For RPM I have the following:- The ability to create and print a massive tree view of flexible campaign information, capable of rich text editing and images. The tree is to organize categories of any information required, from rules to history to geography.- The ability to extend a massive core RPG database with material specific to a particular campaign setting (such as items, magic, weapons, armor, spells, feats, skills and classes).- The ability to put game mechanics behind new stuff, so that you can generate characters, encounters and adventures that come out properly calculated for you.- The ability to easily create generator tables from your RPG database, for virtually any purpose, from NPCs to large encounters, to towns, or complete dungeon levels (maps, rooms, .features, treasure, traps and monsters).- The ability to copy and customize tables to suit different areas of your campaign world (such as magic shops, general towns and perhaps even store generated dungeons.In all honesty, I haven't yet completed the bit that allows you to store generated things in your campaign and/or adventure trees and then view or edit as required, but a massive amount of work in this area is already done.The RPM approach is to offer a large and flexible tool for doing everything from sci-fi worlds to fantasy worlds. Those comfortable with such tools can get immediate benefit.Over time, more user interfaces appear to "drill down" to nicely and easily access common specifics (such as generating the contents of a magic shop).If you have great ideas in this area, please feel free to contact me and see if it can be put into RPM, or is already there.Regards,</blockquote>
