Lone Wolf doesn't provide the data because they do not have an official license from Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast to do it. Creating the data and selling it without a license would land them in legal hot waters. Pathfinder is officially licensed, which is why you get the books done by lone wolf with each new release.

I provide the data for many settings free of charge because I run the different settings using Pathfinders rules in place of 3.5, my players don't want me to run 3.5 anymore, they feel pathfinder fixed a lot of the problems in the game. The forgotten Realms project was a data conversion I started many years ago and has grown into what it is.

Please do not PM me to inquire about datafiles I coded "for personal use" such as Exalted, World of Darkness, AD&D, or Warhammer 40K Roleplaying. I appreciate your interest, but I do not own the Intellectual Property rights to these game systems. Nor do I have permission from any of the Publishers to distribute the data files. As such, I cannot distribute the work I have done with community on these files. They are "for personal use" only. Thank you.

I am far too busy these days to answer emails. If you message me here there is no guarantee I will get back to you at all.
