    If you know your way around Docker or can set up a php -environment you can host Kanka yourself.

    For just general campaign management, e.g. keeping track of NPCs, locations, session logs, and all the other generally in-universe stuff I use Kanka. I've tried a few other sites, but never liked them as much. It makes it very easy to keep track of things for a sandbox game with a lot of stuff going on and hundreds of active NPCs. No more "Who is that guy? When did we last see him? Wait, he's the guy that the cousin of the murdered magistrate was suspicious of, right?" because I can just drop a quick link that pulls all of that information together.
  • Campaign organizer?

    I highly recommend Kanka.io. You can log, link and share anything campaign related you could possibly want.

    Maybe Kanka. It's similar to WorldAnvil that is mostly free. The only difference between each type of membership is the file size limit of what you're trying to upload. But AFAIK even as a free user, you can upload as much shit a you can as long as each individual file is below the limit (3MB for maps, 1MB for other files for free users). It's a dealbreaker for some since they have to downscale their maps and artworks to upload there.

  • Player Notes Module?
    5 projects | /r/FoundryVTT | 24 Jan 2022
    I prefer to use https://kanka.io/ and the module https://github.com/eXaminator/kanka-foundry/ so i can manage many references and sync many worlds together.

  • Newbies, let me build your character

    I also gave you the Aztec tradition because Guardian, Fire and Water spirits are all hella fun. Guardian spirits especially. There's just something magical about your spirit picking up the enemy's SMG and laying down suppressive fire. Outside of a fight, you will see that you have 9-10 dice in a wide range of social skills. Those aren't face dice pools and I wouldn't use them as such, but you should be able to very effectively support the party's face and come along as emergency fire support for a social infiltration where the face is taking the lead. You can also get a +1 to your social dice pools from the wireless bonus of the suit I gave you. If for whatever reason you really need to step into the role as the group's face, taking Improve Attribute Charisma as a limited spell is an easy +4 to all social rolls. To access the sheet, you're going to need to get chummer5 https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a And then open this file.

  • Can I create a custom mentor spirit in chummer?
    3 projects | /r/Shadowrun | 8 Sep 2021
    Data structure for mentor spirits is described in https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/wiki/Mentor-Spirits
    3 projects | /r/Shadowrun | 8 Sep 2021
    You can program it in C++, but custom data files and mentor spirits need to be read if you want to do it on your own. If you want me to quickly create the file for you, which you will simply drop in your data folder wherever you installed Chummer, I coded it (without the flavour link, which is still missing), here on WeTransfer.
