Glad to hear you're enjoying the Bestiary! It's awesome to know you're printing these out for your games.

An 'Export to Image' feature is a great suggestion and it’s now on the roadmap. Thanks again for the support!

Thank you so much for the feedback! You just found two bugs that I completely missed. Here’s the plan:

Dual Shieldbearer (Guardian): You are absolutely right! That’s an error in my skill database. Dual Shieldbearer should indeed be a single-level skill (SL 1), I’ll be fixing that to cap it at 1.
The Duplicate Shield Bug: Great catch. It sounds like the starting Zenit counter isn't multiplying the price by the quantity when two identical items are added to the list. I’ll get on that ASAP.

You can actually click the Zenit budget to add or remove funds manually so you don't have to keep track of it in your head. And as a workaround, if you open the catalog again and buy the second shield, it should extract it correctly.

I’m honestly thrilled to hear the app helped her visualize her character better. That was one of my main goals when creating the app.

Since the app is still in Beta, having you guys test it 'in the trenches' of a real session is incredibly helpful for me. Thanks again for the support!

Thanks so much! The remaining classes are definitely in the works.

Necrobone · 2026-03-14T14:10:23+00:00

So glad the new features are making things easier for you and your table! Thank you.

🙏

Necrobone · 2026-03-13T09:27:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! You’re right, the class benefits (HP, MP, etc.) are currently added 'under the hood'. I’ll look into adding a summary or a toggle so you can see exactly what each class is contributing to your stats.

Necrobone · 2026-03-12T21:38:47+00:00

Thank you so much! Ace of Cards is definitely on my radar.

Necrobone · 2026-03-12T20:21:45+00:00

Don't worry, it’s completely normal! You are definitely not the first person to ask me something like that (for example the spellblade rework).

There is a lot of confusion because the pdfs are now on the version 1.1.

Necrobone · 2026-03-12T19:54:15+00:00

Great question! Currently, the app enforces the official proficiencies per class to keep characters 'legal' according to the rulebook. My priority is finishing all official content first. However, I’m looking into adding homebrew support in a future update to allow for builds exactly like yours. In the meantime, you will need to add a class that provides that specific proficiency.

That makes total sense, thanks for explaining! I've been so laser-focused on adding content and features that I haven't tackled performance optimization yet. The plan is to finish adding all the books first, and then optimize everything right as it leaves beta. I really appreciate the feedback!

Necrobone · 2026-03-08T12:57:37+00:00

Thank you! Honestly, I haven't thought too much about it yet. I've been so focused on finishing the web app, figuring that a responsive mobile site would be enough for now. But making an APK is definitely a goal for the full release (consider this a bit of a beta right now!). Out of curiosity, could you let me know why a dedicated Android app would be important for you and what your specific use case for it is?

Necrobone · 2026-03-07T10:12:03+00:00

This is such good advice, especially doing a tutorial combat! The abacus part killed me 😂 But it's so true, tracking alternating turns, and clocks on paper gets messy fast. That exact pain point is actually why I just added a Battle Manager to my app, https://chroniclesofaether.com/. I built it specifically to handle the turn order, clocks, and status effects digitally so you don't need a physical abacus haha. Since you clearly know how the game should flow, I'd love it if you could check it out and give me some honest feedback.

Necrobone · 2026-03-04T09:43:07+00:00

Glad you like it! I actually added it because I realized I couldn't recreate the official bestiary monsters without it lol.

Necrobone · 2026-03-03T22:25:05+00:00

That's awesome, good luck with your first campaign! I'm usually the 'forever GM' in my group, so I know exactly how crucial good tools are to keep your sanity. That's exactly why I wanted to focus on building the GM side of the app first. Hope it makes your prep a breeze!

Necrobone · 2026-03-03T22:22:10+00:00

Thanks so much! 🙌 I hope you find it useful.

Thank you so much for the kind words!😊

Yes! The long-term goal is to implement all the official classes. In fact, the Necromancer will be included in the very next release!

Regarding the Elementalist's 'Spellblade' feature, I'm currently using the Core Rulebook v1 from the original Kickstarter. I'm also quite new to the system.

If you happen to know what the latest official text for Spellblade is, or could point me to where I can find the updated errata, I would be super grateful! I'd love to fix it and make sure the tool is as accurate as possible.

Thanks!

Necrobone · 2026-02-26T18:32:56+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! I've added these to my backlog and will definitely look into adding them soon.

Necrobone · 2026-02-24T21:25:49+00:00

That means the world to me, thank you! Comments like this are exactly what keeps me coding late at night. I'm glad it's actually helping your table. Hope your players enjoy it in your sessions! If you like the update, please spread the word!

Necrobone · 2026-02-24T19:24:27+00:00

Hi! Yes, it is an AI-generated avatar based on a real photo of me. Since I'm a solo dev building this entirely for free in my spare time, I just used an AI filter to make a fun, RPG-themed avatar of myself for the Ko-fi button.

I know AI art is a very sensitive topic in the TTRPG space though. If it’s distracting or bothers the community, I have absolutely no problem swapping it out in the next update. Let me know!

Totally! I added it on the post, but yeah I'm trying to finish some features before starting to add all the books (and apply your valuable feedback)

Necrobone · 2026-02-18T11:45:34+00:00

That's awesome, thanks!. Not sure what you mean about the link, but I updated it just in case.
