So, while my gaming group has been (relatively) quiet this month, I've been tinkering on a web app that would allow us to keep charsheets and other quick reference materials handy during and between games. Please excuse the nerding. It's extremely rough at the moment, but 'Farcaster' is now somewhat usable. Hurrah! At present, it only maintains information on Factions, Locations, Aptitudes and Skills, Traits, and Sleights. I'm currently working on Gear (including Morphs and Augmentations), then Character Sheets. Why start with the little bits and build up to the useful stuff? Once 'gear' and 'characters' are added to the app, the character sheets it displays will be able to give users quick, cross-referenced information about any of their traits. It'll also be possible to generate quick "cheat sheet" tables of skills for all the players and NPCs participating in a particular gaming session. The page for the 'Control' skill is a decent example of how the cross-referencing can work. Because of the relational model used to store all the data, it's easy to cross-reference all of the Sleights that require it, the Aptitude that it's linked to, and so on. Individual traits and pieces of gear can even trakc what books they originate from, making it possible to distinguish homebrew data from canon for a particular gaming group. Further updates as events warrant…
