[QUOTE="The Levitator, post: 3378035, member: 40099"] We've been using DM Genie for the past 3 years and we have a great time playing, even into decent levels (last campaign ended at 10-12). The group has said they wouldn't play without it. I know it's not perfect, but it REALLY speeds up our game, doing all of the calculations for us so that we can concentrate on description and decision making. The other thing that is really nice about DM Genie is that it is completely customizable. When new books come out, you can add the feats, skills, prestige classes, etc., right into your campaign. The biggest advantage for me is its ability to add variants and houserules. Here's a shortlist of some of the houserules we are able to use and still have an action calculated with a single click: Opposed Defense Roll Armor As DR (DM Genie also automatically tracks physical damage to armor and shields) Class Defense Bonus Flanking Bonuses (per the UA variant) Clobbered Variant Death at -CON FORT roll for unconscious at -1 or lower Battle Fatigue ( a houserule I created, and it's automatically scripted) Playing Core with DM Genie is even easier. I'm not a paid spokesperson for DM Genie, just a VERY satisfied customer. if you want a game management program, I haven't been able to find anything that even comes close. It has a bit of a learning curve at first, but becomes second nature pretty quickly. Aside from the rules and combat, it also has a Campaign Manager saves me hours of time in campaign planning, and even has a time/weather tracker with built-in conditions that you can apply to encounters. I know it comes with a free trial at [URL=http://www.dmgenie.com/]DM Genie[/URL] . For anyone who is interested in taking a look at this program, feel free to IM me with any questions about it, and I'll be happy to help in any way I can. Or you can join the boards over at DM Genie and look for me there. My handle there is: thelevitator Good gaming everyone! james [/QUOTE]
