TOPIC: Coach Minion

Coach Minion 6 years 1 month ago #1

Are any coaches still using the Coach Minion? I see downloads occasionally, but I suspect those are players.

Just wondering if I need to plan an update for that prior to Origins? If so, i will probably add the variable effects for AoW, Eldritch Runestone and Special. I should probably add the Ioun Stone Silver Nugget, also.

If the coaches don't use it, I will leave it as is.

Thanks!

I try to keep mine updated, but I'll only actually use it at GenCon, if I'm helping out with Coaching. (That only happens occasionally, either during Grind, or if I see the Coaches are short handed and I can help fill in until they hunt down the errant volunteer.)

I have no idea what that is despite having coached all the con's for the last 3 years.

We need to fire the marketing guy...oh wait. That's me.

Coach Minion is an iPad app that works like a TD calculator. It allows the coach just to up different stats directly. If a player lays out a set of tokens in front of you, just take them one at a time and add in the effect from the stat. If the player changes his mind about this token versus that, subtract out the effect from one, and add in the replacement. There are some set bonuses and other set-able items. The iTunes link is below:

I have not done an update in a year. I'm wondering if I need to update it or not. So far, it doesn't sound like it.

I am open to most things and I’ll try just about anything once but I have a few questions. Do you have any feedback on if that’s actually Quicker than doing it mentally or do you have any anecdotal experience is it say it saves time? Also will work on an iPhone versus an iPad?

The answer is 'that depends'. If you have a good memory and can add quickly in your head, the use diminishes. Like any calculator, most of it's use can be done in your head. It can be helpful if you are doing multiple players with it, in case one wants to make a change after you move on to the next. There is a separate page for each class. In most cases where players come in with a complicated build, hopefully it comes with David's spreadsheet or one of the apps or web apps, but if the player has not done the prep, it can be handy.

Due to the amount of text and options, it would not work well on a phone screen. You would be scrolling all the time, so it was built as an iPad app only. That could change if there is enough interest, but I suspect not.
