Hi,

I’m creating my own Dungeon Master Engine (DM Engine) using Dungeons and Dragons’ (DnD’s) data. It’s going to hold Player Characters (PCs), Campaigns, and everything the campaigns will need (Monsters, Non-Player Characters (NPCs), and much more). I asked my friend what would be the best way to hold all of the data. He said to put it in test files, but I figure it would be better to put it in a SQLite database. Either way I’m going to use VB Express, but then choose between SQLite and Text FIles.

The resoan I want to use SQLite is because I want to see how it is. I’ve never used it.

Well, any help will be greaty appreciated.

Thanks,
