Rolemaster

       



Hello

I don't know why, but I haven't had much luck finding webpages for RoleMaster. Compared to the huge amount of Shadowrun Pages it's sad that you can only find about 10 pages that are worth visiting. Here I'm trying to add a few lines of RoleMaster related information and links.
I'm currently writing on a small program that's supposed to help you create a Character for Rolemaster. Like my CyberDeckGenerator for ShadowRun it's a DOS application and lacks lots of the neat features that other generators offer - but it does everything I need for our group so it's perfect.
There already exist a few good generators for RoleMaster and most of them are probably better than mine - but...
If you want to look at a preview of this program then get it here: RoleMasterTool v0.94.

I've also written a VESA (640x480) version that only needs one page to display the whole character. I could do it in 80x50 textmode but... I guess I'm just weird. I'm not sure how to handle the weapon and other special skills such as music instruments and stalk/hide - I also don't know how to handle the development point costs because you can't just calculate the amount of costs by counting the skillranks. Maybe I should implement a function that'll save the raises for each level ? I also ponder about how to sort the skills - should I include all skills in the database and just sort them by companion/book they appear in, by alphabet or something else ?
If you know how to improve my program then please email me.. you know my email address.

I just wanted to add the skillcosts for other professions (included are only a few out of the huge amount of available professions) but one of the ppl I play with have my Companion II which has allmost all costs for secondary skills. Life sucks :o)


Of coz this wouldn't be a complete page w/o a few links. Unfortunately there aren't many good ones. If you own a RoleMaster page and want me to include a link to it, then just send me an email.
