Hmmm... Over a year since my last update on here? I haven't been idle (although I have been working abroad, which seriously crimps gaming, writing, and web design time!), so the eagle-eyed might have noticed the Forest continues to grow slowly. In addition to some cosmetic and behind-the-scenes changes (that no-one but me will ever appreciate...), I have been tinkering with some new applications, one of which, a Rank Equivalence Calculator (
http://cobwebbedforest.co.uk/workshop/RankEquiv.php), is even ready to publish! Huzzah!
This app calculates the rank of knight required to win at least 50% of combats with an enemy with the combat characteristics you enter in the glamorous form. It's currently very basic, but I am going to grow the functionality and options as time allows, so check it out and feed back any suggestions for improvement.
Being away from my books, I've not had a chance to run some canon creatures through it, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are wildly out - when DW was written, Dave and Oliver didn't have the benefit of staggering computing power at their fingertips (just squishy grey stuff pulsating between their ears, a poor substitute at best
).
Hopefully, like other applications in the Cobwebbed Forest, this application will help us all to run better games
