If this program were simply an NPC generator--i.e., just the NPC Generator feature--that alone would make it spectacular; the fact that you happen to be able to make your own characters with it is like the icing. I've been playing, and more relevant to this review, running these games since around the end of 2d Ed. or the beginning of Revised, so I'm not exaggerating when I say that this piece of software would have probably saved me combined days (if not weeks) of my life making NPCs--and often times, and theoretically more important: making NPC's in a way that conforms to the rules as to theoretically be fair/balanced (or what passes for fair/balanced in the WoD,) against however much XP the PCs had. And on top that, finally being able to very quickly generate a robust, random NPC for whatever situation (and being able to spam the button until something pop ups that looks good,) is completely indispensable. Really, the only thing I think could make it better (and honestly, it's totally possible that if I knew even a lick of code, I'd be able to find this in the guts of the system files,) is some explanation as to how to make my own "Archetypes" from the NPC; but, again, that might be completely possible, but I'm simply lacking the technical expertise to figure it out.
I just cannot recommend this software enough.
