I saw this posted on Reddit and I immediately thought this would be a useful tool for Legion. My friend and I are only able to get about 1 game in a month, so we waste a lot of time re-reading rules during every game. To be able to ask for a rule out loud will save a lot of time! Plus, I think this could be a great tool for people just learning the game.
However, this is a very big undertaking for just one person, and my free time is extremely limited. So I wondered if anyone else would be interested in helping me bring this to life. The developer has created the tool in such a way that rules can be written in plain text, so no coding experience is required. I'm thinking of sharing a Google doc that everyone can contribute to.
The sections I'm thinking will be needed are:
- FAQ / Errata
-
Basic rules
- Army building
- Setup
- Terrain
- Cover
- Game round (phases)
- Dice rolling/modification order
- Suppression
- Melee
-
Advanced rules
- Line of sight
- Tournament rules
- Index
-
Extras
- Assign damage to a vehicle (app will automatically roll and read out type)
- Round counter
- Round timer (?)
Most if not all of these topics are already covered in the rules reference, so it'll be a cut/paste job from the PDF with some creative thinking for the voice commands. Even if this ends up being just a voice-activated rulebook, I think a lot of people could get some use out of it.
Feel free to suggest new sections to add. I figure a person can claim a section or subsection to work on, then send me a link to their text file for me to put it into the "master" document.
Who's interested?
