We’ve been working on a Pathfinder 2e Character Management App and I wanted to share the KickStarter we’re using to determine if it’s really worth doing.
As a group we’ve always found that the depth of customization in Pathfinder was one of the most amazing pieces of the game. It’s awesome to be able to customize your character to a deep level, especially when you’re not at the tabletop.
But at the tabletop, it’s awkward to have a 4+ page character sheet. Trying to find the thing you need when you need it, not to mention being able to accurately track things like conditions, buffs, debuffs, and bonuses can be … well… cumbersome.
Additionally, while the character sheets can accurately describe your character, what really makes your connection to your character work is having a great piece of art. The best way we know to do that kind of custom figure is using toy bricks. (Mostly because a couple of us worked as professional model builders for Lego way back in the day.)
So we set out to build an app that could do all of that.
We prototyped a bunch of the functionality with a web app. We’ve recently been creating the 3D assets for Unity so we can deploy an app that could be context aware of your play (are you in downtime / exploration / combat) and give you the options and data that makes the most sense to that sort of play situation. Additionally, the app can communicate with other players who are using the app in your party and share buffs, debuffs, and loot.
If you’d like to help bring this into the world, our KickStarter is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/criticalbrick/legendary-1
I'm happy to field any questions you'd have.
