DM Program + RttToEE or Banewarrens

Eltern

First Post
I'm starting a campaign that will be melding Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil with the Banewarrens (replacing the Crater Ridge Mines). Since I have a large group (9 players), I'd like to use some software for managing combats. When I ran RttToEE a few years ago, I used DM's Familiar. Someone had already created a campaign outline and NPCs for this program, so I all I had to do was select the room and move the characters to the combat board. It was nice. :)

The computer I used in that campaign has since died, and I'm to get the same sort of functionality again. I can't find the Yahoo group that had the DMF file for Return to the Temple, nor do I recall if it had one for the Banewarrens. Does anyone know of ANY DMing program that already has files for these adventures? I really don't care -what- the program is, I'll gladly get it if it makes combat easier and someone has already created files for these two adventures.

I'm looking around on DMF and DM Genie boards and groups, but I haven't been able to find anything thus far. Here's hoping that someone here knows of something. ;)

Well, to my knowledge, CMP is the only company that has a license from WotC to produce datasets of their closed source products; of which RttToEE is one. Assuming I'm correct, that narrows your choices down to PCGen or eTools. I'm pretty sure that Banewarrens is not in PCGen or eTools though.
 


I also recommend DM Genie. Even if you have to input most or all of RttToEE yourself, it would be worth doing. Although I seem to recall seeing it somewhere, but I couldn't find it again. If I do, I'll send you an e-mail.

DM Genie releases regular updates, isn't a system resource hog, and has a well-mannered developer.
