Solar System Generator v1.0

In short, an automated version of this amazing resource. Utterly stellar research has gone into making the Astrometrics Guide to Exoplanets, and I hope I've done it justice in automating it here. Enjoy!

Scrambled Race Table

Let the record show: This was a poor idea to begin with and I was pressured into posting it.

It's got... stuff from... just about everywhere? There are duplicates, but not quite, and some are objectively better than others. Luckily, this is OSR, so the players that roll well will die pretty much exactly as fast, on average, as everyone else. Hurrah for statistics!

I refuse, on morale grounds, to fix the above problem. You can though! Just grab the stuff under the break, make the obvious and needful changes, then run it through this here doohickey. It's what I would do! But I'm not going to. For reasons.

Statistically, you're not gonna look as dope as this guy. No harm in trying though! Credit Jue "Leo" Li

ASCII Dungeon Generator

If you were wondering if you have seen this before, very briefly, you are not correct. I did not panic when it didn't work in the blog as it did in testing, and did not delete the whole thing and storm off in disgust.

Ahem.

Anyway, this 'ere doohickey doesn't work in the slightest. But it might! Soon even! But probably not for a while, because I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

You can download a functional version right here though. Screw Blogger and it's crummy implementation of my hack-job!

EDIT: IT LIVES. Just don't increase the size beyond five. Hopefully I'll find away around that limitation soon...

Automatic List to HTML Translator - Version 2

Update: Version 3 is now live, has fewer bugs (???) and greatly improved syntax

NEW FEATURES

  • Multiple tables in one
  • Nested sub-tables
  • Variable spacing
  • Sample outputs for instant feedback
  • Bugs
  • Terrible syntax
If you liked the first one for it's simplicity and ease of use... keep using it. Version 2 has a quite a bit more functionality, but has sadly become a little cluttered in the process. To assist with that, you can see a randomly selected sample of the generator produced each time it is remade. It also has nested sub-tables, but those are a whole new kettle of fish. I've included an example in the default text of the generator, my best advice would be to look at that and play around with it.

A few pointers:

Firstly - The first line in each table is the "title" of that table, not one of the entries. This is a departure from version 1, but should be relatively intuitive.

Secondly - To start a second table, leave a blank line then continue. It may be easy to think of each table in the generator as a different "paragraph", and format the same way. If you do not want for a table to have a title for any reason, you can use two blank lines.

Thirdly - Each time the Codify button is pressed, the code will gain a new random tag, and produce a different sample output. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, this sample does not correctly parse the nested sub-tables. You'll have to download and open the generator in a browser to see those in action.

Fourthly - You can produce different types of generator by adjusting the number of "breaks between outputs". For example:

Zero breaks (for/from Sheep and Sorcery)




Two breaks (from here)




Without further ado, the Automatic List Generator Mark Two! As always, no refunds. Let me know if you've used it for anything! I'm lowering the XP bounty to 20 for this one, since there are likely to be dozens of bugs.




Breaks between outputs (between 0 and 5):
- - - Sample output - - -



- - - Code Blob - - -
