Need a place to keep your characters for a variety of RPGs? We've got you covered! Protagonist lets you keep any number of character sheets for multiple gaming systems. You can assign character portraits, backup and restore your save files, and choose between light and dark themes. Most systems contain no content from their respective game. In those cases, the user must input all the values they want to keep track of, like is done with a traditional pen & paper character sheet. Systems: • Call of Cthulhu 7e (The Dhole's House import support) • Dungeons and Dragons 5e • Dungeon World (Character Builder & Content Support) • Gaslands 1e & 2e • HeroQuest • Legend of the Five Rings 1e • Necromunda 1e & 2e • Pathfinder 2e Protagonist makes no claims of any of the system publishers, on behalf of them, and is not endorsed by them. Use of the system name is solely for the purpose to inform that Protagonist is suitable for use with that product.
