Have any of you used these? If so what are your opinions on it?
I have to admit I absolutely love the NSRCG, and I've had great luck with Red Blade.
Also does anyone know of any modifications that could allow me to use it for a Star Wars game? Or of a similar style character generator for Star Wars?
I use Red Blade a lot and think its a very nicely done program, but I don't think it really handles things outside of the core rules. For something like that, I think you need to go with pcgen. It's much less user friendly, but it has mods for almost every d20 game.
Links, please?
The NSRCG is down right now, but if you decide to play Shadowrun 3rd Edition let me know I keep a copy around. As for Red Blade (http://home.redblade.org/) it's pretty sweet.
The NSRCG is down due to some site remodeling at DSF (http://dumpshock.com/).

Thanks SP. It's not that I will or wont play a Shadowrun character or not (I've never played, so you'll have to hook me up when I'm in Holland next!), I just like to see how people do these things to compile ideas and concepts for my idea that will take over the world!
Anyone with updates on any of these?
I don't know if you've seen Pathguy's character generators, but they are cool, IMHO. He has generators for most d20 games: Modern, Cthulhu, Star Wars, 3.5 D&D, and 4e D&D. The character sheet is exported to a webpage, and then you can save it, or copy and paste into a text document (which what I do).

I hope this helps! :)
If nothing else, it never hurts to have these links when I need them!

Just wondering, these are either downloads or javascript based generators right?
Javascript, I believe... it's all web-based.

Yay, someone else knows the Pathology Guy! Cool! I mean, Pathology + Chess Variants + Planescape with silly pictures, what could ever possibly beat that?

That's what they looked like. Then no permanence other than printing or saving to your drive? I ask because this is sort of a passion for me. :p

They could add permanence by either setting a cookie, writing to a DB, etc. JavaScript has come a long way in the last few years. You can do a lot with AJAX using a good JS library like JQuery.

Yes, you can but I guess I was asking if they did. I could always go check such things out myself and get off my lazy behind but...;)
