Once I installed Python and OpenRPG, I discovered that it has two "start" files. If you don't want a MS-DOS box appearing when you start this application, use the "start" without the console.

This link leads to a patch that would add plug-in support to Version 1.6.1 of OpenRPG.(Already includes some plug-ins, and it appears they can be toggled on and off by the GM.)

This may be of use. It appears to be a character generation program capable of using the d20 and D&D 3.5 rules. It also seems to be capable of using templates and saving character information.

I was involved in something simular that ran for six months before dying. To many cheaters, poor administrators, and to much work. I would rather just play SEIV.

It takes some time for the .bat file for the PC Gen program to be finish constructing itself.(After semi-automated extraction of the files to a folder.)

From there, it takes about half-hour to start seeing how to use it correctly.(Though I am still unaware as to how I may add weapon proficiencies to my character, but then again, he is a monk.)

By the way, I believe the source matierial you should use for the PC Gen program is "3.5 RSRD".

In any case, if OpenRPG does not work out, I can probably play the game via AIM.


EDIT: I may have found an alternative to PC Gen. It is called Redblade 3.5e, and from judging what I have done so far, it is more user-friendly.
