I think there&#39;s a niche here that needs to be filled -- there are other sound effects programs for RPGs, but they&#39;re neither as simple to use or as reliable to run.</p> <p>To that end, I did a little research on outfits similar to Kickstarter, but that can be accessed in the UK.</p> <p>uk:<br /> <a href="http://wedidthis.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://wedidthis.org.uk/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.wefund.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wefund.co.uk/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/</a></p> <p>international:<br /> <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.indiegogo.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.ulule.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ulule.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://rockethub.com" rel="nofollow">http://rockethub.com</a></p> <p>What do you think, Iain? </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/epic-sadness/page/2#post-244 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:16:00 +0000 AlHazred 244@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>I, for one, use this product a lot as GM. Something like Kickstarter must exist in the UK; I&#39;d definitely be in for some development assistance! </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/settling-into-the-palace-of-cardboard#post-243 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:45:27 +0000 ikabodo 243@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Any news? </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/settling-into-the-palace-of-cardboard#post-241 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 05:29:35 +0000 diogenes 241@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>But also, I&#39;d just be delighted to see this project going forward in whatever direction. It&#39;s become a routine part of my DM&#39;ing process, and I have a blast just fiddling around with sounds and prepping the next big encounter. It&#39;s a great program and I&#39;d love to see it get even better. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/settling-into-the-palace-of-cardboard#post-240 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 05:28:15 +0000 diogenes 240@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>I agree that the piracy issue is a real one, but I&#39;d also like to be able to take a scene I&#39;ve made under one file and move it into another easily. For instance, I made a button that gives me melee combat noises under my &quot;Dungeon&quot; file, and I&#39;d like to be able to straightforwardly copy and paste it into my other Softrope files without a hassle. But so far as I know, if I want that same combat button to be available in a different Softrope file, I have to recreate the whole thing from scratch. So there&#39;s a use for that sharing ability even if it&#39;s only for sharing with myself.<br /> But also re: piracy, I made a lot of scenes that are just sound effects and which use nothing but sound files I downloaded from royalty free sites (of which there are several.) There should be no problem sharing those. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/epic-sadness/page/2#post-239 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 04:12:59 +0000 Thraug 239@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>I also use Softrope for my D&amp;D campaign. I wanted to add hundreds of sound files and looked for an option to specify as directory of sound file to chose randomly from, but this option doesn&#39;t exist. I see the save file is xml so I plan on trying to add the files through a text editor I use that has a nice macro feature. This will take 20 seconds opposed to god knows how long adding each of the hundreds of sound files using Softrope&#39;s GUI. :)</p> <p>I hope you continue this project, I love it! </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/google-plus#post-238 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 15:53:44 +0000 Frans 238@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Google+ sounds like a great mix of everything Facebook and Twitter offer. Not to mention other sites. I recently watched a youtube clip about it. </p> <p>I&#39;m game for testing it. Invite away! </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/settling-into-the-palace-of-cardboard#post-236 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 18:46:10 +0000 Silverwave 236@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>Though, bad side of this idea is it makes the save file humongous if you use a lot of sound files. Also, I&#39;m sorry but it could make those files illegal since it won&#39;t be respecting copyrights (you have to own the original sound/music to be able to acquire it legally). So, for example, if you use a movie soundtrack in one of your module, if I don&#39;t own this soundtrack, it&#39;s illegal for me to get your file that contains those tracks. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/settling-into-the-palace-of-cardboard#post-235 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 14:51:59 +0000 IcarusDream 235@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>What I think should be the next step is to add the possibillity to make scenes and modules self-contained. So that if I sit on one computer and makes a module, the clicks Save module the sound files are saved into the module. Then I can mail/dropbox/USB/floppy disk it to another computer with Softrope, import the module and voila, the module and all the saved files are there and work.</p> <p>Like a button &quot;Save scene&quot; that could be used for sharing, like on this forum. If there was a thread: &quot;Shared scenes&quot; where people can upload their favorit scenes to others. And then a similar where you can save entire modules in the same way. </p> http://softrope.net/forum/topic/google-plus#post-234 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 23:49:10 +0000 Silverwave 234@http://softrope.net/forum/ <p>What is Google+ anyway? lol<br /> It&#39;s kinda like Facebook ? </p>
