About the Cradle of Heroes The Cradle of Heroes is a fan created gaming tool that I developed to meet my needs as a GM and player. It's designed so that anyone can create and manage characters and creatures and to simplify the character creation process. Tutorial videos are available on my YouTube channel. The Cradle is also about community and I hope it can grow to become an informal marketplace for NPCs, creatures and ideas for Runequest. Characters can also be added to the open roster by selecting the "Open" check-box when you are creating or editing the character. They can then be coped and modified by other users, making their lives easier and letting them take advantage of your work and creativity. As more users share content in this way, it becomes easier for new and more experienced players to quickly and easily build high quality character for their Runequest games. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the app. I've created a Trello board to help manage feedback and updates. Please note that this iteration of the app is still in BETA phase. There will be bugs and while I'll make every effort to keep and persist all user-generated content, it may not always be possible. If anyone wants to help make the app better, the code is up on GitHub. Any suggestions or improvements (especially to front-end JS) are very welcome. --- ToferC I put together a few tutorial videos on how to sign in and use theRunequest Character App effectively.

What t.v., movie, comic book characters, do you want BRP stats for? I am thinking we should all list what we want to see! We can all share suggestions, or sources or our own interpretation for character stats. if you know of stats for such creature please state the book the stats are in. creature stats i would like to see: The ID monster from Forbidden Planet. Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet. Dr Who characters, and villians.

We all know that good Call of Cthulhu character miniatures are hard to come by. Are there any good sources for cardstock character?? I have a ton of extra counter-bases from Eldritch horror and similar games that would perfect stands for stand-ups. I'm also considering using the character counters from Arkham and Eldritch games.

During the playtest of Basic Roleplaying, my group and I converted tons of settings and characters to see how the system held up. While many were uploaded here years ago, most have disappeared. I thought my own copies had been lost to the corrupted hard drives of time, but some have recently be discovered on an old flash drive. None of these were actually intended to be shared outside my group, and many were nothing more then an impulse conversion, an experiment so to speak. Here's hoping they will be of interest to someone out there. I will be using this thread to link to them in the Downloads section. The first is an adaption of John Carter of Mars roughly after the events of book three. Rod

My players like to use pregens, so I always struggle whether I should, as a keeper, roll the stats as usual for pregen characters or use the point-buy method in order to sculpt them a little more. I'm curious how other keepers handle this.
