 August 30, 2007 - 9:36pm | I rolled a flippin' wiz-bang on this one. I'm keepin' him. Some recommendations for improvement: 1) Auto-roll button for height, weight and age to match the Dragon Mag/Frontiersman article. 2) For skills, provide a Zeb's skill list option. After the 25th Anniversary Edition, you may even have requests for being able to mix the two. 3) When you do the weapons choices, you should do an "Add Weapon" button. The entries should be automatic, but changeable. When you change one of a weapon's stats any other stats for the weapon should adjust if necessary. 4) Since the form can be edited and updated, it makes sense to be able to edit the increasable racial abilities. 5) Needs pre-calculated base skill success rates for AD and ZG. As for the presentation, it looks great. |

 August 31, 2007 - 4:18am | 1) agreed - would be really to have auto roll for height, weight, and age. 2) I have plans for the character generator that includes rule options that people can select/deselect prior to starting the generation that will provide new skills, races, equipment choices, etc. I'm working out a solution for this and trying to decide if it should all be coded (simpler for me) or if I should provide the ability for users to create custom rule add-ons. 3) Agreed - the equipment part is one part I need to work on completely. I plan on having a combobox for "Weapon|Defense|Toolkit|Ammo/Energy|Robot|Vehicle|Miscellaneous" which will populate a second combobox with whichever category is selected's gear list, then a button "Add". Of course, I'll make you able to remove items too. 4) Yes, this one I need to work on. 5) Good idea 6) That could be an add-on rule for options like I mentioned in 2? 3.
