Do you want to be a better Game Master?

Do you want to run a game your players call exciting, well organized and fast-paced?

Face it. Being the DM is hard work. It's up to YOU to keep combat fast and exciting. It's up to YOU to have instant, encyclopedic knowledge of the rules. It's up to YOU to be prepared each and every game session.

How would you like an assistant at your side each game session to keep you organized, help run the game smoothly and make your combats fast and exciting?

DM's Familiar is the Answer!

DM's Familiar focuses on 3 important areas: Combat Management, Reference Library, and Codex Tree.

Combat Management
The Combat Manager in DM's Familiar handles all of the nitty-gritty details of 3E combat and will give you much faster and more exciting combat. The Combat Manager rolls initiatives, keeps track of who's turn it is, makes attack and damage rolls for the monsters, and much more.
Reference Library
The Reference Library of DM's Familiar puts all of the rules of the game at your fingertips. No more lugging all of those books to each game session. No more wondering what book a particular feat is in. Your game will run smooth and fast with DM's Familiar Reference Library.
Codex Tree
The Codex Tree of DM's Familiar is a word-processing and outline tool that will keep your game incredibly organized. Campaign notes, adventure outlines, world histories; you'll have them all at your fingertips, easily and quickly.

Easy to Use: DM's Familiar was designed from the start to be as easy as possible to use. Entering data in DM's Familiar is done on standard, simple data entry screens. You just type in what you want. There's no complicated scripting tool or programming language that you'll have to learn.
Fast to Use: DM's Familiar will help you run the game faster. Everything is designed to be done with 1 or 2 mouse clicks. To make an attack, you click one button. You don't have to open multiple screens and click multiple options to get things done.
Flexible: DM's Familiar will help you run the game the way you want to run it. Features you don't want to use will not be in your way. DM's Familiar will never force you to roll dice on the computer if you don't want to.

DM's Familiar is the Answer!

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.

And...he's a pretty darn good DM, too.

Wohoo!!! I am #1. Truthfully I have watched the preview's for this product and am impressed enough to consider buying it. I would appreciate any input on how it works with the Pathfinder rules. Anybody using it during Beta testing?

Datasets for use with DM's Familiar are available on the DMF downloads page. Currently it is Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne.

Silverhair: Since DMF doesn't enforce any rules - you just enter the data your want - it should have no trouble with Pathfinder.

I have been using DMF for a couple of months and I find it is very useful. The layout is pretty easy to navigate. My only problem using it is from my end not with the program. I cannot grasp the concept of how to upload anything I add into my databank. As I said it is not a problem with the program it is entirely with me being a computer illiterate.

Just my 2 cp.

Glad you're liking it. There's a yahoo group if you've got questions or are looking for advice.
