Howdy!
Been along time since I've been a regular around these parts... I mostly stopped playing D&D around 2006, and didn't care much for what I saw of 4th edition... not that I had time, between building a career (and changing direction about three times), pursuing an advanced degree, changing continents a couple of times, getting married and having a kid. Now that I'm settled into middle-class middle-American domesticity, I've been thinking about breaking out the dice again... and man oh man does 5th Edition look great! The ease of play of 2nd edition, the elegant mechanics of 3rd edition, and probably the best written and illustrated manuals in D&D history - I'm in love.
But one thing I've been looking for... tools. I was a laptop-based DM before it was cool, and am used to using a lot of spreadsheets, dierollers and generators. Fantasy Grounds looks rather nifty and I probably need to check it out. But one of the things I really loved in 3rd - that satisfies my OCD - are customizable treasure generators. Just running some google searches, I've found a number of web-based treasure generators that generate according to the tables in the DMG. But has anyone built a Windows-based treasure generator that you can plug your own lists into? I'd like to be able to add spells, weapons, equipment and items from 3rd party sources and my own homebrews into the gen, as I could with the 3rd edition generator that I had. Does anyone know of where I can find such a beast?
