PySoulforge (or just Soulforge) is a python/wxwidgets application to manage character sheets for White Wolf’s pen-and-paper role-playing game, Vampire: The Masquerade.
Right now, the program is extremely pre-alpha. It barely functions, doing just sheet editing, loading, saving, and die rolling. It works fine on Linux since I do all my development there, but on windows it looks like crap, some of the controls don’t work correctly yet, etc. Just one of the many things I need to iron out.
I’m just releasing it as-is at the moment to show that I have at least something working – a “tech demo”, if you will. Don’t expect it to work correctly yet though – there’s absolutely no error handling or extensibility at the moment.

Install python 2.4+, wxWindows 2.6+, and wxPython, and download the source and run soulforge.py.
