dataforged VS fari-app

so, this news is probably coming a bit late to be of use to your project, but in the interest of making a PSA: please don't go to the trouble of doing all that copy-pasting and markdown annotation, because that's what dataforged is for 😭 https://github.com/rsek/dataforged

There is also a copy of the oracles to roll on, which are the same oracles that the sector generation uses. These come from rsek's repository of goodness.

if you're not using Node or JS, check out the github repo. you can grab the json and its schemas from the dist directory, and the images from the img directory.

putting one together so that all dataforged (and datasworn) content is accessible in a markdown-only format is on my todo list, but one that's unfortunately fallen by the wayside as i work on other aspects of the project as the game's release approaches.

Ayethin's official sheet is imminent. to my knowledge it's complete with the asset, move, and oracle data included in Dataforged.

If all you need is a character sheet with some automation, Fari is great, has a varied collection of games and you can build one of your own with a drag & drop GUI. I think Role and OMM have some free options and you could build a character sheet with automation without coding in them.

I don't know if you're aware of Fari, it's an other open source vtt (Github link). Might be worth a look to see if there's something that could help you out with items on your roadmap, it also used to use PeerJs (not anymore).

Platform - Discord (voice), Fari.App (VTT).

Fari

Yes, I maintain the Fari Community Discord servers with around 1000 people in it to talk about the free VTT Fari App, the free resource website Fari Community, and all things TTRPG. I also have a blog/newsletter where I share insights about game design, and the latest news about my projects, which has more than 500 subs.

https://fari.app/ is pretty awesome to create character sheets, but I don't know how well it works on mobile.

I know you mentioned maps, but I also know that a lot of those indie games are based around Theatre of the Mind play, and if you're looking for a VTT that doesn't bother with a map, you've got a few options. I'd consider fari.app, which is an ultra-light web-based system that has chat, dice rolls, a simple whiteboard, character sheet builder, etc. A step up from that would be Role which is much fancier, and has built in video chat.

Fari is criminally underrated, and among its goodies there's a decent whiteboard. (Though you seem to be a power user in this regard, so it may fall short of your expectations.)

Wow, never heard about fari.app before. It's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I only wish it had some way of storing the data in a local format because it all disappears after a browser cache reset.
