What will Masterplan be after the C&D?

[Wicht]

I just wish that there was a version that supported 3.5 or Pathfinder...

Paizo would likely be easier to work with it is true.

The creator could probably make a pretty good side income off of it if he got on the good side of the Pathfinder fans. As one of them I am practically BEGGING for some campaign management software for 3.5/Pathfinder.

I wouldn't agree with that....

Paizo hasn't released EVERYTHING into the OGL and this is what Masterplan did.

Truth is, us 4ons are begging for it too. And perhaps worse, we've been promised it before, only to have it either snatched away from us, or never materialise at all...

I think that ALL of us have been in this situation...from the start of 3e.

What would you need that has not been released? Deity information?

Masterplan for 3.5/Pathfinder? Very cool. Actually I could see it for other editions as well.

I think that part of master plans elegance is the 4e adventure delve style, but I think that could be useful for pathfinder and AD&D adventures... I'd dig it.

Ughhh. When are companies going to learn.

They create an API, post how to get information out of DDI and then wonder why people are using it?

The only thing that should have happened is them stopping the export of DDI material.

But, my guess is that they are working in a tool or 2 that does what MasterPlan does. So they kill the competition.

I get WHY they are doing it. They just have to be careful with what they are doing. They are going push whatever dedicated fans (the kind that actually create helpfull things) they have left over to Pathfinder.

Well, without seeing the C&D letter, and I'm sure part of it is that it can't be shown, then we really have no idea what part they objected too... Once MP 9 is out we might have some more info. I'll reserve my judgments then.

It wouldn't be that hard to dynamically load the info from the server that masterplan currently caches locally. It would slow things up slightly, but still make the program workable and within the limits of WotC's ToU.
