BarrowFalls is an original tile-crawl RPG in the spirit of the classics — forge your Outlander, explore a hand-drawn realm, and set out to end the Undying Reign of Malgorth. • Forge a hero — pick your kindred and calling, then grow your stats, gear, and spells your way. • Turn-based combat — no button-mashing. Bump a monster to fight; target foes for spells and arrows; every creature has an element it resists and one it fears. • A living town — quests, a chapel, a spell tutor, a smith who cuts gems into your gear, and townsfolk who warm to you as you help them. • Explore four dangerous lands, brave boss barrows, and reforge your weapons with socketed gems. • Narrated Tale — a spoken opening chronicle and read-aloud guide, at your own pace. • Play your way — adjustable move speed, music/sound/voice volumes, and a full How-to-Play guide. No ads. The whole adventure is playable free — optional "Stand the Bard a Round" gold packs support the developer and top up your purse, nothing more. Made with care by one developer - Sternzy. ``` **Copyright:** ``` © 2026 Sternzy

Welcome to Rat's Roster! This simple app allows you to create and store all of your characters across all of your 5e campaigns. Whether you're a Player or a Game Master, this app will make character management easier. In this app, you can store your characters' details, combat stats, abilities, skills, equipment, spells, feats, and even campaign notes! I created this app for me and my buddies. After a friend of mine continually forgot to bring his character sheet to our sessions, I decied enough was enough. It was time to build him a permanent character sheet on his phone that he couldn't forget. I've tried a varierty of these TTRPG Companion apps, and they never sat right with me. While this app will autocalculate certain things for you, such as your modifiers for skills and weapons, nothing is tied to your class or race. The end result is a beautiful, semi-automated character sheet in the best way. No gated content. No in-app purchases. Full homebrew compatibility. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have making it. Enjoy!
