Hey WordUp, I'm Matt aka "The Computer" (apparently). The database is based on a program written by Nat Tuck for The Calling a number of years ago. Games that have used this system include The Calling, Mirror Mirror, Lost Eidolons, Requiem, and Clockwork Skies. It handles character generation, histories, event registration, PELs, and a few other things. We like this system because it lets us get statistics on the player base at will.
Right now, we're working on an overhaul of the code base because the original system was written close to ten years ago and needs a good deal of improvements to get rid of all the spaghetti code. I hope to have it up and running soon. Wanted to have it running a few weeks ago, but that is what it is.
If you want to post your Excel sheet up, I'm sure it will help people prototype their characters, but we will require PCs to have their character entered in the database system for the game.
