Message: <blockquote data-quote="Firzair" data-source="post: 2132152" data-attributes="member: 1334">Ok, here's some more meat from my current application...Here's what I thought would be needed: - available data types (integer, float, string, dice, memo, cost (that's an abstract fantasy money value), object, reference, item, itemslot, logical (yes/no) and SetOf (reference to one or more objects)- some basic definition for a bonus  I've got a table just for you to enter available bonus (and penalty) names and whether they stack or not. Bonus handling is done by the dataobject- tables for storage of the dataCurrent tables (using access at the moment):Object types (e.g. creature, skill, feat etc.)Variables by object type (e.g. age, hit_points_max, skill[] for creature)Objects (all object types are stored in the same table, the object data goes into a BLOB)Bonus types (as described above)Rules (for storing rules that don't directly belong to a variable or an object; not sure if needed)Masks (my name for panels to show the data)Generators (here the rules for different generation methods for the various object types are stored; a generator can be with or without graphical interface)GeneratorTables (I've created an engine like an early version of TableSmith; here the tables will be stored)Tables (here you can store tables like experience by CR etc.)The object table has the following fields:ObjectTypeObjectNameCreator (this is part of the primary key, so you can import data with the same name from a friend and the select, which version to use)Data (the BLOB with the actual dataPrereq (expressions that can be checked; if the prerequisites are not satisfied the object won't appear in selection boxes; can be overridden)Description (a free text)Rules (rules for the specific object)Active (a true/false field, where you can just turn off the availability of the object)DisplayName (as described above)Licence (reference to the OGL for that object)Perhaps that's a not so abstract base for conversation and discussion.GreetingsFirzair</blockquote>
