GMGen 3.3pre2 Released

GMGen 3.3Pre2 has been released.

Project home: http://gmgen.sourceforge.net/
Download: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gmgen
Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen-gmgen/

GMGen is a Java-based GM's tool that works on multiple platforms
(Windows, Linux, etc). GMGen is a tool for GMs designed to ease
the running of D20 games. Intended for use with PCGen, it allows
GMs work with PCGen sources and characters to do a variety of tasks.

To install GMGen, unzip gmgen-3.3pre2.zip into it's own directory.
You can run GMGen by executing the gmgen.bat, gmgen.sh, or
gmgen.jar files (for systems that support jar execution). On
launch GMGen will ack you for the location of your PCGen
installation. GMGen 3.3pre2 requires PCGen 5.1.6 or later to work.

If you wish to try any of the plugins that are not included
with the primary 3.3pre1 release (prerelease_plugins-3.3pre2.zip),
simply unzip the file into the gmgen directory, and restart GMGen.

This release has seen fewer large changes, and has focused
primarily on getting gmgen to function in it's own directory, and
polish of the Encounter and Initiative plugins.

Mac OS X users - GMGen has not been tested on Mac OS X, but it
should function. We are looking for people willing to test for
us on Mac OS X (unfortunatly, none of our core team have OS X boxen).

GMGen 3.3pre3 will be focusing on the addition of a preferences
panel that will be usable by the plugins, as well as attempting to
get the Experience plugin up to beta quality.
