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-3.3pre4.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 ask you for the location of your PCGen
installation. GMGen 3.3pre4 requires PCGen 5.2 or later to work.
(The pcgen.jar in gmgen/lib MUST be of version 5.3.4)

3.3pre4 took a long time, and we made a TON of changes. This release
focused on getting two new plugins: Notes and Overland Travel up
and running, Preferences dialogs working, and many many fixes and features
being added to Initiative. (Subdual Damage, Massive Damage, Saves, saving
of a combat, etc)

The Notes system allows people to import and export Noted files (*.gmn).
GMGen will support and distribute certain notes trees, starting with this
release. Our first one is the 3.5 SRD. Look for the 3.0 SRD and the MSRD
in the near future.

Mac OS X has stabilized alot for GMGen. Keep submitting bugs for stuff
you find.

GMGen 3.3pre5 will be focused purely on bug fixes so we can get to 3.3rc1.
3.3pre5 will be the last release before 3.3 release candidates.
Then we start on 3.4!
