Arcane Scholar: a local first application for all your TTRPG needs. Create and manage characters, classes, spells, and more. Then package them up to share with your table.

In the style of Sauron I’m channeling all my frustration and hatred of slow loading tools that require you to pay a subscription, buy the digital book on every platform you want to use it on, and won’t let you use the physical book from your shelf.

For my first pass I decided on focusing on a character creator for a single game and streamlining the process.

I started with the 5.5e SRD but got frustrated with the sheer amount of text without much actual content ( 100+ A4 double column pages of spells, only 1 subclass per class ). Plus a number of weird and frustrating rules that make it hard to create software for. As I’m using Nimble RPG at the table a bit recently and it has a much nicer license I’ve switched to that and been getting on a lot better. Character creation is almost done and I’be moved to character sheets and persistent object storage now. This is the first major project I’ve done with sveltekit and I’m really enjoying it.
