Message: <blockquote data-quote="MoonSpider" data-source="post: 634151" data-attributes="member: 9994">I really wanted to like this program, I got it as a birthday present from my parents, who knew I gamed, and knew I used my computer to write adventures .  (They don't understand DnD, but they try.)You just can't customize it. You can't add feats, of which I have a few hundred from various sources. You can't add prestige classes, again I have a few hundred. There are no templates, and no way to add them. You can't add equipment, or at least I couldn't figure out how. You can't add races.There is no useful manual.There are no roll over "what is this" indicators, just obscure symbols.It doesn't make a good statblock.It was a year late, and still didn't do what it was originally planned to do!What it does do it does badly.It is going to be more than six months since the program came out before they have a gold patch. And the first patch didn't even fix the errors, just added new functions!Some of these things have been fixed with E-Tools helper, but they shouldn't have needed fixing.I want Master Tools! I want something that I can write an adventure with! I want a mapper and all the things Master Tools was supposed to have.Yes, I know I'm whining, but I had such high hopes, and it didn't meet any of them.I really hope that they come out with a new version after DnD 3.5 comes out, or they iron out any problems with PCGen and all the other programs out there, it really bothers me that they won't allow PCGen to roll the dice when creating characters, and I can't get the point buy system to work right.I'm probably going to download and try Roleplaying Master, but frankly, it does more than I need it to, I don't want a computer at the table. (I know it doesn't make sense, I would be willing to pay the money just for the adventure writing and character generation functions, but I keep thinking that I'm paying for in game funtions that I won't use.) I'll get over that, if I can just get myself past that mental block. That and remember to set aside the money.MoonSpider (Sorry that my first post was a whine, but I've been sitting on it for a while)<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
