Does the ‘old’ generator still get an update and a cleaning of the last errors, until your new tool will be released?
Unfortunately not. There is no time left over to do that. The new one is progressing slowly. It is missing PDF exporting (not much left) and Mutations.
Absolutely no problem! Your generators are so great, I can wait.
But I have already a wish for the new generator: currently when I create a Bauhaus noble or Imperial clansmen, I have to give the character a existing house/clan/family. Do you think, it would be possible, to give the option to join an unofficial house/clan/family?
That might be a possibility, I cannot make any promises
The hard thing about that is what kind of bonuses you should get. My suggestion would be to use an existing house or clan, and then just change the name when you’re done. The PDF will be editable.
Can you antecipate when the new character generator will be available? (I’m not asking for anything specific, any vague prediction will do).
When it’s done
Sorry, that is all I can say. Time is not on my side.
I decided to give Father Time the boot, and lo and behold… the tool has reached beta. I can finally present it to you.

Hope you like it. It is in beta, so there is bound to be some problems, hopefully minor ones. Use the normal feedback channel to let me know if you find any problems with it.
Known issues:
- The Chronicle Points page mentions “Infinity Points”. A copy+paste error.
- There is no button to export to PDF on the last page. It seems to have gone missing.
- The character sheet on the last page has a blue background.
Thanks again for all of your work on this! Speeds up creating pregens for offering one-shot games to my local drop-in RPG sessions no end.
The known issues have now been fixed
It doesn’t seem to allow Brotherhood characters. Am I just missing something obvious or is that unfinished?
Should work. What happens? Also let me know which options you select.
Brotherhood training does not appear to be available in the Dark Symmetry era. Also, Core + Imperial when making an Imperial does not seem to have any education. Third, I did not see a way to make heretics work, but I may just not have experimented enough.
This is now fixed, thanks for pointing it out
I cannot see a problem here. Just tried making an Imperial character using the Imperial Source, and it went through education just fine. How is it behaving for you? It should go to Educations after Clan.
Check the “Allow Heretics” checkbox on the first page. Then you will see an option in both the Education and Primary/Iconic Career pages: “Become Heretic”.
When I make an Imperial with the Imperial source book it goes through clans and then Education is just empty. Maybe it’s for certain clans it’s broken? I can’t recall which clans I picked, but it was at least 2 and it failed both times.
Thanks for fixing the brotherhood. I’m putting together an online game and I was like “Yay, character generator.” But then I was like “this isn’t right.”
Question, should skills be able to go up to 7?
Apparently with Iconic Careers using Core + Mishima, you can get NaN LP. I’m not sure if this is only for certain careers or not.
EDIT: I found it occurs after Education.
Update on Imperial: Education seems to work, but when rolling for family and education it seems to only give Bristol for education and Affiliated family for family.
Don’t misinterpret this, but I love you!
But one question:
I just tried to create a character, landed by
SMYTHE (FAMILY: AFFILIATED FAMILY
Under tappings is a list of items and above this list, you remind “Choose one”. But I can’t choose anything, and on the character sheet appears the top most item. Is this intended?
Edit 2:
I currently testing the new generator and found several problems, but I think it would be better to send them to you via support button? So you don’t have to check every entry here?
Thanks, I will look at it.
It is OK to post here.
That problem should have been fixed with the last update.
I cannot seem to reproduce this error. If it occurs again for you, please try to remember the exact choices you made along the way.
Yes, both the clan and education algorithms were somehow broken. Funny how randomness on computers still have not been solved.
My bad. It will be fixed in the next update that is going up in a few minutes. Thanks.
