A Terrible Idea

[Dunlaing]

Ive noticed (through extensive research of two gaming groups) that iOS devices outnumber humans at MHRP sessions. That being the case, I thought it would be cool if there were an iOS app for MHRP.

What I'd like to see is an iPad app where you're expected to use the app in landscape mode with your character sheet on the left and a big blank area on the right. The Watcher would have tabs on the left with multiple character sheets and scene distinctions and stuff. At the beginning of a scene, the Watcher would push some scene distinctions and/or images to the right side of the screen, which would cause them to appear on the players' right sides of their screens as well. Players would also be able to create assets and resources on the right side for reference. Stress would presumably be tracked on the left hand side but would propagate to the opponents' right side. Likewise with complications.

Unfortunately, I have neither the skill nor free time to create such a thing.

Well, one and a half gaming groups . . .

But I would be all over that app.

I wonder if something like this could be achieved using a Web app (like iPlay4e) that's relatively platform agnostic. I used to play DnD4E and used that app on my Windows 7 tablet (using the iPhone view).

I'd like to see something like this too, but for Android. =3

Now that really *is* a terrible idea!

I wonder how close you can get to this with Pinterest.

I don't really know anything about Pinterest. Do you want to set up a prototype on Pinterest?

How about a Doom Pool manager.

You would have each size of dice, with a + or - next to it, and also the quantity in the pool.

You click "roll" and it would should you the results. 1's would be off to the side, then you drag the dice you want to be your total and the one you want for effect.

Actually, you could have the same thing for players as well pretty much.

Here's what I know about Pinterest: I have an account there.

You make my Asus Transformer sad.
