We found that in our gaming group, none of the players wanted to abandonrolling for most things (attacks, damage, etc), but we did all noticethat initiative was particularly annoying to track.  People would getmissed, combat was harder to keep track of, and rolling it didn't reallyadd to anyone's enjoyment of the game.  So, the program was born - alongwith the most important goal - only do as much as the user wants, and nomore.The program tracks initiative, allows refocusing, rerolling, or forthe user to just type in a new initiative.  at any time, you can justtap the space bar, and it will take you to the next initiative.  It willalso allow you to 'kill' combatants (and it will keep them, but skiptheir initiative), and track spells, as well as their durations.  Itkeeps a log of the combats that happened in a session, to make it easyfor the GM to determining XP.  Finally, as mentioned before, it canimport characters/parties from PCGen using templates.CHANGES:fixed pcgen import, OGL compliantRPGeneration 0.9.2 (GPL, some OGL data files)RPGeneration is the second in this series of apps (though I have notimplemented communication between apps).RPGeneration is a tool for randomly generating basically anything. Currently, it can do NPC Personalities/Attitudes (The original impetusfor the program), SRD Treasure Generation, Name generation (using PCGencode, thanks Bryan) and allows for the separate usage of any table bythe user directly.RPGeneration is built on a simple but powerful XML command and controlfile format that allows a person to make a new generator without anyprograming (much like the lst files).  RPGeneration I will eventuallylikely have all the major tables from the SRD, weather generation,terrain generation, NPC Generation (that I plan on being able to save as.pcg files), random equipment generation, encounter generation, andanything else we can come up with.CHANGES:Save worksallows cut and paste to most word processors, with formattingadded bold/italic/underline/font sizingFinally,please - if you have a chance, take a look at these tools, and let meknow what you think - I really would like to incorporate any ideas youall have, and to do my best to make these tools dead simple for workingwith PCGen, and for GM usage.Enjoy,Devon JonesP.S.  I have started a mailing list for this at<a href="mailto:rpg-tools-subscribe@legolas.org">rpg-tools-subscribe@legolas.org</a></blockquote>
