Hi All,
As some of you may know, F l a t l a n d e r has handed over support of RPGmod to me.
So this thread will be the location of all future updates of the free version of RPGmod.
As a polite request please don't start additional RPGmod threads on the forum as they are likely to be locked, similar to all other non-official mod related threads.
