That's awesome! Thanks for the offer! I'll talk it over with the others, and reach back out to you when we are ready to go that route.

I'm having trouble adding a new game. Everything else has worked fine though.

Update! V 0.12 is now up, with access to the Game Table for all!

@QuincyPostman Did you ever get the new game issue resolved?

Is there a tutorial for this somewhere? I just stumbled across it and I'm admittedly having trouble figuring out how it all works. :P Probably just user error on my part, but ist ehre an easy spot to see how a GM can use this to organize a session?

We are in the process of creating some videos that may help . We have a New User playlist, as well as a Highlights playlist on our YouTube channel, and will be adding more over time. A GM Setup video is a great idea! If you have any specific questions, feel free to add them here, over on our Discord Server , and we'll do the best we can to answer them.

Latest Update! ...V 0.12.13 "Statue Of Stardust"

- feat: Add crit rolling support to Game Table
- feat: Clicking dice in the Game Table messages will set them to your dice pool to be rolled
- fix: corrected a bug with how initiative was ordered when negative dice were included in the dice pool
- fix: remove some test code that was left over
- fix: adjust the version numbers because I was off by 1.

I was looking through this system as I will be starting to run a Genesys game through Discord soon. It looks very cool and I love the Discord integration. One thing I was trying to find though, is there a way to create a character sheet with a custom set of skills that I can somehow share with my players so they can create the characters in this setting without having each person customize the sheet individually? It's not a huge deal to have each person do it, but it would definitely be easier if it could customized once then shared. Thank you for all your work!

We have some great stuff on the horizon! This post sums it up nicely, if you are wanting a beefy post!

Nice! I really look forward to these additions. I cannot wait to transplant my NPCs so I can use the game table more effectively as a GM. I am also happy to see the extra features for the character sheet, especially the remove setbacks.

One issue I encountered last night, if I have my dice preference set to Genesys, my Star Wars character cannot use the dice roller correctly. Specifically, I am unable to add dice. I have to switch the dice preference to Star Wars in settings which then disables the Genesys character sheet from adding dice in a similar way. Is this working as intended because of the very slight difference in the dice sets (force die)?

It would also be nice to have an option to add dice results directly in the die roller like how the game table allows you to.

Thanks you for the wonderful game tools!

Latest Update: v1.0.0.0 - Origin of the Light

Thank you very much Joress for all the work you and you friend are putting into this.

Could you remove the requirement to attach armor bonus to an item? When it comes to crafting items, there can be items with qualities that aren't common like weapons with defensive or deflective quality.

Also is it possible to setup party linking, so that items (with their qualities and descriptions) could be moved between the party's character's profiles?

I wonder if I am doing something incorrectly with NPCs in the game table. I am unable to roll NPC initiatives when I have them added on the right-hand column under adversaries. I get an "internal server error" when I click Roll NPC.

Hmmm... That doesn't sound right. Are you on our Discord Server? Maybe drop a post in the RPG Support Channel, and we can look into it further.

My issue was answered in the support channel within seconds. The RPGSessions discord is very helpful and friendly.

For others experiencing a similar issue. The GM also needs their own"player character" in the list of PCs, even if they aren't going to use it. Then you can select and roll initiative with your adversaries as normal.
