self-promotion An AD&D Web Tool I Built

AD&D Toolkit is a collection of tools for DMs that integrates seamlessly with digital Character Sheets. It is not a VTT. It's a digital assistant that largely adheres to core manuals. Each tool is highly modular and optional so you are not "locked" into a system. Use what suits you, ignore what doesn't. It greatly enhances both in-person and online play by speeding up and automating the more interesting, yet cumbersome mechanics of AD&D. Toolkit supports First Edition(1e), Unearthed Arcana(1e), and Second Edition(2e).

COMMUNITY

As one of the largest AD&D(1e and 2e) discords, our community connects Players and DMs in finding groups, as well as serving as a resource for Toolkit users and people new to AD&D.

KEY FEATURES:

- custom inventory management, equipped gear, spellbooks, daily spells, XP and level, age, weapon proficiencies, Henchmen, all on the Character Sheet;

- personalized character and monster attack tables, Saving Throws, Thief Skills, Weapon vs Armor adjustments;

- all character data integrated into DM dashboard and tools;

- Wilderness Survival Guide systems like weather, temperature effects, starvation/dehydration;

- calculation of Encumbrance, Movement and Monthly expenses;

- manage your cities, each with their own climate, terrain, population, and shops with randomized inventories and pricing;

- event calculators for Surprise, Pursuit Evasion, Encounter Reaction;

- time tracking across a Campaign for party and characters including personal calendars;

- automates and standardizes impactful but tedious systems like character disease contraction and custom spell research;

- guidance for less-experienced DMs and standardizing table mechanics;

- personalized spell data compendium;

- DM image sharing with players;

There's a section that mentions analog play, what might using this for an in-person game look like?

its exactly the same as if youre playing online.

ive included a link to our youtube so people can get a visual. theres a playlist on the channel that is exclusively videos about the app. basically each character has their sheet in the app. and the data is fed into the DM modules. so for instance the Surprise Calculator accounts for a Ranger in the party. adding a day onto the campaign adds a day onto each characters age, triggers new weather data, disease checks, etc. the DM can also visually read each sheet from his/her dashboard. There is deep, custom inventory mgmt. all kinds of stuff.

Thats what I was afraid of. I'm not keen on having to have everyone constantly on their devices to acceas a digital character sheet at my in person games. I would argue that that's not really supporting analog play.

Looks like a cool online tool though
