FAQs
What is RPG Manager?
RPG Manager is a free Win2000/XP program developed by Flavio Roli (me!) which you can use
to create and manage fictious role-playing game worlds and campaigns. RPG
Manager is divided into two separate programs: the Campaign Editor and the Game
Manager.
What can I do with the Campaign Editor?
The Campaign Editor includes utilities to create worlds and maps, to design your
own characters, creatures, spells, equipment lists, to write your own rules and
much much more.
What can I do with the Game Manager?
The Game Manager assists you during gameplay; it includes utilities to roll
dices, mantain character sheets and create groups of adventurers. With the Game
Manager you can keep track of their movement around the world, generate random
encounters and a lot more.
Can I believe it?
It's all true and (hopefully) functioning.
Is RPG Manager an online role-playing utility?
No, RPG Manager was designed to be used as an aid when playing table
role-playing games. You cannot use the program on the Internet or to play online
role-playing games.
Is there a program documentation available?
Yes, in this site I have written two brief manuals, one for the Campaign Editor,
the other for the Game Manager.
Where can I download RPG Manager?
You can find RPG Manager in the downloads section of this site.
Is RPG Manager freely distributable?
Yes, RPG Manager is absolutely free and you can give it to your friends. You may
not however sell the program or distribute it in a commercial way without
my prior permission. Bottom line: you want to burn it on a CD to include it in a
magazine or to give it to all the people in your association? Contact me first.
Can I have the source code of the program?
At this moment I'm not planning to make the source code available to the public.
If you are interested in it you can write me an e-mail
and we can talk about it.
Can I create a web site dedicated to RPG Manager?
Of course you can, spread the word. You can make a link to the program binaries
contained in this site but you may not include them directly in yours. Try to
understand I've been working alot on this program. Also, I would be pleased if
you could inform me so I could add your site in my Links page.
Do you have in mind future versions of RPG Manager?
Yes I have some new ideas which could be included in future releases, depending
on the feedback I receive and on the time I can dedicate to the program.
I have created a new world, character, monster, spell
or other, may I send it to you?
Yes, send me your stuff, I will put it online in the downloads section and give
you full credit. Also, be sure to come back frequently to check out the latest
updates. I'm creating a new world setting and will probably be uploading it when
it's done.
I have a problem with the program, would like to make a
suggestion, or give you some feedback, can I contact you?
Yes, please. You can write me an e-mail
describing your problem, what you think of the program or any ideas you might
have to improve it. Hopefully I will try to answer to everyone.
