Hi all. I coded up the Salisbury family history tables from 5th edition with Python, so that I wouldn't have to go through the whole thing with my players. Of course, being stupid, I did this work the day AFTER making like almost all the characters. But hey, maybe someone else will find a use for it.

I will send it to our more web-savvy companion, Jesper, to see if he is willing to make it into a web app for the ease of use. But if some of you guys wish to have the python code to run it yourself, drop me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you.

I did notice that in order for the character to be 21 years old at 485, I'd have to make him born in 464, instead of 465 as claimed by the book. On the other hand, I guess you could claim that the characters are actually 20 at the start of the campaign, and thus are knighted a bit ahead of schedule. In any way, that just shifts the age a year in either direction, so no biggie.


An example print-out:

Salisbury Family history from 410 to 485

< Year to year content redacted >

Summary:
Great-grandfather: Died prior to 439. Glory at Death: 1200
Grandfather: Died 463 . Glory at Death: 1683
Father: Died 473 . Glory at Death: 1629

That is awesome. Thanks, so much. Let's please find a way to get this online, by all means.


Best,


T.

we also can add 496-510 in the book of knights and ladies i think.

And up till 531 from 4th..

Did this ever get posted anywhere?

Last I heard, Jesper and Stewart were trying to make it available on the Nocturnal webpages, but I couldn't see it there now. I haven't heard anything in a while, so maybe they have just been too busy to finish it.
