New Tool: Weapon Builder

While we were in the midst of a playtest campaign, one of my playtest players built a weapon creation tool in Google Docs. I thought it was pretty neat, and I wanted to include something like it on this new website.

One of the most important attributes of including such a tool on this website, in my mind, was that it wouldn’t require you to copy a Google Doc to your own private space. You should be able to pull it up on a phone or a computer, and just use it instantly.

Well, after a day or two of learning some basic Javascript and dusting off my ancient HTML skills, I’ve created just such a tool! It’s now listed in the “Useful Tools” sidebar. Or you can check it out here!

At present, it’s not terribly pretty, and there are some additional features I’d like to include in it eventually. But even in its current state, it’s something I think players and GMs will find useful.
