Welcome to OpenRPG
Welcome to OpenRPG, I'm Chris Davis (aka posterboy on the old forums). I started the OpenRPG project way back in January of 2000.
It's been a long time (several years) since I've actively developed OpenRPG. Through the years many other developers have taken up the torch and improved OpenRPG. Currently, there is no active development on OpenRPG. If you would like to play with the code, you can grab it from the SourceForge site.
I've moved the website here under my company's website so I more easily maintain it. If you have a link that needs to be added, please email it to me.

I needed to upgrade to different forum software due to the constant spam attacks on the old forums. The new forums are at the same link: http://www.rpgobjects.com/forum.

I said I was going to blog more, and here it is. If I manage to keep a consistent pace, I'll give this blog a name ("RPG Hack" I think). But until I prove that to myself, this is just a drive-by blog.
As I said in my last blog, I'm focusing on software now. For the month leading up to and after gencon, I spent a lot of my time thinking about what I was going to work on. One thing on my short list was an new version of OpenRPG. It wasn't what I picked to do first, but it's still on my radar. ...Read more

It's been a while since I announced that I was taking a step back and gave the gencon postmortem. While I have made posts and released some stuff since then, I wanted to peek my head out of my foxhole and follow up.

Sometime ago I release an experimental product, the Modern^20 Webbook. I got a lot of positive feedback but not a ton of sales. I was committed to a webbook for Voyages of Discovery (which is complete). So I decided to give access the Voyages of Discovery webbook FREE with the purchase of the PDF or print book.
In addition, I will discontinue selling the Modern^20 Webbook and give access to that with purchase of Modern^20. For those that did purchase access, I don't want you to feel slighted, so contact me for a free book or credit towards a new purchase.
I may still play with the format and I would like to import all the Modern^20 supplements into the webbook, but only as time permits.

Dj Gilcrease created a Google App Engine version of the Meta server
(http://orpgmeta.appspot.com/) to help reduce the fail rate of the
Meta server. You'll need to start using the new Meta by the end
of July.

Once again when I wasn't looking a group of kind souls has shepherded OpenRPG (my baby) to another release (a few actually). This lastest version is extra special becasue the Windows installer version has all the dependencies included! Great job developers! So visits the OpenRPG page and download the latest version.
A very special thanks to Tyler Starke, Dj Gilcrease, and David Byron for all your hard work!

The PODCast returns with a new shorten format. I'm trying to experiment here a little with a weekly 15 min podcast. I'm solo in this one, but hopefully Chuck will join me next week. In this episode, I try to elaborate on the WebBook format.

I've introducing a new type of book, called the WebBook, starting with Modern20. If you already own Modern20, you can give it a try for only $2 via the Bundle+(you only pay for the book you don't own).
I'm hoping people will respond to this new format. For more on how this came about and its future please read on... ...Read more
