RPG Xplorer - I got a sneak preview

Namfoddle

First Post
Folks, I had the rare opportunity to meet with the guy called "Anurien" and get some first-hand sneak-preview of the RPG Xplorer.

I must really say, that I'm impressed with it. I never saw a programme as powerful and easy to use. Even though the final release won't come out before the end of the month, the programme was nearly finished and I liked what I saw.

If you never heard of it before - check out RPG Xplorer Homepage. You'll also find a beta-version for download there that gives you a feeling about the programme.

I could see even more than this. Anurien presented the software to me and a friend of mine while on a trip to Germany. He spent over an hour to show the current version of the programme and answer our questions - that's what I call customer service! I never had the chance to meet a developer of a product in person, and I was impressed that this guy really took the time to answer all the questions and he also listened to our input and suggestions for improvement (the company also does that in their forum, BTW).

Anurien showed us, how easy it is to enter your own data, how to create a character and level him up in only a couple of seconds. We saw the current version of the character sheet (still subject to change), got some impressions about equipping the characters with a "market place feature" and more.

I can only encourage you guys to take a look at it. The beta is free and they offer some discout if your pre-order the software. I really think, the most powerful and easy to use programme is about to be released and I can't wait to get my hands on the final version!

Wish I could. Its PC only...

If I'm not mistaken, they have plans for a Mac version as well. Maybe you should just contact them and tell them, that you like their idea, but don't have a PC. As I said - they really listen to their customers needs and ideas.

It's written for the .NET platform, which means that Mac implementation is dependant upon having a run-time engine for the Mac. IIRC, there is something along those lines, but I don't recall the name -- and it may not be complete/fully functional.
 

Mac and Linux versions were part of the original release plan for RPGXplorer however, as Mercule correctly points out these are (or were) dependent on .Net being available for these platforms.

The MONO project (sponsored by Novell) is a version of .Net for Linux and appears to have moved on a lot since we last checked some months ago.

Their site is a little vague on whether they fully support v1.1 of the .Net Framework but I think we'll be looking into this sooner rather than later.

p.s. nice to meet you and your friend Namfoddle!
