[QUOTE="Leopold, post: 306933, member: 758"] we did have some type of 'permission' from WoTC a long time ago but nothing offical. The details are sketchy and I am not completely sure of them but I know emails were exchanged by but whom and who I don't know for sure. well that seems a bit harsher than it really was. PCGen still is a fanbased tool and application. We feel that reaching out to all gamers regardless of system used or game utilized is key. Hence we asked every publisher that we could for permission to allow us to use them. What we got was a bunch of people on the list saying "What product is this? What does it do? It's in PCGen so I must buy it!" or "I refuse to buy it until it's in PCGEN!" Variations of those have occured but it still is to the publishers advantage to allow PC's to be created using PCGen as it does not cost them a thing and makes for great PR. I am merely one voice among hundreds who are pleased that the community enjoys the work. My role is small compared to others but just knowing that people like the product make it all worthwhile. thank you Luke for the kind words. I know we work hard to bring the community the best that they deserve. The future for us is bright and it is a great thing to see the community supporting us as we do for them. [/QUOTE]
