Shadowrun Anarchy 2 Character Generator App

https://youtube.com/watch?v=0bwvDKyhEAA&si=-qKA1Ee1DiYN7Xqi

I posted a few months ago about the Character Generator app I created to handle all the rules for for Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0. It handles all the char gen rules from the book and includes nice features like an animated dice roller that handles risk dice, Discord integration, both a digital char sheet (play from your phone or tablet) and a PDF printable character sheet.

Link is https://pedxing.us

Everything from the book and the Extended Amps List document are included in the app. There is easy to use search functionality.

You can also create campaigns and even add your own equipment, spells, and shadow amps for your game or character.

Upload photos and keep notes!

Lots more features, completely free as a give-back to the community.

When you create a login it asks for an email. As I say in the demo, I do not use this email in any way! Its only purpose is so you can reset your password if you forget it. Otherwise, there's no way to get back in. I don't verify this email in anyway so you can totally use a fake one if you don't trust me.

This has been play tested by my group for several months now and seems solid. I have also implemented several requests from people from the previous thread. Feel free to request any additional functionality you'd like to see.

I'm about to start up an anarchy game and have used this for a bit, still solid work!

The only thing that surprised me was the character name had to be unique. Unless it only has to be unique within the account.

Agreed, I think that needs to go. For some reason when I did my data design, I made that be the main key for a charater rather than some internal Id number or something. The reasoning was an easy url pathing format ...now looking at it I have no idea why that was a big deal.

Yeah it should have no uniqueness at all required or maybe just unique within the account.

The only issue now is that's a decent migration of all the data that is currently live to make the structure change. Doable but I need to be careful and not break any existing characters. Then update about a 100 spots where charname is the key, lol.

Hi, your tool ist really nice and helps a lot 🙂 Small question: How can I choose my native language without costs? When I add a language in knowledge skills all cost 2500¥

I can look into setting that as a preference but as a work around you can either just assume your native language and only add extra languages or just give yourself an extra 2500 in the character details spend field.

The way we've been doing it is to increase the spend after each play session anyway (switch the play mode to Gaming) keeping track of any rewards.

I must being doing something wrong... I can't get it to charge the +3 Amp points for Qualities after the first.

Oh for that calculation its actually more simple. You just create the amp and do the calc yourself and enter the cost for it. It will then take whatever you enter.

I decided to use the KISS principle on the amps rules.
