After the fallout between WotC and Trapdoor, the proposed D&D5E tools have been rebadged as Codename: Morningstar, based on the Pathfinder SRD instead. They've got a Kickstarter running for it.

It does look pretty good; I've always dreamed of the ultimate digital GM tools and this is a step towards it. I don't know how it will stack up to Hero Lab/Realm Works. (Still waiting for Realm Works to be available for Mac.)

I'm hoping it will support multiple systems down the track. Anyway, what do you all want from digital GM tools? Or are you happy with your current technology (e.g. binders/Evernote etc)? I tend to get excited about electronic GM widgets, but it's probably just to put off doing the hard yards on GM prep...

RPGXplorer has announced that they're intending to support the PRPG.

Yeah, but both Rpgxplorer and Hero Lab, the other product that currently supports the Pathfinder datasets, are Windows only. (I haven't used RPGX, but use Hero Lab and find it a nifty product. HL works under Virtual PC/Parallels for the Mac, if that's any consolation.)

I guess the only alternative is to organise a group to enter the appropriate data in PCGen, for non virtual Mac and Linux support.

I use Hero Lab for my World of Darkness campaign. But the latest release 2.0, has all of the Pathfinder data up until Pathfinder 7. *click, click*. This is what the release notes say: "Material from Pathfinder 5-7 has been added, including the Curse of the Crimson Throne player's guide."

Remember to get the pathfinder data set you have to fiddle with the options as it's not turned on by default.

Ron Edwards, in attempt to come up with some theory to better define roleplaying, wrote some essays on
Simulationism, Gamism and Narrativism.

It's bit 'heavy' and academic compared to the old powergamer vs storyteller vs buttkicker etc, but I found it interesting reading.

Hey everyone!

I love Leigh Brackett's stuff and was checking out the covers for the upcoming books. However, assuming that's Stark on the cover of the Giner Star: http://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/PZO/PZO8010_500.jpeg
... he's clearly white-skinned.

However, the character in the books is described with really dark skin, burned as black as his hair colour by close sun of Mercury. Check out this wikipedia article for more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_John_Stark

It'd be nice to see a cover picture of Stark for once that's accurate to the character detailed in the books.
