I am truly amazed by this and am excited to use it but despite knowing that generating the backstory can take up a while, the application hasn't once managed to generate anything and I did download everything that was needed.
This looks Awesome!! I was wondering if you are still working on this? I was wondering if maybe you could include a few other small details if you are. Like a deity category as well as a home (where the PC comes from, ie. city, village, forest, region, etc.) If possible, perhaps a journal category that can update your background during the game as you complete tasks and earn achievements?
You just need to install the runtime environment and development kit. I have both download links on the main page. After that, just open the .jar file.
Love it, would it be possible to make it so you can save the character sheet to say a PDF?... Thanks for sharing your work... Also atm it seems only to let you click the generate button once, it would be great if you could keep generating a background until you found one you wanted rather than having to make another char...
Thanks for pointing out the button bug! The pdf generation has been something I've been working on and have made good progress. At this point I can convert the graphical nodes to pdf, but the scaling is not correct. I have a couple of potential solutions and should have it working by mid week.
If anyone's having issues generating the backstory, I've already isolated the problem and am creating a fix. It should be resolved in the next couple of days.
Yep, I'm going to include with the next iteration, along with pdf generation. This is actually the first time I noticed the identity options in the game, after going through the character creator again. I thought it was only body type and genital selection. Next iteration will hopefully be out by mid week. Still trying to figure out how to scale JavaFX nodes during the pdf conversion.
Played around with it - it was really fun. Only thing I noticed is that trying to create an "evil" character wasn't possible. I went for something obvious: a lolth-sworn cleric. Each time, she saw the evil of her goddess and went to help people on the surface. Maybe if there was an alignment selector to adjust the generated background parameters, it could go for more flexibility? I could see a general "Good", "Neutral", "Evil" just to put that impact on the generated text.
You know, I didn’t think of that but that’s a great idea. I’ll add some extra alignment options (chaotic evil, lawful neutral, etc) and implement it in the next iteration.

Just saying.
Also atm it seems only to let you click the generate button once, it would be great if you could keep generating a background until you found one you wanted rather than having to make another char...
edit: is it compatible with mods?(both races and classes)
Edit: nvm managed to finally get it running
