Want a random character generator for your game?

If you publish an indie/small press RPG I'm happy to do one for you in exchange for a (physical & pdf) copy of your game for my collection. Yep, that's it. Each one usually takes about a week(ish), depending on system complexity (and my workload). Feel free to hit me up on socials or via chris@exploredungeons.com to discuss.

Geek stuff: This site runs on Azure, using ~3000 lines of C# / Blazor (Razor pages running in a WebAssembly). The developer runs purely on caffeine. If you really like what I'm doing, you can always buy me a or two.

 

History stuff: This project was initially created as a random character generator for Barbarians of the Ruined Earth (created by my amigo Mike Evans.) After I finished that one, a few people asked if I would be willing to create generators for their games. Originally the site was called The RollerUpper which I admit is a truly horrible name, but it was all I could think of at the time. A couple years later I rebranded it as The Character Nexus and here we are.
