I tinkered around with it and I admit it has some pretty cool features, but I would much rather spend my precious time writing adventures than screwing around with the software. Yes, it might save game time. But it takes a lot of time to get everything set up to the way you want it. And if you want it to do something it wasn't programmed to do, you're either tough out of luck or must spend hours reconfiguring it.I find using Excel's random number generation to be much more useful as I can tailor it to however I want it. That's where a lot of the DM software falls flat - it's tailored to how the programmer wants it. The utility of the software would be much greater if it consisted of a variety of databases that the user could draw upon however they see fit (i.e. make up your own tables, with your own modifiers, and your own house rules).I'd pass on DM Genie if I were you.</blockquote>
