Long time, no see...

[Arakor]

From the wild hinterlands of the UK, the sage Arakor has returned to the True20 fold after a two year absence.

I've been rereading the PDFs and I've gotten the buzz again. So much so that I've been tracking down replacements for the physical books that I sold off (long story but I was running low on space and money so my True20 books became casualties)

Anyway, I'm back and one of my first tasks will be to revisit my CharGen spreadsheet and update it.

Cue tumbleweed and blowing winds.

"Bueller? Bueller?? Anyone there??"

"Is this thing on?"

Don't take it personally, Arakor. The board is often quiet for several days at a time--the game just doesn't generate as much traffic as it used to.

Oh, I wasn't taking it personally ... Although I am curious as to the lack of traffic.
Has True20 had its day? Is it pretty much dead in the water?

Don't go sayin' that. Yeah, it lost it's buzz but I still think it's a kick ass system and I think it's magic system is the best of any d20 that I've read so far. I love PFRPG but I won't let go of True20.
So let's see that character generator! Make it easy and complete and maybe we can generate some buzz again. maybe a fan will put a new pdf out there or help a system that chose T20 become viable again.

True that ... it's just a bit disconcerting to see nothing about True 20 since last year.
That said, I'm running a Castles & Crusades campaign right now which I'm tinkering with. I'm generating True20 equivalents of the characters and seeing how they stack up - eventually I plan to switch the campaign over to True 20.

Version 3 of the CharGen is going to be a massive re-write from the ground up. I'm hoping to turn it into a proper Windows or Java application that will generate an XML output which people can then create their own XSS files to format the printout.

GR is not currently supporting the system, but the fan base here remains True.

Personally, since finishing the web enhancements for Cults of Freeport and Buccaneers of Freeport, the only thing I've done with the system has been converting True20 Freeport: The Lost Island to v.3.5 for my new campaign. (That group's far more comfortable with v.3.5 than either True20 or 4E.)

However, I do still have a campaign idea or two percolating in the back of my head that might be a good enough fit with True20 to make the effort to persuade the group to try the system again. Most recently, I've been rereading the rules as research for designing a Freeport LARP; that kind of game requires an even more streamlined rules set, but True20 is a step in that direction.

Another absentee here. Three moves, a laptop, couple jobs, a dog, and a few other things later I've ambled back to this, picked up a PDF of the revised ruleset, and still have no local group. Ah well.
