Nathanael said:Considering the lack of ETools availability around the US, and the limited scope of that programme, I highly doubt its users outnumber PCGen users. Especially since Mac users can use PCGen without PC Emulators.
I know. I mean that's the reason why we (GMs and players) want this kind of software to do for us. But we also have lazy GM's who would rather have someone else to do the inputting for them.smetzger said:
They are already doing this by providing a place for users to upload files.
Maggan said:As a Mac-user I'm happy to see the Mac being used as an argument for the higher adoption of PCGen vs the adoption of eTools.
Lily Inverse said:Well, one reason is that one key use of a character generator is the electronic exchange of information. If ONE gamer in a group uses a Mac, Linux, BSD, or whatever, the entire group is forced to use PCGen to exchange data natively. That will lead the group to trying PCGen, which, if it has native support for their product, they will likely stick to rather than retooling E-Tools . . . .
DM said:Has PcGen actually received anything “official” yet, i.e. a letter or other document? Are the other 2 companies getting a cease and desist orders or just a slap on the wrist like PcGen has apparently received? If this rumor is true, I’d think that an “official” contact would have gone out by know to the parties in question. Is there any other source to the validity of this situation other than a post on a message board?
I guess we’ll (eventually) find out, one way or another.
