TOPIC: Feedback Needed on Character / Party screens

Here are the two main screens you will see when you are organizing your characters and parties (when using the upcoming Token Character Creation program).

The first screen shows all your created characters and the parties you have either created or joined.





This second screen is what you will see when you open up one of the parties you are associated with.





Any feedback?

We should have a screen shot of the actual token equipping page in a day or so.

I demand a visual display showing my imagined character decked out with all the equipment specified in my tokens!

Seriously though, it looks good!

They look good. While you are working on this, please make sure that there can be at least 2 party admins.

Wow - this looks like a very cool tool!!

It just keep getting better and better at the TD forum. Thank Jeff for create a better website to go to, every now and then. It just mean more cool stuff to work with and have with it.

Hey Jeff, it looks great! Are you still going to have a slot on the Party Cards to identify if they are using Horn of Plenty, Amulet of Wonder, or Ring of Riches?

Yes...this is the look of the printed out Party Card.

Jeff, that's great! Would it be helpful if the party cards we're putting together also had a note on whether the Rings of Riches or Horns of Plenty were being used, to make it easier for the Coaches to transfer the info from our party cards to the official party cards?

My question is the intent of the tool. If it is to help players organize their stuff and get into teams...great. If it is a tool for DMs with Netbooks at the site and access to printers that is another thing.

Key questions I have is, how many Character permutations/account? For example - I run a team of 10 players, none are forumites, if I am gearing them up for two to three dungeons (ex. Lich, Smoak, Grind) do I have the capabilities to have 30 characters associated with my account to then use the tool?

Or is the stat gathering (the saves and bonus to hit data as seen above) at the character party level?
(So I have my character "TEMBWBAM" once in my account but he can be in three different parties with 3 different stat lines, as his gear changes based on the various challenges).

That could open up a lot of trouble. Why do you want to have at least two party admins?

Thanks.

I think we are just going to try to use the printed out Party Card. Those that have them will get a clipboard to take along if the thing is printed out on paper. We will ask for people to bring along printed Party Cards that are on card stock.

Since program should automatically mark the RoR or HoP columns -- since they have to be equipped to be used. So the program will know, and it can mark as such.

I have no idea how many parties will bring the pre-printed Party Cards...but those that do should be the ones that really need a lot of effort from the Coach to figure things. I am hoping that this tool will be a big help to Coaches who are getting a token-heavy group. They just have to check each character print out with the tokens laid out before the character, and then they can verify the stats are correct.

Also, for a mini-maxer like me, it will just be fun to make up a few characters and see how they look. I like the fact that other people can view my characters...and little radio buttons will indicate my character graphic how many reds and purples I have. That graphic should be up for review here in a day or so.

Jeff, I'm still a bit confused. Will what we are doing here automatically print out in the party card format, or do we have to manually take the data from this form and enter it into a party card and then print it out? It seems like it is two separate forms.

I'd think the ideal would be for our party information to auto-populate the Party Card, making it easy to print out and bring. If we have to manually enter the data I think there will be typos and errors.

That graphic on the number of Reds and Purples sounds very neat! Will it also show the Greens, Browns, and Blues?
