Basically the title says it all. I'm looking for some GM tools to help me run my campaign. Here's what I would like something that:
SR4a compatable
Tracks multiple char sheets, including advancement
NPC sheets
GM Notes
Storyline tracker

Would be nice to have:
Chargen
Die Roller

Things I've tried/looked at:
OpenRPG
iTabletop
ShadowDice
cndblank's GruntBuilder spreadsheet
all the dxi apps
DarkSeven's awesome chargen spreadsheet

I've seen a couple software packages out there, but they generally seem built towards online play, or are no longer maintained (hence, not SR4a compatable). So what do you all use...the classic manila folder system? Multiple spreadsheets? Something you built yourself? As a note this is for an in-person game, so online capability isn't really needed. I'm also willing to look at paid software, but it must have either a free trial or an extremely good recommendation...
