Hellooooo everyone.
I just found the RPTools site, amazing stuff you guys have been doing. I have been searching for similar programs for years (literally).
My only concern is this:
From what I gleamed of the programs, if I want to use a different system than the ones implented, I must create RUlesets for each program (MT, IT, probably TT, CT). This is a lot of work.
Is it possible to create a Global RUleset File type, that can be used by every RPTool. Probably have to create a special RuleTool to edit that file, but it would really make it easier.
ANother question: Character Tool is not really functional yet, right? Apparently it's just a GUI-draft, since none of the menu options do anything and it crashes often.
Or did I miss the Download for an actual working version?
Anyway, thanks again and keep up the good work.
PS: Making sub-forums dedicated to specific gaming systems would be nice.

Keep 'em separated
While I agree that a common filetype / format is a great boon for custom rulesets, I support keeping the tools as separate programs that communicate to each other. The integration is great, but programs that are *too* integrated suffer from ease of use in the individual functions, from my experience. I love MapTool for mapping and tracking movement, etc. I love my CrystalBall for Character management (unless CharTool ends up being better, but I'm looking forward to comparing). I like keeping combat management separate from the mapping, and even character management: but it's so sweet when they can all share relevant data like character stats.
