New Microlite20 thread

[Age of Fable]

I think if I end up using Microlite20 I'll do saves based on how they work in d20, just because that's likely to be reasonably balanced.

I think balancing comes with playing the game and seeing what works, just like in anything.

Let us know how this works for you!

Ah. It's good to have ENWorld back up and running, ain't it?

Just a quickie to let you know that http://microlite20.net is up and running. Thanks to all donaters! I'm busy migrating content over, the current theme is temporary (but growing on me), and there's still lots to do (forum, store, a little restructuring here and there), but alive is alive is alive

If you're in the neighbourhood, drop by and say hi!

microlite20 Character Generator

While Greywulf was moving in bullet-time to get the new m20 site up, I threw together a PHP m20 character generator. It's core rules only, but the cool part is being able to download the character sheet as a PDF with values filled in.

I'm working on a version where you can add in rulesets from the Macropedia - I'm using Grimstaff's Expert rules as a starting point. I'll also probably do the Modern rules as well.

Let me know what you think, any feedback is appreciated. Praise will keep me working on this till 3am some nights.

I like it! I mean, it's kinda funny to have a generator for a game as simple as Microlite, but it sure makes creating characters simple...

Are you thinking of expanding the generator to higher level characters? That would make it more useful for NPCs.

Thanks for the kind words!

That's what I was thinking... or of just having some pre-gens available for tossing out there. Not to mention it appealed to the programming geek in me to program a simple ruleset into a simple generator. The actual generation isn't that hard, it was more of remembering all the weird PHP quirks and then doing the PDF generation that took awhile.

Not to mention that if I get the inclusion of various Macropedia rulesets, you can mix/match and have a consistent character generation, which will be helpful for some, I hope.

The codebase does support more than first level and one of the things I'll do when I'm finished with the chargen is to make an NPC generator. Although I guess it might not hurt to do same for characters... I'll add that to the todo list. I don't have it set up to do the automatic advances, but when I create the code for the NPC gen, I'll end up using the same m20 class and just make it available in the chargen.

If you leave comments on the microlite20 site for the story about the chargen application (http://microlite20.net/node/33), I'll be able to keep track of bugs and suggestions there in one place.

Thanks again!

m20 Char Gen updated

I've updated the microlite20 Character Generator, which can be found here:
http://microlite20.net/chgowiz/m20cg/m20cg.php

The generator is currently based on the following rulesets from the Macropedia:
- Core
- Expert (Grimstaff)

More rulesets from the Macropedia will be made available going forward.

Hopefully this will be available on sourceforge soon as well so others can contribute.

Please leave any comments, suggestions or bug fixes in comments to the article on the microlite20 site (here: http://www.microlite20.net/node/33 ) I will keep updating it as new rulesets and features are added.

Hey, nice chargen!

 

[greywulf]

Just a quick heads up: I've posted a new Microlite20 article over at the new site entitled Everything you need to know about the Microlite20 Skill System.... but were afraid to ask.

Enjoy

Are you going to make a Microlite version of 4th edition?
