So we were joking back and forth in IRC, pokemon came up, and we thought \u2018wouldn\u2019t it be neat to have a game with creatures from the channel.\u2019 So here\u2019s the deal: this here Google Docs form<\/a> will collect the stats on \u201cyour\u201d creature, based on your personal view of yourself along with one or two special attacks. Then, this CSV export<\/a> (in-browser view<\/a>) can be dynamically loaded by your game to populate it with monstrous versions of us. This is free to use for anyone to make their game that little bit more dynamic. Don\u2019t worry about being realistic, variance is good (and important). When using the data, you\u2019ll probably want to apply some noise to it and maybe even expand on the creatures procedurally, as there\u2019s not a lot of room for everyone to make something totally unique.<\/p>\n
