PCGen is an open source character generator for role-playing games. It currently is aimed at supporting as many RPGs as is humanly possible. The project’s current focus is on OGL games (OGL is Wizards of the Coast’s Open Gaming License). PCGen runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Unix/Linux using Java 1.4/1.5.
PCGen has released its first Beta (5.13.11) for the upcoming 5.14 production release. Since the 5.10.x series began, the PCGen developers have managed to put out increasingly polished production releases. An important aspect in getting that polished release was the enthusiasm and support the PCGen community gave in testing release. If you are interested testing the beta sign up for the Yahoo! group at PCGen News and Notes.
