Any character managment or DM tool software for Pocket PC

BlackMoria · Mar 5, 2002

Greetings, all

I just got a iPaq 3850 as a birthday gift. Now I am looking to see if there is any Pocket PC software that will allow me to use my handheld at the gaming table.

Any recommendations?

There are some Pocket PC 3E character managment programs out there. However, if you have one of the new Pocket PC's you will likely have the same problem I've run into. They don't work well with the 2002 OS.

Here are the links I know of, so you can check them out for yourself.

Search for "Dungeon" on Handango

JB Game master isn't really set up for 3E, it's more of a 2E program, but here it is anyway.

If anyone knows of others to try out, I'd love to hear about them while we eagerly await the RealmsCrafters product.

There is another one on Jamis Buck's downloads page.

Scroll to the bottom to see the Pocket PC programs.

I have a character sheet which I use on PalmOS but which is excel compatible, so should run on PocketExcel - I've not tried it, but it might be worth looking at.

It summarises all the important info in the top left hand corner of the sheet, to optimise it for handheld display. When you change an attribute (magic, poison etc) the changes ripple through attacks, saves, skills etc.

You can find it on my website, near the bottom of the page
