Great product. I've been playing Rolemaster off and on for years (mostly FRP, because I prefer the way it handles spells), and I've used various utilities and spreadsheets for character creation and management over that time. Nothing holds a candle to ERA.
Sure, purchasing modules can get expensive, but you're paying for the convenience of not having to manually fill out the character sheet (in the late 90s, I actually had a group mutiny during character creation).
I’m giving this application five stars because it deserves it, but the following two things could be improved in subsequent versions:
1) We need an easier way to create your own content for ERA. ICE is never going to release a downloadable add-on for MERP for instance, but it would be nice if the fan community could easily work on supplements themselves.
2) The character record could better reflect a character’s inventory. In fact, an option to export a character sheet with a format identical to ICE’s official ones would be perfect.
