So it is an application and not an excel spreadsheet?

Yes, it's a Java application. It's like GCA, except open source and portable.

Thanks. I wondered what it was written in. :)

Side note: later versions of Excel are quite capable of creating a spreadsheet that imports XML files into one sheet so the rest of the file can work with them.

It's a little baroque though.

I'm new to GCS usage, so I'm not sure where to ask this. I'm starting up a DF game and want to point my players to it. Most have no GURPS experience so I'd like to just have them load the DFRPG portions of GCS. To that end, since all the Profession templates and Pregens mention Quirks, would it be possible to add a Generic Quirk to the Quirks section of Advantages? I know that you can just add a new Advantage manually, but this way it would be easy for new players to drag it over to their character and just change the name.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this. And thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work. It's an awesome tool.

Most GMs are pretty free with quirks; take whatever 5 you want, with no need to pick from a limited list. So I would let players pick quirks from any gcs data file, not just the DFRPG ones, as long as they're not totally crazily out of genre. Or make up their own.

If your goal is just to avoid making them use multiple files, sure, you could just add more quirks to "Dungeon Fantasy RPG.adq", either the specific ones you want, or "Quirk 1" though "Quirk 5" and let them pencil them in.

By the way, the worst Quirk is "Incompetence: Stealth." Don't take that one unless you want to play DFRPG on hard mode.

That is pretty much what I was looking for. Was just hoping to get it in the official GCS Library so it wouldn't get over written when the players update their files, or install on a new system.

Thanks
