If you downloaded the app on its first day of release get a new copy.

I just uploaded a patch that fixed a bug that was doubling the chance of baldness with every character made...

The app now has an 'announcements' mailing list here:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/cyberpunklifepath/

Its a moderated list, meant soley to get people to contribute additions to the database and for me to announce bug fixes like this one over there in future rather than cluttering up assorted boards...

Just put out and up for download version 1.1

This versions adds 'secondary skills' and the ability to store in a buffer 3 past characters as well as recall the previously made character.

I love you arcady. this thing rocks. I'm especially entertained by the fashion and hair section. Gnude, lol. Light emitting, waist length afros...

I got a "Toy Bioroid" related result in the people section, however, oops. (using fantasy punk)

I doubt I would ever use something so random for a PC, but it certainly works for colourful on-the-spot NPCs.

That is how I intend to use it, myself.

Arcady, one more thing ... could you please

- add a possibility to roll up specific professions?
- put in major skills depending on profession?

thanks in advance an in general for making this thing and making it publically available. Great tool.

Arcady: finally got my MJLBB back. It contains a full page of personality features, quirks and other stuff. I'll just list them, I hope you'll find some of them useful. They're unsorted.

I just uploaded a version 1.2.


1.2 change is to allow the amount of cyberware to be cusomized for each genre. In addition I have added a button to recall the current PC, so that you do not have to 'store' it before looking back. A few very minor additions were also made to the data.

Its an old thread - but the generator has been updated.

Version 1.3 now includes the ability to take a character out of action for a period of time, such as having been locked in prison, renditioned, in a coma, or some other such item.
