A "Can you kill 'em" meter for role playing board & card games including Munchkin and its many variants. It can also be used as a simple score counter or scorekeeper for all kinds of games. To summarize: it's a calculator specifically for games like Munchkin. If you think it's going to be more than this, you will be disappointed. FEATURES - The easiest way to track the combat strength of your character and your opponent to see if you can beat them in a battle. - Works with many board & card games including all variants of Munchkin (including Epic Munchkin, Munchkin Cthulhu, Munchkin Zombies, etc.) and makes those games more enjoyable to play. - Countless improvements over the official Level Counter app for tracking combat strength! - Simple number pad interface with convenience buttons for +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, -1, -2, -3, -4, and -5. - Ticker Tape (History) shows the current tally, so you won't be all like, "Wait, you're at 17. Did we count that +2 Bonus over there? I can't remember." You'll see that the +2 bonus in the history! - You can even change the hero, monster, and background to better suit your style or the game variant you're playing! - Makes RPG board and card games more accessible for younger kids who possibly can't do math in their heads very well or very quickly. - From Downcast Systems, creators of mobile RPG puzzle games like Puzzlewood Quests and The Hangman's Noose. Munchkin is a registered trademark of Steve Jackson Games, and Downcast System is not affiliated with Munchkin or Steve Jackson Games (creators of Munchkin) in any way. This app is simply a utility to make an awesome RPG card game even better.

Turn Tracker (the successor to the popular app InitiativeBoard) is a slick and easy to use initiative tracking aid for combat in pen-and-paper role playing games like D&D (5e or any other edition), Pathfinder (1e or 2e), Starfinder, Shadowrun and many other systems. Initiative rules are configurable to your game's rules: choose dice (d20, d10, 1d6 to 5d6), ascending/descending order, range of values and more. Also choose from one of the built-in color schemes, or design your own. No more messy whiteboards, magnetic boards or pencil and paper! Quickly and easily create draggable tiles for PCs and NPCs, and arrange them in initiative order on the board, or let the app take over the dice-rolling for you. Determining initiative, changing the turn order and starting new encounters is all a matter of seconds. Turn Tracker fully supports landscape and portrait orientation as well as slide-over and multitasking - no more app switching just because you need to look something up in a PDF or on the web. The free version of Turn Tracker supports one campaign with up to 10 tiles on the board (5 PCs/NPCs each). Upgrading to Premium lifts these restrictions and you can run multiple campaigns in parallel, with unlimited PCs/NPCs per campaign.
