Metacreator

[Dredj]

Does anyone own or tried out the Metacreator for CoC? I would like to know if it's a worthwhile buy.

Have no idea, but it looks like they have a demo you can try out?

SGL.

Looks pretty useful, and it runs on Linux as well (under Wine). If they made one for BRP I'd probably be interested.

Are there any other useful tools out there? I've got the BRP character Generator but haven't played much with it yet.

There's a BRP character generator? Does it make monsters and NPCs on the fly, too?

I only found it yesterday (thank you link page!) and haven't given it a proper look yet. It looks more like an NPC creator from my first brief look. You can add new races, so I presume it can do monsters too. Perhaps not the really weird though.

Get it (and a CoC sibling) here;

Is there a page for it in English? I'm a mono-linguistic Yankee.

The Union Jack link might be a clue there

Thank you for pointing that out. I guess they couldn't have made it more obvious

An American flag perhaps?

My memory from using it last year on a PC was that it could create PC's and NPC's. for pretty much any race (icluding custom ones) - someone urgently needs to port it to a platform independent format like Java, or I'm going to have to look in to one of the emulatino / virtual machine options for running Windows XP on my iMac, as it was very useful when I was running RQIII last spring / summer.
