Beta Testing for the Monster Mixer
« on: December 07, 2012, 11:09:30 AM »
Hello, I am a member of TEKDice and we are working on a new tool called the Monster Mixer. If you want the long description click here.

The Monster Mixer will allow you to generate monsters/encounters and roll anything that you would need to roll for it (attack, fort save, etc.). Currently we only have 3.5e dnd monsters (MM1, because of the constraints the OGL puts on using content) in the database but if interest grows and we can continue working on it, we will add more monsters to the database, and we will be open to suggestions of what other versions/game system monsters we should add next (currently pathfinder is next up for being added). The main things we need help with right now are.

1. To find out how many people would be interested in the Monster Mixer

2. Beta testers so that we can work the kinks out of the system before we try to release it for real

So please let us know if you would be interested in the Monster Mixer, and sign up for our beta.

The beta will be going on in the first quarter of 2013, so this is just us sort of testing the waters and seeing if there is interest, and we will notify you when it is out if you sign up for the beta.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them here or send me a message, another member might also show up to help answer questions too. You can also look over the discussion on reddit by clicking here.

I've signed up for the beta test; are you going to give us a list of the stuff you want us to stress test?

The correct link is here.

I'd certainly be interested in such a program; I worked up something similar for personal use a while back, but it's nowhere near comprehensive and I'd love to let someone else do the work of loading more monsters in and fixing all the bugs. ;)

More information will be out when we actually release the beta, but the stress testing would probably be mostly for our servers.
