5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Core Rules Cd-Rom 2.0 : Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (CD-ROM)

I recently purchased both Core Rules 2.0 & the expansion pack. The latter prior to the 2.0 purchase. In a phrase... the product is great!

Quick, easy character generation. (Some don't appreciate staying within "standard" limits... I find it the most enjoyable way to play)

Invaluable wealth of information.... My favorite part is that while creating a character, purchasing items, selecting spells, abilities, etc. I can simply right-click on the name... and POOF! Up comes an explanation of the item, effect, etc. No searching. No page turning. Right there at your fingertips in a split second. That alone saves me time over searching for the effects of _insert random spell_ here that a player wishes.

NPC generation... awesome. PCs and NPCs automatically have a random "fantasy" name generated (overridable of course).

Map creation. Nice. Frustrating at times... but pretty nice none-the-less.

Dice roller.

Treasure generator.

Awesome! If you don't have it.... Don't walk, RUN to your nearest seller and purchase it.... of course... you could order it here as well... if they get some in.

4.0 out of 5 stars AD&D Must Have, December 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Core Rules Cd-Rom 2.0 : Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (CD-ROM)

This product is great. The price is a good value, especially if think of all the books you get with it. The map generators allow you to post your stuff to the web if you want. The generators are excellent, and I definitely recommend getting the expansion to get more flexibility if you are a player or DM that plays beyond the Core stuff, like most of us do. If you are just starting the game, this is great too because it gives you all you need to jump right in. Don't waste your bookshelf space or money with the books to get the core stuff when it is all right here.

Minus, some, especially DMS, might find it a little to contraining, even after the expansion addition, but that is just the generator stuff. The books are still good.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great utility with only a few problems., October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Core Rules Cd-Rom 2.0 : Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (CD-ROM)

Core Rules 2.0 is a great program for a basic AD&D campaign, with a lot of the advanced features available. I created several of my own races, and they worked very well, but you are unable to create your own class. I hear that the Expansion allows you to do that, and if it does, the program will be flawless.
