Keep in mind this is only from using the DEMO version of Campaign SuitePrice : I don't think anyone would argue, PC Gen wins hads down here, for someone that spends all his money on d20 books this can be a very big factor.... that $30 for Campaign Suite can buy me another 3 Encyclopedia ArcanesEase of 'extensibility' : I will give Campaign Suite the nod here, I find it pretty darn easy to add a race, language, weapon, etc.Community : I give the nod to PC Gen, this may be due to being somewhat of a programmer myself and I feel real enthusiasm behind the tool and support from the user communityNow as far as actually generating the Characters, I find that PC Gen is more accurate, and has more information (like where I can look up the detail of a certain feat or spell, support for psionics, and limits feats based on class as examples)... altho Campaign suite does have that nifty Character wizard, nce way to whip up random type NPCsI guess the two biggest things that I liked about PC Gen over Campaign Suite was 1)The price... Im a cheapskate2)The shear amount of pre-entered/ community entered data.... ehhh Im lazyFor campaign suite you either have to enter it yourself your purchase add-ons.....I find that just like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnipNow I totally understand that this could change, especially with PC Gen trying to become d20 or OGL or whateva it is compliantLooking back over this I imagine you will find this totally uselessI find it exceedingly difficult to put my thoughts down in writing... its one of my many flaws</blockquote>
