About the Cradle of Heroes

The Cradle of Heroes is a fan created gaming tool that I developed to meet my needs as a GM and player. It's designed so that anyone can create and manage characters and creatures and to simplify the character creation process.

Tutorial videos are available on my YouTube channel.

The Cradle is also about community and I hope it can grow to become an informal marketplace for NPCs, creatures and ideas for Runequest.

Characters can also be added to the open roster by selecting the "Open" check-box when you are creating or editing the character. Characters can then be copied and modified by other users, making their lives easier and letting them take advantage of your work and creativity.

As more users share content in this way, it becomes easier for new and more experienced players to quickly and easily build high quality character for their Runequest games. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the app.

Note that any uploaded content, images or text on the site should respect the rights of the creators. Images, for example, should be designs that you've created, obtained permission to use or are marked available for use or reuse in the creative commons.

I've created a Trello board to help manage feedback and updates. Please note that this iteration of the app is still in BETA phase. There will be bugs and while I'll make every effort to keep and persist all user-generated content, it may not always be possible. If anyone wants to help make the app better, the code is up on GitHub. Any suggestions or improvements (especially to front-end JS) are very welcome.
