Subject: [DS] Computer assistance
While playtesting a Dirtside scenario a while back I wrote a computer program to roll dice, draw chits, and basically resolve the to-hit process. I was inspired by the chit-draw programs written by Yves and Thomas Heaney, but I wanted it to do more than just draw chits. I set it up where the user can pick the size and type of weapon, the firecon level, etc., and then the program will roll the appropriate dice and pick the correct number of chits and give a final result. I've only used it for solo playtests, but it's turned out to be really useful for speeding up a game. Anyway, I thought some other Dirtside players might be interested in trying it out so, with the permission of Jon T., I've set up a page where you can download the program:
