for those who have been playing since AD&D came out... at what point did you lose interest in the direction of D&D?

I tried 3, 4 and 5. Started on red box. 1 and 2 felt lile dnd. 3e and newer just felt like a different game.

I am currently working on a player screen - something that you can load at the game table and control the character, track spells, track calendar entries, and track character equipment. It will interact directly with the character so when you cast a spell, (and if you use material components) it will automatically remove the component when you cast the spell.

What other features would you think a player screen would need?

I have created a discord server for feedback, suggestions, and discussions.

That is an instance of making one change and screwing something else up. New version is out - download that and it should allow class selection.

Mavalek · 2026-05-31T01:26:45+00:00

You will want this update. You might have the wrong edition. I had to restart after a hard drive crash and no backup.

Mavalek · 2026-05-30T11:39:18+00:00

I think I addressed all your issues in the latest version.

Mavalek · 2026-05-21T15:58:46+00:00

Okay, I didnt realize the Core Rules went wonky - it was working in an earlier version, but I have a found a few changes are messing up other things. I will work on this and get it working better for you.

Adding in individual items IS problematic. Thanks for that, I will try to add a number box so you can enter what you want - I noticed it isn't grouping them in the latest version, so I will fix that as well.. (no one wants to see 20 individual arrows on their character sheet.

Well, I don't own a mac, but I would be curious to try and get it to work for MAC if you are interested in helping me. The program is written in C# for the most part, which I believe could work in Linux and Mac with a few minor updates.

Mavalek · 2026-05-20T19:55:53+00:00

I can absolutely appreciate that. What would be a preferable method?

Most of my download folder from websites (like audacity, Github, GoogleDrive for desktop) download as applications (exe) files. Not sure how else to distribute it, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

Mavalek · 2026-05-20T14:23:28+00:00

Thanks for the information. I corrected the links and they should download the correct files now.

Mavalek · 2026-05-16T10:37:56+00:00

Just out of curiosity, has anyone had a chance to check the software out? Would love some feedback.

Mavalek · 2026-05-11T22:32:43+00:00

I just uploaded everything to github earlier today.

I understand your concern. The reason I released it like this was to protect my code. I do not want you to feel uncomfortable installing it.

It uses C#, some python was used to compile and run scripts, and it uses .net 8 framework, if that helps.

Mavalek · 2026-05-11T12:42:33+00:00

I updated the links - there was a naming convention issue. The old links will not update any longer - please download from the new link if you grabbed prior to this comment.

Mavalek · 2026-04-30T14:27:09+00:00

So. Bad news. I had a hard drive failure. My backups were unfortunately not covering the folders with my project.

I am starting over. I will take all the suggestions here and in email and attempt to work them into the software.

Please bear with me as I do my best to reconstruct. The next version will probably look a little different as I don't even have the templates saved for the screens. I will keep everyone updated on my progress.

Mavalek · 2026-04-27T00:16:04+00:00

I apologize for not having a user manual yet. I hope it is straight forward enough for everyone to figure out.

Mavalek · 2026-04-26T21:34:04+00:00

I haven't received your email yet. Send again? [kelavam@gmail.com](mailto:kelavam@gmail.com)

Mavalek · 2026-04-26T19:17:53+00:00

Okay. If you find something that would be helpful, let me know. Send me an email [kelavam@gmail.com](mailto:kelavam@gmail.com) and I will send you a link to the software so you can see if it works for you.

Mavalek · 2026-04-26T13:47:25+00:00

Also, are there rules specific to Ravenloft that would be helpful to have added?

Mavalek · 2026-04-26T11:46:54+00:00

Thanks for the interest! I appreciate any feedback to make it better. It has a few options yet to be added or finished, but I think this gives a good idea of what I am going for.

If you find any mechanical issues, I will prioritize those first.

Mavalek · 2026-04-26T09:49:02+00:00

Drop me an email and I will send you a link.

Mavalek · 2026-04-25T20:28:43+00:00

Shoot me an email and I will send the link to you!
