In my campaign world, the…
| northern humans | …dress… | in standard medieval garb |
| southern humans | all Renfest: the guys wear doublets and rapiers and the girls wear bodices and tricorn hats | |
| elves | like Mad Max: one shoulderpad each, and 1 in 10 guys wears a jeweler’s loupe | |
| dwarves | like French aristocrats: white wigs, cravats, beauty marks | |
| orcs | in Victorian/steampunk garb | |
| goblins | for the Arctic regions, but for some reason they all wear midriff-exposing furs and chainmail bikinis | |
| gnolls | like I Dream of Jeannie | |
| mermen | all sword-and-sandal | |
| gods/angels | in loincloths and tattoos, and use blood used as facepaint | |
| demons | like various incarnations of David Bowie |
How did you make that? Ajax? Is that your job?
“demons : like various incarnations of David Bowie”
Sounds about right.
You got it, Noumenon, I’m a web programmer! This thing is mostly just the javascript randomizing function, no ajax. rand() has always been my favorite function in any programming language.
“Demons dress like French aristocrats: white wigs, cravats, beauty marks.”
I suspected as much.
Excellent!
Mermen are astronauts and mermaids grant wishes? I can work with that?
I dig it! Dwarves dressing like “I Dream of Jeannie” is priceless–because I assume they’re still hirsute as an orangutan on Rogaine.
Very cool man, very very cool.
Heh. Love it. Lots of fun.
It’s not the randomizing, it’s the shuffling right there on the page with no reload that impressed me. What is that called? Is it an HTML 5 thing?
You won’t be impressed if you look at the javascript. It’s just randomly swapping the contents of table cells every tenth of a second or so, to give the illusion that it’s doing something more interesting.
If I were to do a version 2, I’d have 20 or so more clothing options in hidden cells so that reloads got you a little novelty. But the 20 extra options would probably just be different ways to dress like David Bowie.
Wow! You’ve saved me hours of campaign prep.
Love this! So what other clothing options can we come up with for v2.0?
Egyptian style linen skirts for all
Roman togas etc.
In elaborately feathered headdresses and animal skins
Nude but for a decorative gourd (men) or grass skirts (women)
Long caps that trail to the ground
Lots of jewelry and not much else
Recognizable bits of plants: bark, leaves, flowers…
Chinese-style clothes
Everything is leather, and clearly not plain brown cow leather
Cloth made of unusual materials
Most things are wool
Clever randomizer! I love the Mermen who dress like Mad Max. Whut?
