It would definately be worth the cash to pick it up. I've been thinking about doing so myself. (I've used the evaluation copy to get a feel for it.) The only other program that, in my opinion, compares to DM's Familiar is DM Genie. (I've played with the evaluation copy of it too.) Some would put PCGen up there too, but for some reason I couldn't find my rythm with that software. DM Genie does a lot of what DM's Familiar does. It has (if memory serves) added functionality for the generation of characters and advancing them in level. That, in a nutshell, is what sold me on DM Genie. It feels a little more cluttered than DM's Familiar, but it offers an 'all-inclusive' game package. I have plans to pick DM Genie up just as soon as I find an affordable laptop with decent specs. I'll also keep a (heavily bookmarked) PDF of the SRD on hand... and anything else I might think of that DM Genie doesn't cover as it comes up.</blockquote>
