- Save/Load scenarios (Add all the resources you need for your next gaming session and save it as a “Scenario”, so you can load it easily)
- Generic Plugin: ImageViewer (manages a list of images and shown them on a 2nd screen, for example a projector; Also has the capability of drawing onto a picture and move tokens around on it, especially usefull for maps, as it also includes the possibility of using a “fog of war” to hide the parts of an image/map that players should not yet see)

- Shadowrun 4th Plugin: Overview Character Viewer (like the full character viewer, it just doesn't use a complete character sheet, instead if shows an overview with the most important (configurable) skills, attributes, etc.)
- Shadowrun 4th Plugin: Combat Tracker (keeps track of combatants, health and initiative)
- Shadowrun 4th Plugin: NPC Generator (creates single npcs or groups of npcs based on templates, for example if you need to create a small gang on the fly)
