This is just a little script I threw together for a new game I'm starting. It simplifies adding new characters for new players. I know there are a few others out there, this one just works the way I wanted. =D When a new player joins, it creates them a character and sends them a message:
Existing players that join get a list of their existing characters:
The Green + adds a new character.
Note that nothing shows up for players that are GMs.
Script:
