1). I'm interested in these links just enough to find this thread, but not enough to bookmark them--or I'm very interested in the links but don't want to litter my business casual bookmark list with them. And I hate searching for burried threads.
This thread is linked in the General FAQ, which is stickied at the top of this board. So it will always be easy to find.
You can add other links to the thread - just remember to keep it D&D related, of general interest - and of course CoC compliant.
Note: This is a repost from the old boards. Some links may point to the old boards for a while, until the threads are moved here (and I discover they have been moved). Other threads will only exist in their arhvived state, I suppose.

That's what I can think of now. If you don't like a link, don't flame me - I'm just the messenger. If a link a broken, please post that.
I hope you'll forgive me, but I'm a bit slow updating the main links post currently.
There's still some changes happening from the move from the old boards to the new, and some threads replacing old threads because of the update to 3.5.
As I don't want to do too much work twice I've kind of been planning to let the thread lay low for a while, till when things seem to have settled a bit. Then I'll try to come up with a structure that will make it easy to find links to both 3.0 and 3.5 stuff, and old threads, as well as current versions.
But please keep posting links. They won't be forgotten (and as long as the thread isn't any longer, they'll still be easy to find).
I finally got around to doing an update. Sorry about the delay, guys.
And I know I need to link a lot of threads that have appeared here recently; and I need to remove a lot of the old stuff, as the links are no longer good. That will have to wait for now, though.
But the thread is still alive, so keep posting
The current version is >here<, or >here< for the smaller, less-crisp one. It's being updated so fast, though: >here's the thread it's happening in<.

Hello Unda...
I have a file that I would like you to put on your list...
It is an automated, fully computerized 3.5E character sheet based off of the official character sheet realeased from WotC...
But the problem is that we are constantly pumping out new versions of the file.
I mean, just a couple weeks ago we had version 2.0, and now it is version 4.7.0!
The link to the current file is in my signature if your interested!
Hey, look three posts back Kevmann.

I update my signature with each new version, mabie that way whenever she comes back on she will get the newer version instead of the older one.
1). Every link deserves a little peer review, and the thread format facilitates this
2). It's perhaps easier to append new links in the thread format
Two pro points:
1). I'm interested in these links just enough to find this thread, but not enough to bookmark them--or I'm very interested in the links but don't want to litter my business casual bookmark list with them. And I hate searching for burried threads.
2). Maybe I'm not alone in this.
