This software is developed for the role-playing game Fading Suns 4E (4th Edition). If you are seeking the Fading Suns 3E (Revised Edition), please visit this link.
The default character sheet provided in the Player's Guide book is not favored by the developer, who has created a new version inspired by older sheets from previous editions of the game. Additionally, custom rules for random character generation have been incorporated, suitable for both player characters (PC) and non-player characters (NPC).
This software contains only the game rules and is intended to be used as a dependency within other applications; it cannot function as a standalone program. For a complete character generation tool, consider using Think Machine 4E: Advisor, an Android mobile application that offers comprehensive character creation features.
Below is a preview of the final character sheet design:

This tool allows you to generate random character sheets, which is particularly useful for creating non-player characters (NPCs). You can specify basic options such as nobility status, psi abilities, combat preferences, equipment, and more. The software will then produce a complete character sheet within seconds. Each generated character strictly adheres to the rules outlined in the Fading Suns core rulebook and can be used as a standard playable character. This feature aims to enhance your campaigns by adding variety and depth.
This application contains the logic for defining characters and NPCs using the Fading Suns victory point rule system. It does not include a user interface and, therefore, cannot be used as a standalone application. In the near future, new applications with user interfaces for different platforms will be released. These applications will be listed here:
- Think Machine 4E: Advisor is an Android application based on Java that integrates this library to create Player and Non-Player Characters (currently under development).
This software has been developed using the Librepdf library for generating PDFs.
