I have to admit it, I really didn't know what I was asking for
when I chose this program. Didn't I read all the associated blurb
in the SynTax lists? I most certainly did, I just didn't make
sense of it that's all!

Was FRP a RPG? Well that's what I actually hoped it was, fingers
crossed. As it turned out, it was a Fantasy Role Playing aid for
dungeon masters who get bored with rolling all those dice. Armed
with this program, all they have to do is choose which kind of
event or encounter is about to occur in the game they're
controlling and hey presto, the program works calculates the
outcome.

Hmm, sadly not being into such things myself I can't really
comment on just how useful such a program is. I'd always thought
that dungeon masters had to be seriously into dice rolling, but I
could be wrong. FRP's program seems to work very well and is easy
to use, and if you're a dungeon master advising a party of role
players as they battle their way through various scenarios, then
this will save you a lot of hassle! Equally if you're into D&D and
roll a lot of dice, check this program out. Regrettably, I very
rarely have to roll dice myself, hence the rating.

Rating: Fish!
