[QUOTE="Femerus the Gnecro, post: 328396, member: 2381"] When I first tried PCgen, I was really excited. "Look! This'll let me use supplements I don't even own and give me options that the CG demo doesn't support!" I was pumped. Five minutes after starting to use it, I gave up and deleted it. Several times after that I tried to get into it again, and never succeeded. Until recently. Ya see, I use Openrpg. Someone on these boards mentioned that PCgen had an openrpg sheet export function, and I thought I might try it out. I discovered 2 things. 1. PCgen, while still being horribly difficult to learn, is really quite a nice piece of software. *Especially* in comparison with Etools (IMO of course). 2. The Openrpg sheet template kinda bit. Ironically, I'd already gotten so enmeshed into PCgen (finally learned how to use it, thanks to ppl on these boards) that I decided to do something about #2 rather than just complain about it. I wrote another template. NOW PCgen officially rocks. Not only can I enter more or less any character I want, I can export it to OpenRPG with fully dynamic button functionality, etc. It's lovely. So that's my opinion. PCgen rocks. It just takes some getting used to. -F [/QUOTE]
