Title: Ch-Generator for Mac
Post by: cryptoron on June 20, 2010, 11:36:58 PM

I've officially become fed up with my PC and am switching to Mac.  Will the D&D Charicter Generator work on the Mac?  How about the rest of the D&D insider stuff?

The Character Builder does not work on a Mac.

Yeah Ron this is why Drew updates my character for me.  Wizards hates Mac.  :(

You could use Parallels to run XP virtually or use Bootcamp to boot into a Windows installation and use the generator that way.

I do that when I have to, but I'd prefer a native OS X application.

Whew...
I didn't realize you could get a windows instilation onthe Mac.  I'll have to look into that.

Any luck with the Boot Camp or Parallels?  I think a new version of Parallels was released not too long ago.  I don't use it so I'm not familiar but running XP virtually has to be better than booting into it to use the Character Creator each time.  If only WoTC would release a Mac compatible version.
