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 g
reat 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 ma
in program, labeled Full Program.
It's very nice stuff, encompassing all the feats, the AC, bonuses, s
kills, ect. Very neat stuff.
Fantasy Grounds II: This is the crowning achievement of the torrent, as it is ve
ry powerful stuff. It is tabletop
software, allowing you to construct your stories perfectly. Let me g
o 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 fir
st 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 ch
eck, attack, or damage.
There is a great combat tracker and mapping system.
Any image can be a map. The grid can be laid with Fantas
y 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 i
t 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 torren
t 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 Cor
e 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 fo
rmat 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 ma
y not know what I mean right now,
but you will when it is installed. If it isn't installed correctly, play
er portraits won't show up
correctly when you create a local character.
