Birthright Campaign Manager

[Vicente]

Hi!

after several months of work, and a few weeks of testing by some people (thanks to everyone that helped :)), I present Birthright Campaign Manager (I am not very original with names :p), an open source tool for managing games of BR. This is the website:

http://brmanager.codeplex.com/

The website contains the current 1.0 download, and some documentation (the GM documentation is finished, I'm writing the Player documentation, although the tool is easy to use).

I have had a lot of fun writing this tool, and I will keep improving it in the following months. I hope it is something useful for the community, I am always surprised how such an old game can have such a great community, with so many people putting their time for it (like Arjan with the website, all the people that maintain the wiki,...), so I thought it was my time to give something to it too.

I am sure there will be bugs and issues with the tool, or feedback on how to improve it, feel free to leave those comments in the forums of the tool, or in here, I will monitor both places.

Regards!

Vicente

I forgot totally, it is recommended to check the tool documentation:

http://brmanager.codeplex.com/documentation

There you can see the state of the tool (current and planned features), and several guides. To start using the tool users should read the Game Master Guide as it explains some initial steps that have to be done to configure the tool for a new game. It can be also useful to check if you want to see how the tool looks and those things :)

Regards!

Hi Vicente,

I am glad you took the time to complete this and I have downloaded both the app and the source code.

For the time being, I'm mostly interested in seing it work and giving it a try; but having toyed with the idea at one point of doing such a project (which was dropped due to lack of time and technical knowledge... last time I programmed full time was back in 2003), I'm also interested in seeing how you have structured the database portion.

Hi!

thanks a lot for the kind words, it is appreciated :)

I'm attaching a diagram of the current DB, be warned the DB is pretty big (around 60 tables), so the diagram is a little messy, I have tried to order it as best as I can.

The tables called aspnet are related to security and users, you can ignore those.

Regards!
