Video ExampleStill working out some bugs and need to add some more treasure hoard stuff, but pretty much done. Should be finished by the end of next week. Maybe sooner if I actually apply myself.
P.S.: You might need to go to full screen to read some of it, there was a great deal of Res-Loss when I uploaded it to YouTube.

Ah, its nothing particularly amazing. You click a button and it randomly generates an adventure It can also be used to generate random treasure hoards, magical items, critical hits (as per the original Rifts: Main Book) and a few other things, names, etc. All customized for Rifts. For Example...
or...
All with an easy click, it can also randomly generate Dimensions the same way, for example...
The last one is essential when playing with Dragons and Shifters who can just blink around, saves me so much time.

I might have got a little distracted and been disheartened because of the lack of interest.
I have enough up and running for my own stuff, but some of it needs to be touched up for other folks. In my spare time I've been statting out the A to Z of cryptozoology instead of doing data entry.

Sure thing man. I edited a bunch of the code last night to make it simpler. I'd made part of it while I was still learning and it "worked" but it was cumbersome. Now its simpler so it should be easier for folks to add more if they choose. However, with the thousands (possibly even 100,000 or more) different variations possible I don't think there is much need to add more to it honestly.
This afternoon I am going to see Captain America: Winter Soldier with some pals, when I get back I'll get back to it and finish it ASAP. I should probably call Kevin though to find out what I can release and what I can't. I mean "technically" if you pull it apart you
could reverse engineer a bunch of "official" Palladium charts and tables and that might be a copyright violation.
That said, the adventurer generator should be good though, I can't see why he'd have a problem with that. Oh, and so you know the "Random Magical Item" generator will be practically useless (unless/until?) they print my manuscript because I don't have the power's ability show up on the item when they're generated, just their names and the items statistics.
For Example:

I am so sorry, I feel like a total ass. However, I have not heard from Kevin as to whether or not I am allowed to distribute it yet. So, I can't.

I guess I will just have to make my own. I have the tools, I have (some of) the knowledge, I think I got this!
