[QUOTE="Mynex, post: 45095, member: 2136"] [b]PCGen[/b] --snip-- I'm aware of PCGen and it's capabilities for character generation, but it has this huge download requirement which would take years on my dialup connection. Is there something out there for either purchase or free that is comparable that has a decent GUI interface and ability to create PC's and PrC's? --snip-- uhrm.. huge download requirements? there are 2 files that are required to run PCGen... and together they are less than 2 megs in size. 1 meg is the data list files and the other meg are all of the system files, character/party sheets and the cor program. Yes, there are optional files if you want to print pdf character sheets, and another if you want 'skins' ability, but they are not required. The GUI is ugly at parts, but it is in the middle of being overhauled, and the 1st run through should be done in the next month... then the code monkeys plan to go back through and add all the little bells and whistles. For a free program, that handles what PCGen can handle for character management, there is no compare. If you're looking for campaign tracking info, then no, PCGen is not at that point yet, and probably won't be for at least 6mos or so while many features are taken care of... Just some info. :) [/QUOTE]
