Work in Progress

Hello Patrons,

As ever thank you for your support.

Some of you who might remember that last year I mucked around with some Pathbuilder 2e GM Tool technology, but ended up unhappy with how it all connected. Over the last couple of weeks I decided to revisit this from a different approa...

I deleted the post I made earlier today as I got what I needed.  Thanks for all who helped.

Pathbuilder 2e Custom Packs

Hello all,

I just published v49 of the Pathbuilder 2e web app which  brings the capability to make Custom Packs.  These are files of custom items that other users can import into their own apps on both android and the web.  Custom Packs can contain any of the existing custom ...

Update

Hello All,

I know I've been quiet recently - been dealing with some stuff, and limiting my social media to help with that.  

I just updated Pathbuilder 2e with Knights of Lastwall, AP 178 and Outlaws of Alkenstar player's guide, and since I last posted added Book of the Dead, Bat...

Update

Hello Patrons,

Just an update with what I've been working on recently.

1)  GM tools for Pathbuilder 2e.  I've been developing a way for GMs to view their player's sheets, like in the first image attached.  GMs can adjust hp, apply conditions etc from the GM tool, or the...

Secrets of Magic Release

Hello my friends,

In case you weren't aware, Paizo pushed back the release date of Secrets of Magic to 1st September due to international shipping issues.  I'm also releasing the Pathbuilder 2e update on the 1st September, (as are the other providers like Archives of Nethys etc).

Pathbuilder 2e Website - v18 Paid Unlock

Hi all,

I've programmed in some of the paid unlock features (google drive, custom skill&ability&feat choices, GMG options, json export) to the website.  You can log in via google or your reddit account, although I do recommend google so you can use google drive (and link up wit...

General Update

Hello Patrons,

Just an update to let you know what I've been working on and what is coming soon.

Since releasing the redesign of the web version I've:

- bug fixed the web redesign and done R&D on account management/payments for the "pro" version (fairly time consuming).

Pathbuilder 2e Web Redesign

Hello Patrons,

As ever, thank you for your support.

I decided to have a redesign of the Pathbuilder 2e web version.  I can see that I made the classic "Windows 8" mistake of serving up a mobile layout to desktop users, and it's not gone down too well in some quarters.  I als...

Pathbuilder 2e Web Version

Hello Patrons.

I've completed stage 1 of the web version of Pathbuilder 2e - which is pretty much what free users will experience.  There was a slight delay as I decided to take some time off before launching - I needed to restore some sanity after lockdown. 

Please do not s...

Quick Update

Really quick update.  I'm nearly finished stage 1 of the web app, with the basic unpaid features all enabled.  Might get it to a state where I can show it to people before Lost Omens Ancestries drop, but otherwise it will be soon after.  Have a good weekend everyone!

Update

Hello Patrons.

Just a quick update to let you know what I've been doing. It's kind of techy, but I know some of you are techy.

Before Christmas I spent time researching different technologies, and translating the backend of Pathbuilder 2e from Java to Kotlin Common (Kotlin is awesome ...

Update

Hello Patrons.

As ever, thank you for your support, and a big welcome to those of you who have just joined us.  Just an update here to let you know what I've been doing over the last couple of weeks and what I'm planning to do.

One of my main objectives was to get Starbuilder out...

Update

Hello Patrons,

As ever, thank you for your continuing support.

I've just uploaded a beta version of Pathbuilder 2e  which allows JSON export, and also completed a Foundry VTT module which imports characters from that JSON.

Update

Hello Patrons,

Just a quick update to let you know what I'm working on.

So far August has been dominated by the Advanced Player's Guide for Pathfinder 2e.  It really has added an enormous amount of options to 2e, which has taken some time to add and debug.  Some pretty cool ...

Starbuilder

Hello Patrons,

I've uploaded Starbuilder to the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redrazors.starbuilder

I've tried to send out a promo code to eac...

Update 22 May 202

Hello Patrons,

I know I haven't posted for a while, but I've been fighting off a chest infection/cough since before Easter, so my output has been fairly limited.  Might be covid, but testing hasn't been available in the UK for non-essentials until very recently so I don't know for sure...

Update

Hello Patrons,

I just want to say thank you to all of you who are continuing your patronage in this difficult time.  I'm sure I'm not alone in having a much more complex working environment.  I've now got my kids (7 and 8) at home full time due to school closure which of course li...

Update

Hello Patrons,

Well aonprd still haven't got Gods and Magic up on their site, and the Gamesmastery Guide isn't out in the UK until 10th March, so I've been working on the PC version of Pathbuilder 2e.

I ran into some pretty tricky technical issues with it, and it looked like I was goi...

Update

Hello patrons.

Another general update.  Last week I did a few updates to Pathbuilder 2e for bug fixes, in particular how it handles focus points and pools (it wasn't respecting the sidebar rules from p302).  I'm still waiting for Gods and Magic to go up on 2e.aonprd so I can run m...

Update

Well what a week this has been.

Last Friday I found out that the host of the Pathbuilder 1e online shared builds database had messed up a server migration.  My database was left with most of its data and tables missing. I immediately released an update which temporarily closed down tho...

Update: Semi regular updates

Hello Patrons,

I hope you all had a good holiday. 

I've decided to try to do short, semi regular updates this year, to keep you all in the loop of whatever it is I'm doing. They won't contain anything important, and I'll mark them with "Update:" so you can feel free to ignore the...

Update

Well, the "little bit" of work to do on Pathbuilder 2e took me longer than I thought, but it's out now.  Animal Companions, Familiars, buffs, custom armor, custom shields, custom weapons are not available.

After Christmas (I'm going to take a proper break from this for a couple of week...

Vote here for Steam Pathbuilder 2e

If you want my next project to be Steam Pathbuilder 2e, then favourite this post.

I have plans to develop a PC version of Pathbuilder 2e and make it available via Steam for PC.  The advantage of this over a web version is 1) I can reuse my java backend and just remake the UI in javafx,...

Vote here for Starbuilder

If you want my next project to be Starbuilder, then favourite this post.  

Starbuilder will be more or less like Pathbuilder 2e but for Starfinder. I had done a bit of this before Pathfinder 2e came out in August, but there is still a huge amount to do on it - especially as a load of n...

Vote for my next project

Hello Patrons.

I've got a few major additions to make to Pathbuilder 2e over the next couple of weeks, and some upkeep work to do on Pathbuilder 1e, but after that I've got time to start (or resume) another project.  

So its time for you to help decide what that project is.  ...

Welcome

Just wanted to say a quick hello and thank you to all the new supporters who have joined me.  

I've been working like crazy on the 2e app for the last month and a half, hence the radio silence from me.  I'll do a proper update on things soon.

As ever, thanks for your support...

Starbuilder Progress

Hi peeps,

Thought I'd update you on Starbuilder progress.  It's a bit slower than I'd hoped for various reasons, but I thought I'd show you were it is up to.  With the release of 2e coming up in August, and the school holidays, its not going to be finished until later in the year....

Starbuilder

Hi everyone.

As ever, thanks for your support.  I know I said I'd give patrons a chance to vote on the next bit of work if I got over 50 patrons.  I will do that, but just not at the moment.  I'm already up to my neck in Starbuilder for SFRPG.  The engine is about 50% do...
