Cheat Sheets in Javascript, Not OS specific Options

[bofh]

I see lots of dice rollers and character generators but no on the fly gaming tools. I use a Mac Powerbook when gaming and used the cheat sheets from the pavao.org site (big thanks there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). As I dissected the cheat sheets to understand the mechanics behind them, I started visualizing how I could get them working on the Mac.

The first ones were just direct creations. As I learned more, I added in the modifiers.

They are done in Javascript so you should just need a browser on your laptop in order to render them. I've run it on my Mac and on a couple of PCs without a problem. One of the folks in my game is using one of the Asus boxes and it works fine for him.

The javascript pages are at http://www.shadowrun.us/sr4/cheat

The index page gives some information on the pages. I've used them during games (the ones that are working) with success.

They're not pretty and they are the first step so they may be a little kludgie. I built them with the basic tests and then added modifiers. Once I'm sure they're working, I'll likely be making changes. I also make updates as I go along, discovering errors or misunderstandings on how I read things in the books.

I've tacked on page numbers in the sheets. It's made looking things up a lot easier. Ask my runners (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Comments and corrections can be either sent to me (carl (at) schelin (dot) org) or feel free to post them here.

Note: They're still a work in progress. If the link says "*beta*", it means I'm probably using them during the game so you can check it out for problems. I'm still working on the others so they may change quite a lot as I get them into shape.
