[QUOTE="Master of the Game, post: 2276031, member: 9220"] I just picked up DMGenie and added it to my "List o' Programs to try Tonight". I like the idea of combat tracking, and would gladly use a tool that would help me with it, but the only one I've had a chance to try it PCGen/GMGen, and it seems a bit complicated. I found no easy way to just load stuff on the fly, which is important to me because not all of my encounters are preplanned. Like I said, I only played with it a bit, so I may not have noticed it, but I'll try it again before I give up. Also, it seemed that I had to use PCGen to stat up each of my players, which was kind of a pain, and when I tried to use it, it actually made a mistake, only giving the fighter character I made 1 feat. Anyways, I'm still trying them out, and I'm sure I'll find one I like for use at the table, but that wikipad is hella cool for long-term note taking. It looks like creating links is as easy as a couple of key strokes. If that's the case, I may have pages for every bartender, flop house, and side quest in my campaign world :) I'll give Genie a thorough look though, it seems to get high marks with everyone. [/QUOTE]
