Hi everyone,

I've been tinkering away at a pretty, cloud-based character sheet for some time, and I think it's ready to be put through its paces:

http://charactersheet.co.uk

It's in open beta, so you might come across a bug or two, and it's only been properly tested on Chrome and Safari at the moment.

It's targeted mainly at tablets at the gaming table, and people from my group have in fact been using it on iPad and Android for about 6 months. It requires a modern browser, and either a Google or GitHub account (more login options to follow as desired), and is free to use.

Here are some of the features:

• Digital, enhanced version of the regular paper character sheet
  
• Cloud-based storage, access from any device
  
• Complete with all OGL spell descriptions right at your fingertips
  
• No assumptions; house-rules friendly
  
• Track prepared and cast spells and spell-likes
  
• Share a read-only statblock view with your GM or players
  
• Comment on the statblock
  
• Annotate feats, gear, and more
  

There's a GitHub page to track issues.

Let me know what you think!

Hi everyone,

For a few months now I've been working on an online character sheet app for the Pathfinder RPG. It's a rewrite of an earlier version I did a couple of years back and used at my own gaming table. This new version is made with modern front-end technologies, and should be scalable and fun.

Here are some of its features:

• Digital, enhanced version of the regular paper character sheet
  
• Cloud-based storage, access from any device
  
• Complete with all OGL spell descriptions right at your fingertips
  
• No assumptions; house-rules friendly
  
• Track prepared and cast spells and spell-likes
  
• Share a read-only statblock view with your GM or players
  
• Comment on the statblock
  
• Annotate feats, gear, and more

The app is aimed mainly at tablets at the gaming table, but works equally well on laptops, and, with a bit of squinting, smartphones.

I'm looking for a few beta testers, ideally with a little bit of technical knowledge. You'll need a GitHub account so that I can give you access to my issues tracker, and to use the app itself, you'll want either a GitHub or a Google account (Facebook, Twitter, and others to be added.)

So if you're interested, please send me an email at frank.reding+meocs@gmail.com with your GitHub username and email, and I'll add you as soon as I can (I'm UK based, so bear that in mind in my response times :).

See the app homepage for some screenshots.

Hey guys,

Thought you might interested to hear that Pathfinder featured heavily in the background of today's Loading, Ready, Run episode over at the Escapist. Looks like 3.5 has been well and truly dethroned as the game of choice for geek filmmakers. :)

Hi there,

Along with a few colleagues, we are planning on selling Pathfinder compatible adventures in the not too distant future. Now, our personal setting of choice is Golarion, which we can't refer to expressively in the products of course, according to the Pathfinder compatibility license.

My question is this: Let's say our adventure PDF is squeaky clean and makes no mention of Paizo IP, could we post an article for free on our website that explains how to integrate the adventure into Golarion?

So there's my solution to Paizo's quandary. :) I doubt offering two print versions will make much financial sense, but two PDFs (or one big one with both versions) should be doable. Especially since statting 4th Ed monster will take hardly any time at all apparently! :P

I thought I'd throw this out here...

I'm buying Pathfinder from my local gaming shop, which needs all the support it can get. Annoyingly, that means I get my copies later than online subscribers, but much worse, I don't get a PDF of it.

The PDF is extremely useful, especially for printing off player handouts and maps.

Now, I understand that having people subscribe directly from Paizo gives them a much better idea of popularity, and gives them a bigger share of the profit, and I'm all for that.

But I wish there were a way for people like me, who keep their local gaming store alive, to get a PDF version of Pathfinder too, without having to shell out twice, or least without having to shell out quite so much. I simply can't afford to buy the book locally, and then pay another $13.99 for the PDF.

Perhaps a unique code in the book could entitle one to the PDF, or a PDF for less?

There's not much in it for Paizo, other than a warm, fuzzy feeling on the inside, but you can't put a price on that! :)
