Roll Character History

I've put the preliminary web interface to my table-rolling program up. Currently there are only two tables: a very simple table for rolling up bar names, and a very complex table for rolling character histories.

Play around with it, and feel free to nitpick. Things that I know are still problems in some of the tables:

No [something] yet – means a sub-table was called that I haven't bothered to fill out.

() – means that a subtable was called but didn't yield and answer.

was/were – this should show only the appropriate form. If it shows up as written it usually means that there's some missing whitespace in the table so the pattern matching didn't work

” ” – sometimes a subtable yields nothing, but there's no sign of it except a word seems to be missing from a sentence, e.g. “whose goal is ,”

Various places where the subject doesn't agree with the verb.

Various places where a space is missing between words.

The Character History table is actually a lot more robust than this makes it sound. If you let me know any problems you find (generally I need the exact text to track it down), I'd appreciate it.

New Group Blog

Per Wendy’s request, I’ve set up a new group blog and given you all access. Books Do Furnish A Room is a group blog for the Sunday gaming group to share book recommendations in a place where we can possibly remember them. When you log in to MovableType you should now see an Books Do Furnish A Room in the dropdown list, in addition to BlogRiPpinG. Add entries to record your book recommendations, or talk about books that we’ve read, or whatever.

Not about our games

or even face-to-face games, but I still think Terra Nova might be of interest to some of you.
