First off from all the reviews I read the program would add so much to my game. So like a idiot I purchased it rather than try the free program. From the moment I installed it was going to give me problems having little to no help I muddled through with it learning how the program worked. After three hours I learned the game was a little more than a glorified book holder. If anything it made my dming in my game harder and provided nothing to the experience.
After speaking to the owner of the program who basically shrugged when I explained my reasons I gave up. So in closing if you're ever considering purchasing a game program to help you out take it from me THIS isn't it. You can find at least two on google for free that do twice the job and did I mention free?
I have used DM's Familiar for years now and found it to be one of the best out there. It’s highly adaptable to any D20 system on the market.
As a DM it makes it much easier to manage the number crunching and data tracking required in the D20 system. Because of that I can focus on story telling and "role" playing.
Todd does a great job of getting back to you with technical issues and has helped me re-up my license numerous times due to multiple new computers.
DM's Familiar has become an integral part of my RPG life.
I bought DMF about 5 years ago! I use it every game. I love it. It has made my DMing job so much easier. It does as much or as little as a DM wants it to.
I use mine to roll initiative for everyone, places everyone in order, and I roll all attacks, saves, skills, and damage for all NPCs and critters at a click.
Not to mention it has all the core rules avaialbe via a search function.
Easy to use, great support with their yahoo messagegroups, and Todd really cares about fixing problems.
