Character backgrounds - I'll admit that I am shamelessly "borrowing" this from another game although I can't think which one it is (although it's very likely that it's Cyberpunk 2020) as well as from the careers of Dark Conspiracy.

Grew up in a loose collection of people who were always travelling (think Gypsies). The Stats & Skills for this background focus on self-reliance like the Survivalist but with less militant influence and a stronger emphasis on the more social aspects of the "Travelling" life as well as some of the minor criminal aspects (e.g. petty theft, handling of stolen goods, illegal brewing of alcohol and "medicines")

I love both of those (I'd previously thought about a 'Military Brat' background myself). I'll add them both to the mix!

Hi All,

Quick update. I've not abandoned this project, not at all. At the moment my free time has been spent on the site itself (getting it to a point that I can take advantage of the new template design - which I hope you will agree is a bit more 'rock & roll' than the previous two) and 'spit-balling' ideas for the character development part of Character Gen (my wife seems to like it as as she actively plays more RPGs than I do at the mo, I take it as a good thing )

Hope to have my core concepts on 'paper' by the week's end (NZ time).

Marcus

P.S. I'm also working on a few articles for The Dark Times fanzine - I hope you are too!

Keep it going Marcus, looks good thus far.

Looking for inspiration for an article or two myself, as well as edit and payout practise!

For those of you follow me on Facebook will know that I got sidetracked over the weekend with another project. Apologies for this and I hope to be back to this by the end of the week!

FYI - if you're interested, my efforts over the long weekend were focused on a sci-fi game call Reign of Discordia (in addition to an article or two for Lee's Dark Times magazine!). For Reign, I wrote 50,000 odd words for it back in 2012/13 but (as seems to be my curse) it never went anywhere (this time not *only* due to my focus or lack of it). Over the weekend Darrin Drader, the IP owner, released the background for anyone to use - http://darrindrader.com/index.php/reign-of-discordia/ - and so I put some effort in pairing down the 50k words to 12k of mechanics only (Savage Worlds). Where or how I'll release this? Not sure...
