Hi All,
I”m doing a learning project for a new (to me) framework and I decided to build a character generator based on the Cepheus Engine. I’ve spoken to Jason ‘Flynn’ Kemp and he’s fine with it (Yay!) so I’ll publish it when I’m done and the source code will be available on Github. That being said, I’m wondering what information folks keep up with after the character has been generated (besides money and gear). Stuff I’ve been tracking on some of my characters:
- Short summary of each adventure
- Allies and Enemies
- Any outstanding warrants for arrest (um, it really wasn’t my fault)
- Rumors
- Land, apartments, etc.
- Contacts
- Educational goals
- Major events in the gaming universe
In short, I try to track enough of the character’s history to be able to write short fiction from it for my own jollies.
I’m curious as to what others do because I’m thinking about building in a means to track the character history and make it searchable.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Chuck
