A tool built super quickly for my fellow OSR players. I sourced the equipment lists, along with their weights and costs, from the rulebook and used the BFRPG Equipment Emporium to fill in any missing weights.

Contributions are welcome!

Disclaimer I

This is an unofficial tool for "Swords and Wizardry" and is not endorsed by the game's publishers. All related trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Disclaimer II

This is a quick and dirty code; I spent only a little time making it "clean". You can read the sources at your own risk.

To see a better approach I took on a similar project, check out my other TTRPG helper and generator for the Lamentation of the Flame Princess system.

Features

• Random character generation (check TODO)
• Spell lists for casters. Magic Users get their spells randomly according to their Intelligence score
• Lists of equipment, weapons, and armor with weight and cost
• Inventory management, calculating total weight, cost, and speed
• Multiple inventories that can be renamed. For example: "Zsusza, the thief", "Zoltan, the mercenary", "Solomon, the donkey", etc.
• Quick equipment sets that can be selected to save time when generating a new character
• Saves inventory in the browser's local storage, meaning the selected items will persist after a page reload
• Displays help on encumbrance and speed
• Converts text (which can be copied from other sources) into equipment and adds it to the inventory
• Exports inventories as JSON, which can be manually added to the browser's storage (dev tools). I didn’t have time yet to write a more convenient import feature.
• Custom items
• Builds with WMR
