roll-for-initiative

A simple initiative tracker for DnD

Site: mattkatt.github.io/roll-for-initiative Current Version - v1.1

Mission

To create an easy-to-use mobile-based initiative tracker for DnD/d20 games - intention is to create something "faster than paper". Potential in future to add additional features, but initial goal is to keep it simple.

As a DM, I already find myself using modern technology more and more while running games - to keep notes, hold stats, play music, etc; a single tablet is already far easier to carry than a Players Handbook, DMG and Monster Manual, not to mention any other books needed to run a particular session.

Initial features

• Allow user to quickly create actors with stats and add them to the initiative tracker
• Roll for Initiative: a single button that rolls the initiative for all 'monster/npc' characters, and prompts for player's results, ordering the tracker based on those results (with tie-breakers/grouping similar results)
• Ability to drag-and-drop in new actors into an active tracker and have their initiative included

@todo

• Initial app setup and layout
• Add and destroy actors with minimal settings (name, initiative bonus, npc/character)
• Move actors from tracker to a holding 'drawer'
• Save current state in localStorage
• Roll initiative for actors on button click
• Order initiative list based on results
• Prompt for player initiative rolls
• Allow for tie-breakers
• github.io page
• PWA for download to device

Added features

• Allow user to roll initiative for characters

• Allow user to select tie-breaker rules
