Are you annoyed with having to manually create the Investigators for your sessions? Do you have enough of drudgingly counting everything in your head? Do you want to quickly get your Investigator and just start the session? Then this app is for you! Leverage AI and quickly create new Investigators - specify parts of the character, like age, skills, profession, and everything else can be filled out automatically. Do you want to play as a Soldier? Then for sure he should have a rifle, and be strong and athletic. Do you want to become a detective? Then he might have some dark secrets and friends in the police. Didn't have time to finish the scenario / campaign? Don't worry - the Investigators are saved, and you can also update their information any time. Available in pro version - more than 3 Investigators, editing Investigators statuses (e.g. Deep Wound, Temporary Insanity). Disclaimer: This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Chaosium Inc. and does not use any of their content. You still need to buy the Keeper Rulebook and other official materials to align with the official rules of the game. This app just helps automate the process, using globally accessible information and formulas. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
