of Dice and Dragons

If you’re familiar with the Wizards’ website you know that they maintain a consolidated list of resources to make it easier to find that class, race or reference. The issue is that it’s online which makes it difficult to use when you’re not connected to the Internet.

I’ve always thought this resource would be nice to have off-line and apparently so did Stephen J Miller over at Creative Mountain Games. He took and compiled all the information from the consolidated lists and created a multi-tabbed spreadsheet. The file is in Microsoft Excel format and it does open in OpenOffice without an issue - grab a copy of it here.

May your dice roll well.

In some of my past posts I’ve mentioned the use of portable applications to manage things such things as your character sheet or, if you run a character that wields spells, your spell list or book and while these work well for me I know that others would prefer to use online applications.

The topic of online applications, in particular Google, was the subject of the post
Enhancing Your RPG Games with Google over at The Immaterial Plane. Amaril offers up some interesting tips and ideas that are well worth a look, especially for those groups that are connected all the time (or at least have a connection available to someone at the table), be sure and check it out.
