Yes, its been a long time running. Its also been a long time between posts. A lot has changed in my personal life that is making things run a bit slower. The delays led to some conversations with one of my testers about the progress of DPnP, why things are not finished, and what still needs to be done. Those questions were interesting to me and got me thinking that those answers should be delivered publicly as well. The small Q&A below is paraphrased but you get the idea.

Development continues, but not without its hiccups. However, there is good news as I still feel that I should meet the release date of July. Specifically when is still up in the air. However, a final Character Generator and a Character Manager are nearing completion. Then I have some bugs to hunt down and fix. So, what’s the good news? Simply put its…

Yeah, I was scratching the edge of completion on the character generator, but I still haven’t crossed over. Some difficulties remain, but I am working on them. They all fall within two elements still not finished. However, today may mean the completion (finally) of one of them. The other hurdle is not past, but I have a way over it so it is only a matter of time. So the question you have been asking, a release date, will be…

Yeah, yeah. Its been a while between posts. Too long in fact. There really is no reason except for the lack of progress up until last week. Furthermore, there is a new development coming along I can’t really divulge yet until some things are final. So, I am sorry for the silence, and the lack of any real news. However, there is some coming and I can’t wait to divulge it. As for progress, well I am happy to report that I have made some really large leaps and broken through a particularly challenging part of the character generator.

The DPnP system so far is developed primarily for two purposes: creating and managing campaigns, and creating and managing characters. One of the first future expansions to the suite will be to create an adventure creator. However, I have found that DPnP is still quite useful in the creation of adventures out of the box (per say as there is no real box).

I was hoping to have some good screen shots to show concerning this article. However, I spent the better part of last week engaged in a serious migraine battle that threatened to put me back in the hospital. I think we have the problem identified with this and should have it resolved this week. However, that slowed down some progress. However, the Digital GM Screen is a huge addition to the CRM. Its potential is immense. It not only handles basic information, but it also has tools to allow you to run some amazing scenarios that would just be too cumbersome to do without it.

There is on element of DPnP’s success that is somewhat out of my control. That element is community involvement. Ironwood has a community forum that receives some lurker traffic but not much discussion. That forum is really just a placeholder. While all of the forum is a valid community forum, there are large sections that will be or is dedicated to growth through DPnP. The idea is simple, you create content, then you share it with the community. This is an important feature as it makes a potentially limitless library of content available for free. (more…)

Digital Pen n Paper’s Campaign Resource Manager was initially designed specifically as a content creation tool for project development. In essence, we created the CRM to build RPG books of varying types. So what does that mean for you?

As promised in last week’s post I will be expanding on what you will be able to accomplish with DPnP. Today we start with the most obvious: Campaign Building. (more…)

There still seems to be some confusion about the exact roll DPnP will play in your gaming. I am going to try to lay that out quickly here. I will also be compiling a PDF on all of the features concerning the release products and the potential of the system.
