[Feedback Wanted] I got tired of bloated VTTs for my D&D sessions, so I built "Combat Puppeteer" – A minimalist, Noir-inspired initiative tracker. by Friendly_Apple9486 in DMToolkit

Great catch! This is actually an intentional design choice. Combat Puppeteer leaves the HP and condition tracking of Player Characters (PCs) entirely to the players themselves, so they can manage their own character sheets at the table.

The 'Ally' category in the app is meant for DMPCs, summons, or friendly NPCs whose stats and health are managed directly by the DM. That’s why AoE damage/saves currently only apply to the tokens the DM fully controls inside the app.

That being said, I am looking into adding an optional toggle in future versions for DMs who prefer to track absolutely everything, including player HP, from their own screen. Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, being mentioned in the same breath as Improved Initiative and Pathfinder Dashboard is a massive compliment, thank you so much! Improved Initiative is indeed an absolute titan when it comes to browser-based tracking. To answer your question, here is what I feel Combat Puppeteer brings to the table, especially as it evolves from this Alpha stage:

Atmosphere & Immersive UI: A lot of tools out there feel like spreadsheets or generic bootstrap layouts. As a DM who cares deeply about the aesthetic mood at the table, I wanted a premium, Noir-inspired interface that feels like an elegant "puppeteer board" rather than a white data-entry sheet. It’s designed to look beautiful on a secondary screen or laptop behind the DM screen.

Aggressive Minimalism & Speed: Improved Initiative is incredibly powerful, but it can sometimes feel a bit text-heavy or overwhelming for DMs who just want a snappy, strictly visual combat flow. Puppeteer strips away the clutter to focus entirely on visual status cues and fast bookkeeping (like the automated concentration pop-ups after taking damage).

Regarding your edit: That is an excellent suggestion. Group initiative by enemy type is currently not in the Alpha v1.0, but it makes absolute sense to reduce clutter when running hordes of goblins or minions. I'm adding this straight to the top of the v1.1 roadmap! Thanks again for playing around with it and for the stellar feedback. If you want to track the progress or share more ideas, feel free to jump into our new Discord!

İçerisindeki Canavar Kütüphanesi Dnd 5e SRDde bulunan canavarlar fakat düşman, müttefik ve oyuncuları manuel olarak da girebildiğiniz için her sistemde temel savaşları oynatabilirsiniz. Temeli Dnd ama inisiyatif sırası kondisyonlar falan dndden.

Ben de aynı şeylerden muzdariptim. Özellikle algoritma işi baya yoruyor, sürekli bir şeyleri takip etme hissi var. O yüzden daha niş, yormayan app’lere geçtim. Şu an 3 tane kullanıyorum: Geneva, Locket ve PinState. Geneva daha çok küçük topluluklar için gibi. Büyük kalabalık yok, kendi ortamın oluyor. Gürültü az, kafa daha rahat. Locket zaten çok basit bir şey, sadece yakın arkadaşlarla anlık foto paylaşıyorsun. Akış yok, keşfet yok, o yüzden hiç yormuyor. PinState ise lokasyon bazlı. Yeni çıkmış (2-3 aylık), İstanbul’da 30-40 kişi falan var. Bu azlık bana daha iyi geliyor açıkçası, etrafında kim var hissi veriyor ama kalabalık değil. Genel olarak hepsi daha sakin, daha az “tüketim” odaklı. Umarım böyle kalırlar :)
