NPC Generator Revision History

In general, I have made an effort to take into account the effect of items that are 'always on'. These have been marked with an apostrophe.

If the generator is not working for you, please make sure that you have javascript enabled.

Please mail comments/suggestions to birched [at] hailscape [dot] com.


October 24, 2006
- There is a discussion at a thread on the wotc forums for suggestions and comments as I consider the form a 3.5 generator will take.
October 22, 2006
- Fixed bug where the generator did not function if 'www.' was omitted from the url.
October 21, 2006
- The pages are now strictly XHTML compliant.
October 19, 2006
- Numerous changes to the implementation of the web page, and very few to the script.  Got rid of frames, which the google search engine was completely ignoring.  Also, have been thinking about doing a 3.5 generator again, and wanted to see where things stood.
- I also reset the logs.
August 31, 2006
- Changed site hosts and the scripts were encountering some difficulties.  Most things seem to be working fine now.  Please report problems to the email address on the page, and I'll try to deal with them in a timely manner.
March 18, 2006
- FYI: I'm playing with google ads as a way to generate revenue to keep this site up.  Total donations in the past 2 years : $0.  Total promised revenue from google ads over 3.5 months : app. $8.  A big thank you still to the 7 contributors that helped early on to get this site of the ground, to the tune of $86 between August 2003 and January 2004.
- WTOC has apparently deleted some old threads.  The google cache for the most recent discussion thread for this generator can be found here.
March 29, 2005
- Fixed maintenance scripts and added public link to check site usage.
March 27, 2005
- Moved site to http://www.hailscape.com pending a server change expected during the summer (so, lots of warning).
May 11, 2004
- Fixed link to 'explanation of terms'.
May 10, 2004
- Fixed some problems due to a change in the host set up.  Let me know if there are problems.
- Changed the version number to 1.0.  People have reported very few problems, and it seems to run pretty smoothly.  Also, if I make changes, it'll be a new version for 3.5.
Aug 16, 2003
- WOTC hasn't extended any help, so I'm appealing to whoever finds this site useful.
Added a link at the bottom of the page to make a donation through paypal of any amount to whatever materials
you choose for the purposes of updating or extending this program.
