Rob,
I'd like to be a part of what ever members do volunteer for this
task. There really should be at least three people that the files go
through for proofreading before release to minimize errors and
oversights.
I have reverted to using l5r-the-game for my deck building and
spreadsheets for my inventory as the lack of updates has made
cardvault useless for me. (I only play l5r)
I might add that if the CV editor posessed the ability to import
from spreadsheet type applications we wouldn't even be having this
thread. Those are readily available on the web for most games. At
present the program makes entry tedious for a new set.
