Has anyone made a character generator for the new DCC beta? There's only three choices to be made in character creation (Alignment, Physical Description, and Name) so having a program generate everything for you and paste it into a character sheet would make the game much more accessible. That and I can just print out like 20 characters and hand them out to the players when we sit down to play test.

We haven't seen one yet, but there is this *awesome* one for Hackmaster. I'm tempted to learn javascript just so I can make something like it.

The coder, Mike, even hangs out on these forums. Maybe if we ask him nicely enough ...

I don't expect it to be long before these sorts of things start popping up. That be said, the rules have been available for one day...

I've been considering making a javascript 0-level chargen app.

will you make it open source?

A character generator? For DCC?

It's not like there is much to making a character. My playtesters managed to each crank out three of them (12 total) in about 15 minutes, and the slow part was them waiting for me to tell them what their luck and profession rolls did. I can only imagine that it gets faster with practice.

Unless you're talking about some fancy thing to crank out upper level characters, which is hard to do since we don't really know all of the rules yet...
