Zac Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) I was beginning to start to make a background generator for character generation and I found that there was one that was already made. I also realised that there weren't any repositories that had links to tools and also had data and code people could use to build their own tools. Are other app developers interested in creating a repository to share code and tools? I have done something similar for the Oathmark miniature game as well as Conquest of Elysium 5. For both games I wrote some NodeJS tools to convert data from .CSV to JSON. I tend to view .CSV as a default way to store data and then build out tools to create specific formats. Also, if such a thing gets running who would I need to contact at Chaosium regarding this? --- The list so far RuneQuest: Adventures in Glorantha tools and apps Character Creation Google Sheets Character Sheet and created by Phil Hibbs Cradle of Heroes Character and Encounter Creator web app by ToferC Famiy History Generator by Jacob Andersson Play aids RuneQuest One Page Character Sheet - Javascript app intended to be a live character sheet for use in play.

That would be fabulous- in addition to the Family History generator, there are a few others I've seen like this one page character sheet. The closest existing repository is arguable the collection of character sheets on the fandom wiki- https://runequest-glorantha.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Sheets_and_Forms . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest contacting Michael O'Brien (email: mob at chaosium dot com) - this sounds like a licensing or business development inquiry, it definitely isn't something that you could do via the community content programme. If MOB isn't the right person, he'll be able to point you in the right direction. 1 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

Wheel Shield Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I am surprised this has not been mentioned, but there is an official Runequest Glorantha System module in development for RQ:G for Foundry VTT. I *think* it is intended for future commercial use, but the Alpha/Beta/WIP (whatever it actually is) can be used. It's stable and capable of actual play. You have to install it in Foundry manually, but there are some instructions to the Read Me at the bottom of this link. It's really quite neat. https://github.com/sun-dragon-cult/fvtt-system-rqg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecake Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I’m very slowly working on a general RQ Python library, starting with a monster stats generator, then a character generator. I’d also be interested in collaborating with others. A standard character format (probably in JSON) that multiple programs could use was one thing planned. When I have more to show I’ll open my GitHub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
