Any response from the DMGenie folks on how to do a Gnome (or any other race) lycanthrope? One way I tried gave me 4 animal levels---and I can't select more than one race on the first PC creation page.

Hey Kingpaul---awhile ago I heard that the "Secrets of Theurgy" .pdf was going to be incorporated in the included source material with PCGen---but 5.10.1 doesn't have it (I think)---did I miss something or has it not come out in a production version of PCGen>

I use CMP data---which has it as a template (I believe). Either way I think the default should have a PC using/equiped for a saddle for a particular mount. I know WoTC might get persnickety about the skill modifier---but c'mon now, when was the last time you rode a horse bareback?!?

Problem with that method is that DM Genie won't let me be two races at once---so I can't be a Gnome wererat. Also---zipping through the non-PC races revealed some odd results---there are traps as races! I am an imaginative guy---but I don't buy a pit trap as a race. I tend to think that PCGen's...

Okay... it took me about 15 minutes to create, level up and equip my first NPC---a Gnome Wizard 6/ Rogue 6 afflicted Wererat. Given that this was my first time through---that is a pretty darn good time. I am not sure the Wererat part went through well though---I picked up 4 hd of...

Fumbling through item creation/equipping too (creating and equipping a magical weapon is a bit clunky at first---though again this will likely be overcome with experience), PCGen appears to allow for a higher degree of customization with weapons (I don't see the area where I could add various...

I've started to play with DMgenie (though I am just using the demo version of player genie). Not too psyched about the interface---I think creating new PCs and adding levels should be on the front page, not buried in sub menus. The leveling wizard seems a bit odd---though that may change with...

Unfortunately this thread seems to have devolved into a discussion about the pros/cons/development of PCgen. Not what I really intended, but oh well... What I had hoped was to generate some new ideas, furor over the status quo, and consumer demand---hopefully it rang some bells with folks.

Last week. I am using 5.10.1 with plenty of Ram and a 2.8 Ghz Intel chip. I have also done the "add extra ram" thingy. I am loading 8-10 CMP 5.10.1 datasets---mixture of Complete Series, FR Campaign stuff and a few others.

That right there could take upwards of a half-hour on PCGen (especially if you have more than the CORE datasets loaded), and that is about 29 minutes longer than I want to spend on most NPC stats.

Dr. Awkward----I agree with a lot of your points---but I actually don't like the idea of everyone having PC's in a gaming session. I know it would make things a LOT easier (if we had the digital aide we all dream of), but I think it would cut down on the camraderie and espirit de corps if...

Go no further... you are already speaking Greek to me...

:\ You say potato, I say pohtahto. I've peeked inside .lst files, even edited a few so that I could use my Forgotten Realms datasets along with my others... But create an .lst file from scratch? No thanks. It might just as well be java to me---it is all confusing/terrifying stuff that brings...

Not a very good one for those of us who don't code, and have no interest in coding.

Based on the WoTC/Fluid Mastertools/E-Tools fiasco---I am mighty skeptical of anything WoTC might produce by itself (or with a directly contracted company). I really feel the best way is set a reasonably high license price (to encourage serious inquiries only), produce a fairly...

Gotta wonder if that isn't what CMP tried to do---and that didn't work out too well...

I am not familiar with RPGX---but the only time I see a large Icon being used would be for equipping the PC (GOD I wish there was a Baldur's Gate III in the works---but I digress...) In other parts of the application I see a small icon being used (from a stock set of images, or user importable).

All I am looking for in mapping is barebones graphics, outlines of rooms, corridors, maybe some generic tables, chairs. I (for one) am not interested in creating maps, printing them out (especially in expensive/runny color ink) and using them for minis. That being said---I know some folks really...

Again---thanks for the response. Are you working with a program that is already up and running?

A very thorough response---thank you. Just want to point out that my comments are towards the whole market, not just PCGen. I liked PCGen's implementation of tabs---except I have found it can take a long, long time to switch between them.I think an Iconic UI for equipping would simply make...
