• Welcome to the new COTI server. We've moved the Citizens to a new server. Please let us know in the COTI Website issue forum if you find any problems.

On-Line Young Thug Generator (Prototype)

I've been experimenting with one simple, and one really simple, program for Traveller. You can see them here:

http://joshualevy.pythonanywhere.com

But it might be more interesting to hit this page directly:
http://joshualevy.pythonanywhere.com/yt?format=htmlPage
It will print out eight "young thugs" for GMs to use. These are the thugs hanging around bars, alleys, docks, crime scenes, etc. They are 16-22 years old (0 or 1 terms) and light on skills, but heavy on weapons!
More information here:

There is also this:
http://joshualevy.pythonanywhere.com/p/1000words/3?format=json
It will print out three words to use as a quick NPC personality.

Please send me a private message with any feedback you have, or discuss it here, if you prefer. I particularly want to make the "Young Thugs" more "role play ready" by giving them quirks, visual tics, or other things that make them more run to be in your game. If you have any suggestions in that area, I'd love to hear them. Also if you have lists of weapons, equipment, etc. that I can use, please send those also. The current lists are short, and need to be extended.

For personalities, I'm hoping to add something to generate Meyers-Briggs personalities for NPCs, maybe for July.

I'm planning on making improvements to this server all the time; at least once a month.

For the programmers out there:

This software uses this geek string :
python3 git bottle json yattag PythonAnywhere
which translates to this: "Developed in python3 with source code on git. The web server is based on the bottle framework, uses json for data transfer, and yattag to generate HTML pages. It is hosted on PythonAnywhere."

I do plan on making the source code available soon, but it is not quite ready yet.
