Re: [NTLK] newtontalk Digest V8 #118

Our DM does not allow electronic die-rollers, and I think rolling
physical dice is actually more fun, but thanks for the offer!

I'll definitely look into converting the 3.5 SRD into something readable
on Newt's Cape, and it sounds like there are many possible solutions to
the electonic character sheet challenge. Annotated mapping seems
tricky, but I think it's doable.

I can answer some of your D&D questions.

I use a 2100 or an Emate or both when I play. I use Newton Press to make
character sheets into Newton books. I have written two applications for the
Newton for Role playing. I wrote an application called "Tally" for keeping
track of numbers including hit points. I also wrote a dice roller database
form my characters. For each character it holds 4 pages of 10 predefined
dice rolls, IE. 2D6+4 and has a 5th page for just generic dice D2 through
D100. "Tally" I have for download on my website. The Die roller I have not
posted yet because you are the only other gamer I've heard of on the list
here. There is also a die roller from Shane David Hill call DD_Dice that
rolls your basic dice. It is free and available on UNNA. Finally, I use
Ebase, a database application, when I am the DM for holding Defense values
and Initiatives. It is great for Initiatives as it will reorder a list with
just one tap. So you get all the Initiatives of the players and the
NPC/monsters then one tap and the they are ordered for use.

Let me know if you are interested in my Dice roller.
