[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 2238583, member: 12966"] (Luke, I had some fun finding RPM; perhaps a link should be in your .sig?) Have you seen/tried [url=http://www.dmgenie.com/]DMGenie[/url]? It seems to compare very favorably to RPM, although I will admit that the author of DMGenie is so far reluctant to address the networking aspect. :( Things that I like about it: customizable using VBscript, programmable user interface (buttons execute user-defined VBscript code), condition tracking, mapping with "hotspots" (links to other areas of an adventure), creatures/items movable on the map, random encounter generation via statblocks, item tracking (magical weapons/armor, wand charges, etc), inventory items as containers, support for familiars/animal companions/special mounts via scriptable feats (very flexible and easy for the user to further customize), combat tracker (rounds and initiative), and combat log (RTF control). Things I don't like: written in VB (no speed demon), not open source (I've considered writing my own in Java or C++ and open sourcing it), scripting support for spells/psionics and magic items is underway but not complete, needs some kind of "equipment set" so that creatures can easily switch from "melee" to "ranged" mode without having to manually wield weapons and such (only a few clicks, but still...), and lack of networking. I've just downloaded RPM so I'll try it out in the next few days. I remember trying it a long time ago, but it has been quite awhile. Who knows? With fog-of-war support, I might even switch to RPM!
