I've put up a PDF file containing a life history generator oin my
page. It's similar to the Lifepath tables from Cyberpunk 2020, for
those familiar with that game, except oriented toward Shadowrun.

The file can be found at:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/pw/shadowrun.html

then scroll down to about halfway down the page

So far it's in Adobe PDF only, though I may put up other versions
(RTF, most likely) if I feel like saving the file in that format in the
near future ;)

As noted on the page, I see this as mainly an aid to new players
unfamiliar with Shadowrun and/or roleplaying; as such, I've also
put up a version in Dutch next to the English one, and I want to
add it in other languages too -- IMHO it's easier on new players if
they don't have to read things in a foreign language. If anyone
wants to help out by translating the file into another language,
please contact me by sending a private email to gurth@******.nl.

Feedback is also appreciated at that same address.

That's because I forgot to upload the file when I uploaded my
mail... It's been fixed now, so everybody who's interested can
take a look at the URL above.

Still not been there, but if I'll translate it, you have to post it on your
web site since I don't have one...
