Besides getting to actually touch/use a couple co-workers’ iPads (I love iCal on it), my friend Jeremy whipped together a D&D-based application in time for the product’s launch.
What is Power Attack XL? It’s the core rules of the 3.5 version allowed to be republished through WOTC’s OGL agreement; aka the PHB in a portable, electronic and flashier package. He has refinements planned and if you have suggestions, let him know directly or through me. There is a smaller, cheaper version for the iPhone/iPod Touch but at my “advanced” age, I don’t really like reading off a small display for a hobby.
I hope to help him with some other electronic aids for D&D and/or Pathfinder, the better, refined version of 3.5 since Power Attack XL is “wrong” on a few key elements: Pathfinder fixes many of what I feel were D&D’s shortcomings.
Another gamer I knew asked for 4E instead. My reply was to ask Jeremy. Personally, making anything for 4E is a waste of time. There already is a version, it’s called World of Warcraft since the new revisions are just pre-arranged battles with miniatures for the socially retarded who like to mash buttons and say they roleplay.
Yes! Thank you! I agree with you about 4E, it’s a video game without the video part. I just was wondering if you can add custom content to this app? I have A LOT of spells I use that aren’t int the PHB, and need a place to collect them, besides an 8$ app that isn’t even supported on the iPad natively. If I can, I’d most certainly download this over any other app.
