I hope to release it before the end of the year.

Free Dice Roller

Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:08:09 -0700

Created a free dice roller open to non registered users.

Roller works the same as the registered users dice roller on the character sheets. The main difference? Dice rolls persist only two weeks, maybe longer if you're lucky. I'd post your roll result and the link in the forum or online space where you are gaming.

Anyway enjoy the roller. As usual contact me if you are having trouble.

Game On!

Change in Character Permissions

Sun, 24 Oct 2010 12:50:15 -0700

I've updated the player character permissions: non-public characters can be viewed by players in your campaign.

Hopefully that will help in your set up of campaigns. In addition I've added an alias look up when inviting players to the campaign. Now you can invite by alias or email.

There were also some minor updates to the Gods and Monsters character sheet.

The next big project will be a friend/b...

New Character Sheets - Gods and Monsters and Freestyle

Fri, 08 Oct 2010 21:23:11 -0700

I've created two new character sheets this week and added one new game.

Gods and Monsters was added to the site and a custom character sheet was created. If you've never heard of Gods and Monsters you should check it out. Written by Jerry Stratton, the rules are published in full online. It's not another retro clone. The rules and system are unique but patterned after the most popular RPG of all...

Campaign Tools Coming To Charactersheet

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 19:50:46 -0700

The next big thing for character sheet is campaign management tools. Invite other players to your campaign. Accept or reject characters from your players. Post an advertisement on the site that your campaign needs players.

I hope to finish the work and release these tools sometime in October.

New Site Design and UI

Sat, 18 Sep 2010 13:52:41 -0700

You've probably noticed that the site has had a complete makeover. The new site design is finally up and running. Checkout the character sheets. There is still plenty more to do and work on but the hefty UI work is complete. I'm hoping from here on out site improvements will happen more often and not be so spread apart.

If you find problems please report them through the contact form. Thanks!

New Site Design

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 16:00:37 -0700

I've been busy of late working on my personal blog Cave of Chaos. I'm pretty much done working on that now and have turned my attention back to the business of improving this site.

When I launched the site I did minimal work on the design and UI. I just got the application working. So the next release is focused primarily on it.

You'll still recognize the site. Some of the elements of the site ar...

Autocomplete for Saving Throws on AD&D Sheet

Wasn't planning on another release this weekend, but I finished this and wanted to push it so I can move on to bigger things.

So there is now autocomplete for saving throws on the AD&D character sheet. Pick lists support multi-class characters. You'll find the autocomplete for the class field now lists multi-class combinations. If you are multi-class and you have split levels just enter your le...

Autocomplete for Attributes on AD&D Sheet

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 17:28:47 -0700

This week I built autocomplete for the attributes on the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons sheet. No more looking up those adjustments in you book.

To use autocomplete put the cursor in the field, clear it if something is there or try hitting the down arrow. You'll see a little yellow box. Hit the down arrow and the field will populate. Hit tab and go to the next field. Go a head and give it a try.

I...

Site News and "Drop The Lowest"

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:17:52 -0700

It's been nearly three weeks since my last release. Released several things today including site news/content and improvements to the dice roller.

The dice roller can now take a string like "4d6x6s1". This is the classic roll for character attributes: roll 4d6 six times and for each roll drop the lowest die. Go try it in the roller.

There are a handful of minor things besides this but nothing wor...
