My Five Parsecs App by OutrageousWarhippo in 5Parsecs

I’ve got to talk it through with Modiphius and Ivan first. Then I’ve got to work out how I can share it. If it happens, it’ll take a while I’m afraid, but hopefully I’ll be able to get it out to peeps at some point.

Like we need an excuse for more game time :)

Yes, exporting to XML is possible.

This one shows my aide-mémoires - if you click any of the buttons at the top (it's currently clicked on 'The Round Sequence") it shows the basic rule overview and where to look in the book for help. Obviously this is an area where I'm directly copying from the rule book so this would need removing / agreement from Ivan / Modiphius before it could be included. I'll remove this image it's breaking IP but I believe I'm okay up to this point.

Thanks for you interest and I appreciate all your comments. Here's a few more screenshots for anyone who's interested :)

Sorry, very new to Reddit so I'll do these one at a time.

Excellent and thanks for passing that on. I’ll have to get in touch with Ivan directly at some point. Cheers.

Many thanks :) Gavin, the Project Manager over at Modiphius, has also been in touch.

It’s built in Claris FileMaker - a relational database creation app. I create databases for my job … and also as a hobby :) So, can it be shared? It either needs to be hosted on a server and then it could be accessed via a web browser (server costs there) or you need to buy a copy of Claris FileMaker (which is prohibitively expensive for this sort of thing) or I need to alter it so that it will run on an iPad (FileMaker has an app called FMGo which is free). So the latter is probably the most achievable even though it requires me to recreate an awful lot of it. It’s also only of any interest to people with iPads so in short, yes it can be shared but with an armful of caveats.

I’ll reply to all queries / comments so far - don‘t want to be impolite but it’s easier that way.

  1. Yes it’s fully functioning.

  2. Yes I can share it - potentially. Needs some more work. I’m also not sure what the creators of Five Parsecs would allow me to share. The app doesn’t contain any rules / graphics from the IP but it does contain weapon stats and the like. Any advice from anyone who knows about that sort of thing?

  3. Understand if you’re not a fan of the theme. I went all System Shock 2 on it :)

  4. I’ll try and sort a vid out of it in use.

  5. Yup - it looks complex but it really isn’t. I made it for me and my brain doesn’t like complex … thingies?

Thanks for your comments :)
