Thanks! I’ve been having a play with Masterplan, converting a couple of adventures (one 1st Ed, one 4e) to get used to it. Expect a review next episode!

@Ben Drew
I’d love to see an article (or three!) on using Masterplan with other RPG systems. I’m unlikely to run any 4th ed. any time soon, but Masterplan looks like it could be really great.

It’s funny; we were saying on our podcast (gratuitous plug -> nearlyenoughdice.com) that we’d love to see a program for running an adventure from a laptop, and two days later a Reddit post brings me here! Masterplan is almost exactly what we were wishing existed…

Absolutely! I am currently working on an Iron Heroes setting using Masterplan myself. While it is less useful for combat when running a d20 game, it certainly works for planning, organization and inspiration. Maybe this is worth writing an article elaborating on it?

I wonder about using masterplan for other games than DND 4e. Do you think it is usable for say a D20 Modern Game?

I do something similar but using the Chaos Scar adventures published in Dungeon. I find that Masterplan works very well and I have been using it since version 6*. Keep up the good work.
