develop the GUIs, even in a very coarse form, to support data entry. And, a power can have one of three different basic END cost structures, AND not every advantage actually increases the END cost. combine everything properly.most particularly for Endurance, since Ron is using the nasty 3rd Ed endurance costs. develop a structure for powers to have adders and options identify all powers, implement minimum purchase amounts. I've been playing with implementing Ron's Champions Now! rules in Java, when I have the mental energy and alertness (sleep problems these days). While I'm completely open to people using the existing codebase for HD for other projects (including chargens), any products based off of said codebase would need to have an arrangement going in for ongoing royalties or up-front reimbursement - I've put a large amount of work into the code.while I'm not dependent on it, nor do I want to just give it away. It would need to be more of a labor of love than even HD was. And with an ever-diminishing audience for PnP RPGs. You have the upfront effort to convert the codebase over to iOS/Android/Windows/MacOS/Linux implementations, plus the ongoing maintenance of what would then be multiple codebases, support for any changes to the system going forward (7th Edition, etc.), and general support across platforms. Non -Java HD: potentially, but MAJOR hurdles in the way. The system has moved on - there's an ever-diminishing audience that would want a 4th edition chargen, making the proposition a hard one to justify beyond pure sentimentality. There was also a company called Arknight Software who put out a Java based Mutants and Masterminds character generator called Mutagen! That website has since expired.4th Edition chargen: likely more work than it would ever return. However, in addition to requiring the Excel software, you will also need to join that group which means having a Yahoo! account will also be necessary. If you have an installation of Microsoft Excel (97 or later) you can use Simpson’s M&M Excel Amazing Character Builder. Unfortunately, character generators are few and far between. Fortunately with the convenience of a computer, there are places you can browse that will make your character creation experience brief and enjoyable. Typically this is done using a Character Sheet and putting number values into certain places to determine what your character is capable of. Wanted: One Mutants and Masterminds Character GeneratorĪlso like Dungeons and Dragons, the first thing you need to do to play Mutants and Masterminds is create a character. Like Dungeons and Dragons does for those who picture themselves fighting dragons with swords and shields, Mutants and Masterminds allows you to create a character who does the things you’d like to, and together with a Game Master, you write a story like you’d read in your favorite comic book. If this sounds like you, Mutants and Masterminds may be your chance to relive some of those towel-cape adventures you had in your childhood! Obviously, no matter how much we dream of flying or turning invisible, we always step wistfully back and shake away the dreams of our childhood for another dose of reality. I’m also willing to bet that if you ask anyone what super power they’d have if they could choos, it will have been something that they’ve already considered. With the blockbuster hits like Spiderman and all the X-Men movies, it’s no wonder the shelves are piled high with gigantic green foam gloves that make “smash” noises when they hit things. I’ve seen movies you kids have these days. I am willing to bet that there was a time in every one of our lives where we tied a bath-towel around our necks and stood in front of a fan, pretending we were a super hero flying through the air, on our way to right some wrong with righteous courage, style, and hellacious force!įor those of you who may be a shade younger than I, I know you have.
