This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I added some more tools to my page. They'd been posted previously in various threads but never made it tot he index page for easy finding. There is:


  • random car chase generator
  • random exalted manse generator
  • random NPC generator (no system stats, just personalities, quirks, jobs, names based on ethnicity, etc.)
  • Javascript and html Exalted / Scion battle wheel
  • Table of weights for modern objects
  • Scion / Exalted die roller
  • Filterable Scion pantheon list
  • Quick reference page of boons, knacks, gear, and more for Scion
  • WFRP and Dark Heresy crit roller
  • Mass combat excel spreadsheet for Scion
  • Mass combat excel spreadsheet for Exalted
  • 2 fillable NPC sheets for Exalted which use Epsilon's NPC creation system
  • Excel spreadhseet for quicker NPC generation in Scion (not using Epsilon's system)


There's also a ton of links to other peoples' online tools that I've found interesting over the years.

Scion Quick reference updates:
- all content from the Companion should be there
- all content from Yazatas should be there
- added ultimate attributes
- fixed dice pools to match the Companion's print version
- added a house rules tab, though it's probably not useful to anyone outside my group

Scion pantheon filter updates:
- all gods should be there except for the ones in the WWII section of the companion
- fixed bug that shows multiple entries if a god has multiple animal purviews

Added the mass combat weapons from World At War and Ragnarok to the scion quick reference.

The pantheons from World at War are in the pantheon filter. I still need to add a way to limit the searches to just WWI deities, no WWII deities, or everything. The back-end work on that is done, it's just a matter of updating the web page.

I added Virtues to the scion quick reference, including what they can be used for, what they have to be resisted to do, and their extremities.

I added a quick reference for Shadowrun 4th (Anniversary edition) that's similar to the Scion quick reference. It's not as extensive as the Scion screen was and it likely never will be as there's just too much crunch in SR to try to get it into one screen. But hopefully it'll be useful for people.

Please check it out and let me know if I've missed something major.

Todo

  • The matrix tab is empty because our group doesn't have a hacker and we've streamlined the matrix rules.
  • Needs a tab in the combat section for explosives.
  • need to add the matrix and magic actions to the table of action types.
  • Need to go through the add-on books like Street Magic, Augmentation, etc. and see if there's any charts that are basic enough that they should be on the screen.

A first stab at the matrix section is up. It's got the device ratings, signal ranges, and matrix search tables.

I added a tab with an initiative tracker on it to the shadowrun screen. I've tested it out but it hasn't seen any real world use (that'll be this Friday). If anyone finds a bug or has a feature to suggest, let me know.

I'll be updating it to store sessions so people don't have to constantly re-enter the data (similar to my Scion/Exalted Battle Wheel).

A couple of minor tweaks to the initiative tracker. If the next pass link causes a new turn to start, the pass number will flash briefly. I also changed the starting colors of the fields so they wouldn't look different if they'd been modified automatically.

Couple o' changes:

1) The initiative tracker now saves the info that's on it. It's stored in a cookie, so if you've got those turned off it won't work, and if you clear them you'll lose the info.

2) Changed airburst scatter to 2d6 to match the values in the GM screen.

I added the matrix services table from Unwired to the wireless world tab on the SR screen. It looked like it would be pretty useful to groups without a dedicated hacker (like ours).

Hey, I posted a separate thread about this, but it might be more relevant here, since you're talking about online tools.

http://foont.net/swords-and-wizardry/tools/

It uses the Swords & Wizardry FreeStyle rules, but is useful for a wide range of retro clones or generic fantasy settings.
