[BNW] BNW Character Generator finally on the Web!

["James Cook" <jcook@net-serv.com>]

Greetings,

After many trials and tribulations, the Brave New World Character Generator
is finally available for download, at my hastily thrown together website:

http://members.xoom.com/pegcgs/index.htm

Please note that in order for the software to run you must have the
Microsoft Data Access Components version 2.1 or higher installed. Windows 95
users will also need DCOM95. The install files for both of these bloated
Microsoft components are on the site, under the "Support Files" link. I
recommend installing MDAC, then the software. If you need DCOM, install it
before either of the others.

Before anyone asks, you will not need to re-download or install either of
these things again for future upgrades.

As for the site itself, don't laugh too hard. It was a 10 minute job late
last night. I'll be doing some serious design work to clean it up soon, but
you folks have been waiting long enough for this thing as it is. What's it
got you ask? Well, it allows you to create characters based on info in the
main rulebook and "Ravaged Planet". "Defiants" isn't in simply because I
don't have a copy yet. As soon as I get access to it, I'll get the stuff in.

By popular demand (from my Deadlands and HOE CG fans), the BNWCG includes a
database editor, so that you can add your own skills, powers, packages,
whatever. Also included is the ability to save and print characters to one
of two different PDF character sheets. Both sheets are updatable, so you can
update and re-print them as you like.

Hope you all enjoy this little toy. As always, feel free to pass on any
questions or comments to me.

Keep those Primers off your back!

James Cook
