Message: <blockquote data-quote="DMFTodd" data-source="post: 2999525" data-attributes="member: 1202">I tend to run mostly Dungeon magazine stuff so I don't have much need for character generators. What I do use:For face to face gaming:<a href="http://www.paladinpgm.com/dmf" target="_blank">DM's Familiar </a> (my program): Combat management to track initiative, spell durations, roll hit points, and rolling all the attack/damage. Instant rules lookup. Has all of the world/campaign/adventure notes in it. Tablesmith: For rolling up random stuff, mostly flavor text - what's the bartender's name and a description, what's the inn serving for lunch today, description for the magic wand the party just found. Schtuff Wiki: I maintain a wiki on schtuff for the campaign. I frequently update that during the game to record major happenings. <a href="http://nehwon.schtuff.com/welcome" target="_blank">My Campaign Wiki</a> For online gaming:<a href="http://www.kloogeinc.com/" target="_blank">Klooge.werks</a> : Allows all the players to connect up, displays the map and tokens, plays sounds, manages combat, does the dice rolling for all the players and the DM's, stores character sheets. A very powerful program that is great for online play and really removes the drugery from the game. I find playing online with klooge to be better than face to face games. <a href="http://www.paladinpgm.com/dmf" target="_blank">DM's Familiar</a> : Don't need the combat management with klooge, but I still use it to lookup rules and to keep my notes. Tablesmith: Same as above Ventrilo: For voice chatDunjinni: If I need to make a map myself. Gimp: To edit maps I scan inSnagIt: For screen captures. For example, I scan a lot of Dragon/Dungeon magazine and use SnagIt to grab a face in a picture to use for an NPC.</blockquote>
