What's your definition of power-user? I don't believe PCGen has ever tried to limit the scope of who the target audience is. If you only want the SRD, great, its there for use. If you want to use more datasets, they're there as well. If you want one that's not there...well, you either get to...

Would you then like to volunteer to help make PCGen less complex?

Have you read the documentation that comes with the program? The first 2 sub-trees in the docs are "Installation" and "Character Creation Walkthrough".

What did you find complex about it?

I liked the 1st one as well. Does anyone know why they're ignoring Ang Lee's version?

PCGen and its sponsor Silven Publishing are pleased to announce the release of PCGen 5.11.5 (release notes).

You might have better luck asking this on CMP's boards instead. They are still supporting the eTools datasets for 2 years even though their license to sell eTools and datasets wasn't renewed.

Like Kar, I only got really involved with PCGen right after GenCon '02. I had dome some dataset work before that, but wasn't involved with the day-to-day. However, PCGen had been trying to talk with WotC about WotC's opinion on PCGen's opinion that what we were doing fell under fair use. Anthony...

(received as a review copy) This is a 437 page hardcover book. The MSRP is $34.95 US. The mechanics in this book, at least to this reviewer, are new, and may take some time getting used to the setup. Fantasy Imperium is listed as an “Interactive Storytelling Game,” where the emphasis is on...

I'll also chime in with writing a response. That at least tells the submitter that the material has been looked at.

I'm guessing, but I think its because WotC wanted folks to point back to their books for this info instead of having it available in someone else's sourcebook.

What kind of screen shots are you looking for? I honestly can't recall users wanting screen shots for PCGen before. There are screen shots in the online documentation, particularly under the "Character Creation Walkthrough".

From what I'm gathering from the code monkeys (not the company), the next stable will be 5.12, not 6.0. Ability should be in the 5.12 release, and they're hoping to have it in 5.11.6.

Official datasets for WotC products is no longer available. CMP and PCGen both have relations with other publishers to create/distribute datasets based upon their products.

I'll need to check with the code team. I don't think so though. I think the ability object work needed to be finished for that to work. The code team hopes to have that wrapped up by 5.11.6 (or in about a month).

PCGen and its sponsor Silven Publishing are pleased to announce the release of PCGen 5.11.4 (release notes).

Yes, still java-based. I don't foresee this changing anytime soon either.

Just to clarify, PCGen didn't have a license, CMP did.

I have, but it has been years since I last saw it.
