Accelerant Character Generator 2.0
The Character Generator is an online system for managing live action roleplaying games based on the Accelerant (formely nTeraction) system. It's currently in use at Madrigal, Endgame, and Valhalla, and was used by Atlas Adventures, Radiant Dragon, and Pirate Island during their campaigns.
I'm currently working on a complete overhaul of the Character Generator built on PHP/MySQL. Because PHP/MySQL is extremely popular and widely known, hosting is cheap and easy. My hope is that it should be easy to find people in the gaming community with the skills to support the new version.
I plan to release the new version under an open source license, which will allow games to manage and modify it for their own campaigns. I may continue to provide paid support to some degree.
CG 2.0 will probably be released sometime in 2011, depending on how much Real Life intervenes. I'll be looking for reviewers and testers as I get closer to release.
Features of the new version will include:
- Complete overhaul of the user interface, including a new single-page, much more intuitive Character Wizard.
- Significant technology improvements, including a complete rebuild in PHP/MySQL and an architectural overhaul that should provide streamlined CP tracking and eliminate some current calculation issues.
The UI is almost done, including the new Character Wizard. I hope to have a demo up soon. In the meantime, please contact me for more information.
Can I use the Character Generator for my game?
I'm continuing to support games currently using the Character Generator, but because I need to put my time and energy towards the new version, I'm not currently taking requests for new installations.
You'll be welcome (and encouraged!) to use the new version when it's released. Please contact me if you're interested in being added to my mailing list for the new version.
