GM Computer aids
Hey guys,
I'm new here, a few buddies and I recently picked up a dog-eared copy of Twilight 2000 2.0 and a couple modules from Half-Price books; the setting and concept is a blast, but it's a helluva lot of rules to get your head around! I'm the defacto GM for this game and I'm trying to figure things out. I think I've got a handle on the meta-travelling/foraging/fuel rules, but handling encounters still eludes me. I've rolled up some random encounters, and seem to have that figured out, but it seems the workload in prepping 30+ NPC sheets in pretty high.
Over the years, has anyone developed any excel-based tools for making generating encounters and bookeeping easier? I was surprised an internet search couldn't even turn up a character generator. It would seem that building a tool that would let you input the parameters for your encounter and *poof* it outputs printable NPC tables, complete with heavy weapons, etc. where appropriate would be pretty feasible (though beyond my ability). Does anyone have anything built they might be willing to share with a new player that would make my learning curve a bit easier?
Thanks,
Brandon
