As a personal project, I'm starting work on an open-source character generator/editor, aimed at maximum customizability using XML. The general idea is you can create whatever class/feature/feat/spell, etc. and have the program calculate its effects on the character/creature.
Now, I have a few questions.
- Is there any source for open game content besides the SRD? Is there a way of telling if any of the content in my books is OGC? The reason for this question is, I will include a basic "pack" of XML data with the program, and I don't want any trouble with copyrights and such.
- Has this been done before? Am I just repeating work that has been already done? (note, this is not a normal character generator)
- Is this a good idea at all? :smallyuk:
Also, I don't know if this is the right forum for this thread, but it sounds like it would be.
