SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: kythri;470990The e-Tools program that was eventually spawned from the Character Builder preview CD in the 3E PHB was, for the most part, pretty cool, and had the potential to be so much better.  The inept idiot running "Code Monkey Publishing", the "company" contracted by WotC to turn it into something usable, on the other hand...lies about support/patch promises, vaporware, etc.

I'd sad that the software never got the promised patches during the 2-year window that WotC gave them to "finish" - vindictively happy that his business seems to have failed.  It seems every news update was another excuse of "people I hired let me down, it's everyone's fault but mine!"

Additionally, it sucks that I'm not going to be able to complete my collection of datasets or game modes for the software.  That said, the EULA for the software explicitly allows the legal transfer of ownership of the software and datasets, so if anyone out there has stuff for it they want to get rid of, PM me - I'm especially looking for the D20 Modern game mode and accompanying datasets.

I seem to recall e-Tools being pretty complete, and pretty complex...the last time I seriously played d20 D&D was in...2005?  2006?  Good lord, that long ago?  Anyway, e-Tools would randomly crash or just hog system resources on my 2.2ghz (single core) machine with either a gig or two of memory.

Oh well, the "e-Tools" I need are a lot lighter weight :D
