I agree completely! I think that tools can be available to those that want
them, but not nessecary to use any supplements we create.

Right Now Due to copyright laws we are not able to freely distribute
the digital version from the secret distributor. However, the old TSR
entity did release a statement that said you could create fan
supplements and rule variations as long as they were original.

I agree that the use of electronic tools should play some part in how
we proceed but there is probably two things that we do not want to do:

1. Alienate users by keeping those without the technology from
participating (for every person online there maybe several offline
players that want to play as well).

2. Break spirit of what makes DQ, well, DQ.  A game has a feel about it
based on the way the rules are laid out presented and played.  We want
to ensure that we do not break with that tradition.
