Had you not created this amazing toolkit, many of us would still be sitting in front of an old console saying, "I wish I could make my own RPG." You made this a possibility, you and only you! Although I've only been here a few weeks, I must say...it's cool. My internet alter-ego has like, found a family finally...someplace where he's accepted and has people who think like him. And it's all thanks to you!....
sorry, just rambling on again.
Anyways...
Back to Programming!

: Chris, I never would have imagined a year ago that I would be making a REAL RPG.
: Until I discovered the RPG Toolkit I played RPGs and dabbled here and there trying ...futilly...to make something similar.
: Sure, I had ideas...
: Ideas are a dime a dozen though...
: ...but when I was finally given the tools to allow my mind to create openly...the results...well are quite obvious.
: I've said this before.
: You are perhaps the most significant person I have ever met.
: ...not just to me...
: I am only 1 person.
: You have given EVERYONE the ability to create that which we have all dreamed of.
: ...to name the characters...the cities...the forests...
: ...to design landscapes...houses...and even styles of clothing.
: ...but you have also allowed us to do this in a way we never could before.
: There are other RPG making programs.
: VERGE springs to mind...
: Most of these have advantages over the Toolkit in some fashion.
: ...and yet I have stayed with this one.
: Why?
: The answer is simple.
: You.
: What good is a toolkit with noone updating it?
: How does an advantage here or there compare to the possibility that an active programmer and devoted author might make those advantages obsolete?
: ...but is this really why I have not left the Toolkit?
: Chris.
: I see a limitless horizon for you and this program.
: There is little if anything that I think it can not do in the realm of RPG creation.
: ...but your presence here has always comforted me...not just because you were fast to fix bugs or helpful in bad times...
: ...but because I trust you.
: I know you like I know any of my friends.
: At least I feel that way.
: I cant tell you how inspiring your opions and posts have been to me.
: I really cant even begin to...
: Deceit and Conquest and myself for that matter owe so much to you.
: You have made this possible.
: You...

: -Your friend
