If you want to start using D&D Helper, I'd suggest you download the
zip file first, and then test out the program. If you like what you see and
you want the extra ability to generate names, words, and other things.

D&D Helper can use additional files to generate various things.
They are not required to run D&D Helper -- they just provide more
tools to the DM or player. If you want a thorough understanding of
the different types of databases that you can download, see my
explanation page for a comparison of the strengths
and weaknesses of the different formats.
Before you download a file, you should check out sample output from that
file. Just click on the Sample link and a pop-up window will appear. The
results in the window will be along the same lines that your Palm will give
you. Reloading the window will generate more results for you.
Miscellaneous Databases
Files that don't have enough in a collection to warrant a category of
their own. Click on the file to download the individual database, or mark a
set of files and click "Make Zip File" to download them as a single zip
archive.
Names
Need a name for your character? These databases are here to help. If
you click on the filename, you will download that individual file. If you
want to download a Zip archive of several files, just check the boxes near
the filenames and then press "Make Zip File" to download them all at once.
Language Generation
These databases will allow D&D Helper to generate words that resemble
real words for the given language. Just click on the filename to download
it, or you can check the various checkboxes and press "Make Zip File" to
download a Zip archive of the different files.

- Source Code
- The source code for the latest version is available here. Feel free to
find bugs and submit patches!
- D&D Helper Class
- This PHP class is an extender for
PHP-PDB (a PHP class to
read and write PDB files). It will assist in writing databases that can be
used by D&D Helper. This class is very slow when dealing with letter
pair databases, so you should only write 'Pick' and 'PSR' style
databases on the fly, if ever.
- PSR PHP Functions
- These are the functions I use to load PSR files for showing sample
output and for generating the Palm databases.
- MenuHack
- A HackMaster extension (that works with HackMaster, EVPlugBase,
X-Master, etc.) that will let you tap the menu bar of an application to
pull down the menu, instead of doing the counter-intuitive action of
pressing the menu button for the menu. Only older Palm handhelds can
benefit from this -- the newer ones have this built-in. This is not
required to run the program. It merely makes life easier.
