven't decided yet. I've toyed with the idea of creating an app for D&D and other systems in .NET, my problem is time constraints. I would be more then willing to put forth a joint effort to develop such a app.As for cross platform, GNU currently supports C# from everything I have read and several other platforms are looking in to it. C# is a great step forward in the evolution of the C language, but it would be nice if it was not dependent on the .NET Framework. But on the other hand, all new PCs ship with WinXP which has the Framework built in, so the only users that would have to download the Framework would be the ones that are not running XP.Regardless, of what language you use or what platform it runs on, there are Licensing issues that have to be addressed before distribution of any software. The D20 system of D&D may be reminiscent of "open-source", but I'd be willing to bet that they would not approve of copying the books into an app for distribution with out permission.-Hawks Talon, MCP</blockquote>
