I have, in all my long days of being an upstanding nerd, played various roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, etc. I don’t play much these days, but a few times a year I’ll still crack open my favorite rules and play a Tunnels & Trolls solo adventure.
What could make this post even more nerdy? I could take the opportunity to polish up my feeble AJAX skills and write a T&T Character Creator. Nerdtastic.
Obviously I’m posting this mostly for my own use but if any other T&T players out there find it handy, that’s a bonus. There’s a surprisingly active community still producing content, including the author Ken St. Andre. I added support for two versions of the rules: version 5 (which was the first RPG I ever bought) and version 7.5.
If you’re doing something similar, I used the following tools:
- JQuery
- JQuery UI
- The TableSorter plugin
- Ajaxload for the loading icon
