  • I'm looking for one on one play by post system recommendations
    1 project | /r/rpg | 18 Jul 2021
    Oh I almost forgot! If you’re playing over Discord, there’s a Discord bot called TheOracle that can help you handle dice rolls, track progress, and provide a rules reference.
  • What is your preferred online or digital platform to play Ironsworn, and why?
    1 project | /r/Ironsworn | 14 Jul 2021
    i used roll20 for a good long while, but now i play on discord with TheOracle, a discord bot. both will do the trick, and it's probably a matter of taste, but for my purposes TheOracle + discord has proven more comfortable for playing Ironsworn.
  • Tracking Co-Op games
    1 project | /r/Ironsworn | 22 May 2021
    I use discord. And would probably still use it if in person. The Oracle is an amazing discord bot that can be used to track almost everything. In person I'd use a physical sheet and dice. But The Oracle can be used to track NPCs, Delves, Progress tracks, and other locations.

    There is an app I think that isn’t available in my country. The site works well enough on my phone but I must open the character sheet in another tab so I still have to go back and forth between the two. As someone else said, you can also look at the discord bot ( https://github.com/XenotropicDev/TheOracle ). For ironsworn (and starforged when they release the character sheet) I still prefer roll20 I think.

  • I made an app for Ironsworn

    I'd also like to give a huge thanks to u/rsek for their awesome datasworn repo which made making the app so much easier :)
  • I made a dice and reference bot for Discord!

    also check out datasworn, which my repo of JSON files containing most of the game data relevant for developing ironsworn-related tools, already formatted in markdown. that's including Delve content, btw - i'm not a lawyer or anything, but CC-NC is generally in the clear so long as you're not using it for commercial purposes (commercial in the narrow sense of commerce taking place; you can probably google a more thorough explanation). you can also ask shawn tomkin himself on the discord if you're not sure.
