Official online character generator error reporting

This official generator is not maintained by Modiphius, as far as I know.
It could be, that the license to keep it published and accessible will be pulled, too.

So I recommend saving it from your browser as “whole website”, which will include all the contents to generate your characters, only a few of the icon images will be missing.

I have tried it and it works fine.

As there are no further books to be expected, it is reasonably complete.

How does one do that? I plan to run more Conan in the future and would hate to lose such a valuable tool.

You go to the Conan character generator website in your browser of choice and save the whole website using the option “Save whole website” (might be called slightly different, depending on your browser).
You save this whole website in a directory of your choice.
In this directory, you run (double-click should to the trick) the file. index.html.
The character generator starts and works as usual - though some of the icons of some buttons might not be available. But the function is still complete.

Else:
Use the Github project.
You need: ■■■, zip and node with npm.
0. You need to be acquainted with command line operation in a terminal window of your OS, and ■■■, zip and node should be known to you, too.

  1. Clone the Repository: ■■■ clone https://github.com/azjerei/Conan2d20.■■■
  2. Go to the project: cd Conan2d20/WebTools
  3. Install all Dependencies: npm i (ignore all warnings, as this web site will only be run locally on your computer).
  4. Build the Webapp: npm run package (ignore the warnings).
  5. Collect everything: zip -r app index.html dist/ res/ version.js
  6. Zip archives need a path, create a new directory, unpack the archive from step 5 there, repack it: unzip app -d conan2d20; zip -r conan2d20 conan2d20
  7. On the machine of your choice, in the directory of your choice, unpack conan2d20.zip.
  8. Go to the unpacked directory, in that start the index.html file.

(Edit: Why, oh WHY does this forum “dot out” the three letters of G. I. T., which is Github without the hub, in my post? This piece of software is called G.I.T. for AGES! Dotting it out is quite … lamentable.)

Or you download this zip-file here:

(Absolutely NO guarantees of any kind involved with this zip file. It might nuke your computer. You are warned. Download and unpack at your own risk. Now you know. - If you want to have full controll, use the method under “else” and go to Github.)

I would divide this step into two seperate steps, because the semicolon might cause problems if you are using the wrong terminal window.

BTW everything after step 4 is optional. If you plan to run the tool only on one computer you just need to create a bookmark to the index.html in your broswer.

Any known intent to add the Age Of Conan (MMO) book to this?

As the product line is past it’s end, and as this character generator is not maintained by Modiphius, the chances of including anything which is not in there already are rather slim to non-existent.

Posted it in a different thread but I’m adding the link here for visibility as it seems relevant:

I know it’s old post, but still not solved, so here is the solution:

  1. Navigate to “about:config” within Firefox
  2. Search for “dom.block_download_insecure”
  3. Set “dom.block_download_insecure” to “false”

It will disable Firefox block for HTTP download (please be aware of the implications!). Changing this setting doesn’t require firefox restart, or even page reload, so you can do this without losing your new, precisely generated character.

Is anyone out there experiencing the same thing I am of late with the character generator? Specifically, when I go to the web page (using Chrome) I see the background image and the “Conan” logo, but nothing else. I can’t actually access the character generator or skill tree list.

I am experiencing the same…

Nothing on screen, only the green background…

The online character generator is no longer maintained by Modiphius.
There is a functional version on Github, though:

Ah! Excellent. I was totally unaware of both the former and the latter. Thank you!

Any idea if the conversion to PDF will actually be back anytime soon?
