Hi, all.
I've been DMing a D&D game for over a year now and, as a result, have come up with a 4e combat tracking software package for DMs. It's called Familiar and is available at www.familiarrpg.com (http://www.familiarrpg.com). Sorry to add to the glut of programs already out there, but I figured some of you may be interested in what I've been developing in my spare time.
One of the key features I really wanted in a combat management program was the ability to see both the attacker and defender's stats at the same time, in addition to automated condition notifications (e.g. "Orc is no longer Slowed"), and selection of multiple enemies for burst and blast effects. Familiar has these things and more.
That being said, it's still a little rough around the edges, but it gets the job done. Familiar is in development right now and I could certainly use some feedback on things like the interface and feature suggestions. Any information provided will be most helpful.
Anyway, if you have any questions or feedback, you can respond to this thread or write me at [email protected]. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
