PCGen is a volunteer community who give back to the roleplaying community.
I'm biased though as I work hard hours to make PCGen better in little ways on a daily basis. One you pay for the time to get it faster, the other the cost is waiting for someone to donate the time.Īs far as useability, I think both do a decent job. Since volunteers normally have day jobs, the sets are a little longer to get. With PCGen, it's the volunteer who is donating their time to make the Books in the digital format. Hence, their sets are made faster since they can pay someone to focus on that - 8, 10 or 12 hours a day. With Herolab, you are paying someone to make the Books in the digital format in a timely manner. The differences between the two programs - Time. It was well worth the money I have out into it so far.
PCGEN ULTIMATE COMBAT SOFTWARE
I haven't had any real trouble with it, but it is a factor for some people.Įven with those often mentions cons, I really like the software and find it makes my work easier as a player or as a GM. You can only have it installed on two computers and there are some small hoops to jump through to transfer the license to another computer in the event of a system crash or something like that. I tend to only buy them when needed.Īnother thing that sours people to Hero Lab is their licensing scheme. I find it worth it - though I don't buy every data pack.
The price can get a bit high for Hero Lab as you start working your way up the additional data packs. Keep in mind one of the reasons they can get the data set out is because people have to pay for the additional data sets. They are generally pretty responsive to bugs on their forums and their forums are relatively active. The tool is pretty easy to use and makes generating characters, NPCs and leveling them up a breeze.
