www.heromachine.com/This is supposed to be a character portrait generator. According to their site, even if you have no art skills you can easily create a perfect picture of the character you have in your mind. Unfortunately, it costs $19.95 to download. For an additional $5, you can download it and get it on CD. I'm trying to find out if anybody on the Fraternity of Shadows board has tried this program and can provide feedback on it. If anybody who goes to the WotC boards more frequently than I wants to ask around there, that might be cool too. If this turns out to be as good as they claim, it might be worth a few of us pitching in together to buy the CD. I for one know I'd like to be able to show pictures of the PCs and NPCs I come up with.

I found a place where you can tinker with the program for free. I'm sure the paid version has a lot more options, but this is still pretty good for a free program: www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heroMachine2/heromachine2.aspNote: to save your character as a picture on your computer, you need to screen capture it and paste it into Paint or a similar program. To do this, you press Print Screen, then open up Paint and go to Edit and Paste.

This thing is TOO cool. I only wish I had the money to get all the most cool options...

I made a couple characters, including three NPCs from my Star Wars game. I'll post them here eventually I suppose. What's the best free image hosting site you know of? I only know photobucket.com but I've heard there's better.

I'm using www.villagephotos.com/ for this board and they work about 90% of the time. Occasionally they will go down for a bit but they are pretty reliable.

Cool, thanks. I signed up there, so I'm putting my images up in the Star Wars board.

Alright I got Hero Machine, and I'll throw it on my flash stick to pass around next time I see everyone.

Somebody on the FoS site gave me a link to a BitTorrent site with the program for download. I downloaded the file but unfortunately I don't have the program and it's not working for me. but if you've got the program it doesn't really matter.

Ah yeah I didn't even think of Torrent, but yeah I have it and it works fine.
