I am the owner of the Tablesmith Yahoogroup. Tablesmith is a program that will automate the rolling of dice for a table, such as a potion description table or NPC items. Recently someone posted a couple of tables to the group. The zip file was password protected with a word from the Dungeon magazine article in which the table was published. Do the editors at Paizo consider that to be enough protection of their copyright or would you prefer that I remove the material? I am not planning on debating or contesting the issue and will communicate your decision to the group.
Thanks,

Two things: one, you haven't mentioned what the contents are; two, it's highly likely that copyright on the material you're talking about is held by Wizards of the Coast, so you'd have to ask them...

Where do you get this "tablesmith"? And/or programs like it? I don't have a lot of time online, so I don't know where to find these wonderful time saving programs. Thanks.

The program is on http://www.mythosa.net/Utils.html. The Yahoogroup is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TableSmith, which has discussion, help and tables.

So far there has been a potion description table and a scroll description table, both I think from the same magazine.
Thanks for the info, I will contact WotC.

My first contact with WotC suggested that the decision would be made by Paizo, since they published the material.

That's kind of nutty, as they own it... but if you send the complete details about exactly what you're using, from where, and for what purpose, to dungeon@paizo.com, they'll look into it for you. (Which probably means passing it on to WotC....)
