Was wondering this myself after you brought it up (I'm not all that familiar with the Tome of Battle or Magic), and a query over at Lone Wolf's forums (they tend to be pretty direct and thorough over there) netted this response: Hero Lab is pretty good at supporting that stuff right now, but it...

Whoa! That's quite the list! Thanks, gents! I knew I could count on the folks on this board to help me out (or at least spare me a few google minutes). I'll see how many I can hit and snobbishly critique while I'm traveling.

I've been using Hero Lab pretty extensively (it's hard to to go back to a notebook and pen once you get used to the convenience of a good chargen program) which can accommodate most house rules (I've yet to give it anything it can't handle). It lets you know when you've gone outside the rules...

I'll be hitting all of the cities in the subject line in a lengthy trip through the Pacific Northwest at the end of June, so I'm officially looking for recommendations on FLGS in those cities (or near enough) to hit. Lemme have it, ENWorlders!

Was just at the mall a couple days ago, and both Waldenbooks in the mall and the Borders in the outlot (same company, I believe) had them both. Of course, I've never seen anyone besides me actually pick them up and look at them there, which may have been part of the problem.

Yet another detailed and astute review of the issue, Alzrius. I'll miss these in three issues' time. Can we get you to do something similar with Pathfinder?

Oof! I guess I can see how these programs can be a crutch, but I'm very happy with Hero Lab myself, and I don't seem to have the... I'm gonna toss out "co-dependency" here... that some of those programs seem to inspire, especially ETools, users of which seem to be in various stages of grieving...

But surely... What Else Could Possibly Go Wrong? <waits patiently>

Once again, the wisdom of one A. Ackbar teaches us a valuable lesson.

I was just in Baltimore this last week and went to Legends in Towson with a friend, and I was really disappointed. About a third of the store's a comic shop, a third of it is games books, and the rest is tables for gaming (mostly card games, I would assume based on the layout). It was dirty...

This is like the guy at my local comic shop that swore up and down that Marvel and DC are owned by the same company.

I'll be in Baltimore for a good chunk of next week and was wondering if there's any local game stores worth checking out.

This is the first I'm hearing about it. What does "Electronic Gaming Intitiative" actually refer to?

Anything that I can apply to 3.5e (at least in concept)?

Are there any systems in place for when characters participate in games such as pool, darts, etc. (aka bar games?). In the absence of an applicable Perform skill I just used a Con check followed by a Dex check (in this case, darts) when it came up recently. Is there a better way to go about...

I've noticed that a lot of the character generator software (e.g. Hero Lab and PC Gen) have tools for use in-play. While I can see how this could be handy, it also strikes me as something maybe a bit unnecessary and possibly disruptive to other people at the table. I've been considering...

I like that the option to use it is there, but the decision to implement should really depend on the flavor of the campaign. I'm not sure how much place it would have in a high fantasy campaign, but in a campaign more--um... genre permeable?--there's no reason it can't play a prominent role...

This is actually fortuitously timed, because I'm about to embark on what I pitched as a "super-casual," when-we've-got-the-time D&D game using only pre-made adventure modules. This prompted one of my player to say, "So, a dungeon crawl, then." I bristled at that, especially since I was just...

There's a LOT of great suggestions here; in my case, if they're unimportant or unlikely to face combat, I use standard stats from the book. If they're going to stick around or be in combat or serve a plot function, I'll give them the full treatment with few shortcuts (even though I hate...

I just wanted to say this is probably the best name for a con ever. That is all.
