This list included every pie-in-the-sky request people could dream up.  We've taken that list, broken it down into 'Core program', 'Add-on', and 'not a chance' (Okay, we as GM's do NOT need to track the migratory patterns of animals during the seasons in a program automatically or GPS positioning of characters on a map - cool as those are, that's just insane.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> ).The big things for the core are (generalizing);1. Correctness (math & rules implementation)2. Flexibility3. Fully functioning EditorsWe're focusing on those 3 areas for RPG Toolkit... With the years of PCGen Coding, fixing e-Tools, the licensing factor with Wizards, and just the amount of anal retentiveness in our gaming/coding experience, doing things from the ground up (as opposed to inheriting someone else's work), not as an Open Source project (i.e. 1 vision/direction, not 30), we'll be able to address these core issues in a very direct, concise manner.Do we expect that RPG Toolkit will be right for everyone?  Nope.  Someone will always find fault with a program, that's just the way it is.  But our desire is that we will build the character generator that most people have wanted since 3.0 was released, and that's all we can aim for, pleasing as many people as possible, instead of trying to please all people and failing.</blockquote>
