I am currently looking for Random Generators for Blades in the Dark to create Persons and Places.

1. I made one for a couple versions back (v6 or 7 I think?) on Google Docs. It includes people, places, and details from John’s excellent detail pages. Then a second page includes a “NPC Downtime Generator” which I found helpful for quickly generating NPC faction actions as well as for coming up with plenty of city news and rumors whenever needed.

   This is in the BitD community links called “NPC Generator (2)”

2. Hey, that’s my generator! 😀

3. Brent Newhall how did you do it? Is there an easy way for this?

4. Adam Minnie great! Gonna check it out!

5. Vincent Shine Oh, it’s just Javascript. Clicking the button calls a Javascript function that contains a bunch of arrays, one for clients, one for locations, one for troubles, etc. It picks a random item from each, builds the sentence, and adds it to a div on the page. There’s a little extra processing to handle a/an.

6. I really need to resurrect Omnihedron.

7. Yoink!

8. oh, like this thing I bookmarked for easy access randomblades.azurewebsites.net – Back

9. Mark Cleveland Massengale amazing. That should be on the community link list. Did you make it?

10. Mark Cleveland Massengale yeah great ressource. The only minor complaint would be that the People-category only has very few details. But other than that: Great!

11. Adam Minnie Vincent Shine glad you liked the generator. I will try to add the people tables if I find some free time (not in the near future 😞)

12. I agree Adam Minnie; it should be! But nope; I just bookmarked it a long time ago – and luckily David arrived to rightfully claim their work 🙂

    David Barrena Just a thought, since I too would be interested in updates to this tool, and since I am in a position to help: I will write them up. I work with html, xml, and php and could probably manage it – I’d need to see the format your site is expecting and I could probably handle it

13. Mark Cleveland Massengale thanks for the offer. The current pages are created with Ionic (a JavaScript framework) and deployed on an Azure app, but the code is really simple and repetitive. I’ll try to setup a github project to share the code I don’t currently have much time in my hands, but I will try to do it next week and let you know, so you can take a look.
