DnD DM 3.5e Essentials---Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master 3.5

DnD DM 3.5e Essentials---Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master 3.5 Essentials Welcome, DMs, GMs, Potentials of the above, Players, Friends, and others, I hope you enjoy this. This is a compilation of software that I have found that is vital to my DMing. All of these are previously torrented, but I've put them together specifically for all of you. An overview: Books: These are from a huge torrent, all on the 3.0 and 3.5 system. CC3: Campaign Cartographer 3. Do a google search on campaign cartographer 3 video tutorials. Very powerful software. D&D eTools: Produced by Wizards in conjunction with Fluid Software, this is a great piece of software. It takes care of all character creation, as well as random monster, character, ect. generation. It's very easy to use, and I recommend at least taking a few moments to install the main program, labeled Full Program. It's very nice stuff, encompassing all the feats, the AC, bonuses, skills, ect. Very neat stuff. Fantasy Grounds II: This is the crowning achievement of the torrent, as it is very powerful stuff. It is tabletop software, allowing you to construct your stories perfectly. Let me go over some of the features that and paint you a picture of how I use it. Everyone brings a laptop. They already have a character stored in their local directory (We usually use eTools to make the character first then port the info over) We start the story, I narrate stuff, all rolls are made on the chat window. All the rolls are a click away, whether it be a skill check, attack, or damage. There is a great combat tracker and mapping system. Any image can be a map. The grid can be laid with Fantasy grounds, characters are locked to the grid. A fog of war can be used on the map. All in all, a wonderful compilation of software. Install notes: Books: No install, just read. CC3: Run the reg file. CC3 is best used on WIN XP computers. I couldn't get it to work properly on my Win 7 Ult 64 bit. Reading around the interwebz, I found out about this being a known issue. I recommend getting a very cheap hard drive and using that as your Win XP drive. It's very easy to hook up a new hard drive, consider it a learning experience. Download Win XP torrent on whatever. Reg file merged to the reg? Excellent! Make Folder ProFantasy in Program files Move the file to C:\Program Files\ProFantasy It's ready to go. eTools: Install the Full Program. Install the others as desired. I also have Core Rules Bundled installed. Thats it, there is no more cracking. FGII: This one will be a bit odd. Go to the RegKey folder. R-Click on the appropriate FGII.reg and edit it. Change the License Key to whatever you want it to be, adhering to the format provided. (i.e. replace all the x's but keep the dashes every fifth letter) Note: In FGII, please don't use the d20 ruleset, use the d20-jpg ruleset. You may not know what I mean right now, but you will when it is installed. If it isn't installed correctly, player portraits won't show up correctly when you create a local character.

I'm sorry, I do want to mention that in addition to not seeing portraits on FGII, you won't see additional rulesets. I'm sure it would be very confusing only seeing the one ruleset that didn't work! So just be careful! Make sure to remember if you have a 32-bit system or a 64-bit system.

I mean, in reference to the above comment, if you don't install the proper regkey. Hopefully this will be a non-issue, but either way, good luck, comment if you need help. I'm happy to do so

I'm so sorry on some of these horrible instructions on the FGII. Please excuse that. After finishing the reg edit, move the file to C:\Program Files (x86) for vista/Win 7, or C:\Program Files for XP
if it still doesn't work, just remember, if you have a 64-bit version, place it in the (x86) folder and run the vista/win 7 regkey. If you have a 32-bit, run the XP regkey and place the FGII folder in the Program Files folder

I managed to get cc3 working on my windows 7 starter laptop by running it in compatibility mode and as administrator.
