skoll Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi all,I'm pleased to announce the general availability of the Magic World Encounter Generator!Those familiar with the RQ6 Encounter Generator can jump right in at http://ouropa.planeetta.com/rq_tools/mw_enemygen/For the rest, here's a brief introduction. Magic World Encounter Generator is a tool designed to help MW GM's to quickly generate monster/NPC stats. There are two sides to the usage of the tool.1. Generating stats. Just go the Magic World Encounter Generator, search for the monster you need, hit "Generate", and let the combat begin.2. Creating new templates. If the creature you need (a Troll Warlord, an Archlich Sorcerer, a Direwolf; whatever your campaign needs) does not exist in the system yet, you can create it yourself. For that you need to create an account and log in. Once logged in, you can create any kind of monster/NPC specifications (the tool uses the term "Template" for these specifications) you need and make them available for other GM's. Right now it's still rather empty. I created a couple of orc templates and a few other creatures. Somebody should add at least the basic rulebook bestiary. (With the RQ6 instance of the tool the community has created over 2000 templates over the past two years and generated over 110000 creatures.)Note! I don't play Magic World myself, so there might be errors in how the tool is set up. If you encounter problems, or have any improvement ideas, let me know. 2 Quote Mythras Encounter Generator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonewt Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Skoll, do you mind if I see the code and DB schema? Edited November 2, 2015 by dragonewt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoll Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 The source it at https://github.com/skoll69/RQ6-Enemy-Generator. If you are not familiar with Django, mw/models.py defines the db schema for the MW part. (And enemygen/models.py for the RQ6 part.)

NickMiddleton Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Few quick observations from having generated a small orc band:there is NO "Stat x 5 " roll for SIZ in Magic WorldTHP seem wrong; looks like they are CON+SIZ; should be (CON+SIZ)/2 There are no Major Wound Values (should be THP / 2)Otherwise looks good.cheers,Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickMiddleton Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Question - what effect does the Rank rating actually have?Cheers,Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoll Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 there is NO "Stat x 5 " roll for SIZ in Magic WorldTHP seem wrong; looks like they are CON+SIZ; should be (CON+SIZ)/2 There are no Major Wound Values (should be THP / 2) Fixed.Question - what effect does the Rank rating actually have?None. It's just to indicate to other users how powerful they can expect the creature to be. Quote Mythras Encounter Generator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwolfe Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks, Skoll! I'll do my best to devote some TLC to the generator :-) Cheers!

NickMiddleton Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Have been working my way through the MW bestiary. Couple of observations: I can't seem to assign whether a custom weapon can parry or not? There's nowhere obvious to add notes regarding weapons / attacks (e.g. the Cattle's Trample is contingent on the opponent being on the floor, Chunchon MP drain...) Is there any particular reason why the default list of published entries ISN'T alphabetical?

I'll add it later during the weekend. There's nowhere obvious to add notes regarding weapons / attacks (e.g. the Cattle's Trample is contingent on the opponent being on the floor, Chunchon MP drain...) We have used the template notes for that. Do you think that works for you? The reason there hasn't been weapon-specific notes is, that the notes wouldn't be printed anyway in the weapons section, but in the notes section. (Or at least I think that makes most sense.) Is there any particular reason why the default list of published entries ISN'T alphabetical? It's sorted primarily by rank, and secondarily by name. But if you think it should be alphabetical, I can change it. And you have noticed, that you can sort the list by any column?

And you have noticed, that you can sort the list by any column? Cool. I had noticed the sort by columns and to be honest I think alphabetical as the default is a better idea, but it's not that urgent. the notes section is probably fine - could it be made a bit larger on the web page though? Creatures like the Greater Demon have a bunch of powers AND special weapons that transcribing into the existing box is a bit irritating. cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoll Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 OK, so... Custom weapons now have Parry checkbox Enemy list is sorted by name The notes-field is bigger Also found a bug that prevented usign Enter (line breaks) in the Notes field - that's been fixed now 2 Quote Mythras Encounter Generator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkokko Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Small thing: The name of the "Tab" is still RQ6 Encounter Generator. For example generate a new enemy. Observe the name of the tabs the other one reads "RQ6 Encounter Generator" the other one reads for example: "MW:Angel 1" Quote My Glorantha/Mythras blog with Glorantha Cult One-pagers and Mythras Encounter Tool updates and Mythras GM Charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkokko Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It seems that the City Watch I created as a party has disappeared. Also: trying to feel lucky on the empty party page creates an error message.

Sunwolfe Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hey, Skoll & Hkokko, I know the link to the MW enemy generator is no longer valid in light of time and all the changes, but might the MW generator be available via another path...or is it a completely dead project?

Sunwolfe Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 For any who were curious, I just got the official word. The MW EG is definitely bye-bye, but when it was available some, particularly myself, greatly appreciated the resource and the work involved.
