Bang on

Crawled into bed and realised how inconvenient rolling die and scrawling on paper was. This solved my problems. Off i go!

Good

Does what it needs to

Perfect for Fighting Fantasy

I have a large collection of Fighting Fantasy game books from my youth that I am revisiting now that my kids are grown and my time is my own again. The 12 year old me had no problem with incessantly writing and erasing and writing some more, but the older crotchety me would much rather use this app! So elegant in its simplicity, much like the game books it is used for. I love the way your adjusted stamina scores carry over from the battle page to the stats page and vice versa. I’m also a fan of the section you can put the paragraph number in when taking a break so you know at a glance where you left off. And of course the lockable stats so you don’t accidentally go over your initial scores. Lots to love in this little companion. I now just use a pencil and paper to draw a map, and keep track of everything else with this app. And while I still like rolling the dice myself, it will do that for you too if you want. All you need is some ambient music and you’re good to go!

Love it

Have a massive collection of FF game books. This goes perfect with them! Love how it saves your info even after you close the app! Forget Xbox and PlayStation. Fighting Fantasy is the OG!
