Palm Handheld Goodies!

On this page I will be collecting the various utilities, databases, and documents that I've created for the Palm. Currently, the list is very sparse. I have quite a bit of stuff that I'm working on, and it will be posted here when it's ready for mass consumption.

TinyBytes

Have you heard of ThinkDB? It's an amazing relational database system for the Palm, created by thinkingBytes Technologies. Databases for ThinkDB are called TinyBytes, and what I have created and collected here are some TinyBytes that might be useful to the Dungeons & Dragons community.

3rd Edition Spells (549 KB)

This is a database of the entire spell listing of the Open Gaming Foundation system reference document. It is rather large, and some of the spell description formatting could use a bit of work. But it is useful, searchable, and downright cool!

Note: If anybody out there has a snippet of Perl code that can easily transform those HTML descriptions into a good Palm memo format, please share! Currently I'm just stripping out the HTML tags, which is a bit messy in some places.

Other Applications

This is a collection of databases and documents for other great Palm applications.

3rd Edition Spells for Pilot-DB (551 KB)

A while back I stopped using ThinkDB and switched to Pilot-DB, which is an open-source GPLed database for the Palm. This database is identical to the database above, but for Pilot-DB instead. It is entirely likely that I will not create any new TinyBytes, so you better enjoy this.

D20 Weather Effects (2 KB)

This is a handy document in DOC format. You will need a DOC reader to use this, such as TealDoc or Quickword. The information was taken from the Waterdeep Weather article on the WotC site.

NPC Database (coming soon!)

This is a really cool thing that is nearly done. It's a free online database that DMs can easily link into their campaign homepages, or just use as a standalone page. It's a great reference tool that lets you and your players keep track of NPCs, their descriptions, locations, and other great prizes. It's usable with any gaming system!

Right now I'm working on some finishing touches, and soon you will be able to sync the online database with your Palm device, after a fashion. If there are any interested beta testers out there, please drop me an e-mail and we'll chat.
