Grimoire Scrolls is the all-in-one tabletop RPG character sheet companion built for adventurers. Create, manage, and bring your characters to life then take them into battle with friends over Game Center. CREATE YOUR HERO Build characters from scratch or generate them instantly with a single tap. Grimoire Scrolls rolls your ability scores, picks race-appropriate names, generates a physical appearance, equips starting gear, and assigns spell slots — all based on your chosen class, race, and background. Fine-tune every detail afterward, or start from a blank sheet and craft your character piece by piece. Supports levels 1 through 20 with full progression. LEVEL UP WITH STYLE Gain a level and watch Grimoire Scrolls handle the math. Hit points, proficiency bonuses, spell slots, class features, and subclass abilities all update automatically. When you hit a milestone level, a guided flow walks you through choosing feats, ability score improvements, and subclass selections — so you never miss a choice. THREE WAYS TO BATTLE Take your characters into turn-based tactical combat with a full action economy — actions, bonus actions, reactions, movement, and opportunity attacks all tracked for you. Party vs. Monsters: Build a party of up to four characters and pit them against encounters you design from the built-in monster library. Player vs. Player: Challenge a friend to 1v1 combat over Game Center with real-time turn notifications and in-match chat. Co-op Party vs. Monsters: Team up with a friend to fight monsters together, coordinating strategy through the built-in chat. Combat includes 15+ standard actions, class-specific bonus actions (Cunning Action, Rage, Martial Arts, Second Wind, and more), grapple and shove contests, death saves, conditions, readied actions, and healing — all resolved with animated dice rolls. A COMPLETE REFERENCE LIBRARY Browse an extensive handbook covering classes, subclasses, races, backgrounds, spells, feats, equipment, monsters, skills, abilities, and standard actions. Search and filter spells by level and school. View full monster stat blocks with challenge ratings. Look up class features by level. Everything you need at the table, in your pocket. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Create custom homebrew content for your campaign: races, classes, subclasses, backgrounds, spells, equipment, and monsters. All homebrew content integrates seamlessly into the handbook and character creation — marked with a badge so you always know what's official and what's yours. TRACK EVERYTHING Every aspect of your character is covered: six ability scores with auto-calculated modifiers, 18 skills with proficiency tracking, spell slots by level, a full equipment inventory with encumbrance, currency across four denominations with automatic conversion, class-specific resources like Ki Points and Rage charges, hit dice for short rests, and death saves with visual tracking. SHARE AND EXPORT Export character sheets as beautifully formatted PDFs for printing, or as Markdown files compatible with note-taking apps like Obsidian. Share characters between nearby devices over Bluetooth. All your characters sync automatically across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud. ROLL THE DICE A built-in dice roller supports every standard die type (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100) with adjustable counts, modifiers, and a full roll history. Use it standalone or pull in your character's ability and skill modifiers for quick checks at the table. DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY Full VoiceOver support with descriptive labels on every interactive element. Dynamic Type scales text to your preferred size. High-contrast dark mode interface. Touch targets sized for comfortable use. Grimoire Scrolls is completely free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no in-app purchases. Built for players, by a player.

Sortalis is a dice-building roguelike inspired by Farkle. Roll, score, and decide how far you’re willing to push your luck—then spend your winnings on Charms and upgrades that transform your dice, strengthen your strategy, and rewrite the rules. Every run becomes a new engine to build, exploit, and inevitably push a little too far. **What’s in the game?** • Endless challenges that grow tougher and demand new strategies • Over 150 upgrades to discover and combine into powerful builds • Rewards, unlocks, achievements, Dice Bags, and challenges to master **Roll, Set, or Bank** Roll and select scoring combos carefully. Roll again to make it bigger—or Farkle and lose the lot. Bank before your luck runs out. **Spend It in The Shop** Between Bouts, spend your winnings on Charms, Packs, Action Cards, and other upgrades. Don’t like what’s on the shelf? Redraw it and hunt for the piece your build needs. **Face The House** Every night ends with a boss that changes the rules. THE MISER, for example, won’t let you Bank until your Pot reaches 500. **Then Do It All Again** Every Bank and Farkle adds to your final score. Unlock 14 Dice Bags, tabletops, discover new combinations, and see how far you can push your next run.
