GM Software Tool Beta Testers wanted! | Thread profile

I have been hard at work trying to produce a GM tool to assist in simulating the 'dice rolling' skills, such as computer hacking. Often these types of skill turn into hit or miss rolling session, until either the GM gives in or has you killed. So I have written up a VB app to deal with just this issue. I call the program System Hack and it is the first of what I hope to be many small ...

How does this work exactly? Is it a program the GM runs, or something the player tries to get through? I run a Buffy game so Computer Hacking does come up from time to time. If it's something that would add to it I'd be glad to help out.

The app is pretty simple, the GM opens the software and enters in the Username and Password and the needed difficulty (e.g., so like in Star Wars if the difficulty for the task was 15 or higher then you would put 15 in), then hits the save button. The when the Player is ready to attempt to hack the system he/she will enter in their total skill + roll + mods and it comes up to a port scanner ...
