[QUOTE="LegacyKing, post: 5746493, member: 30407"] The differences between the two programs - Time. With Herolab, you are paying someone to make the Books in the digital format in a timely manner. Hence, their sets are made faster since they can pay someone to focus on that - 8, 10 or 12 hours a day. With PCGen, it's the volunteer who is donating their time to make the Books in the digital format. Since volunteers normally have day jobs, the sets are a little longer to get. See, TIME. One you pay for the time to get it faster, the other the cost is waiting for someone to donate the time. ;) As far as useability, I think both do a decent job. I'm biased though as I work hard hours to make PCGen better in little ways on a daily basis. PCGen is a volunteer community who give back to the roleplaying community. The more people who join and contribute the better it becomes. I also like the fact that I can alter any aspect of the data to fully customize my experience - which supports my homebrew games much easier. I'm not sure if you can do the same with Herolabs stuff. Support - both have decent support. If you come on our Yahoo Groups, you'll either be talking to me or one of the volunteers. Our Mailing Lists & Forums are very active.
