Ok, first, I just wanted to say thank you to Goat Head Software for releasing a lite/free version: I like what I am seeing but need to figure out a problem I am haing before I buy it. So, without further ado:
I am attempting to use DM Minion Lite. When I first launch the App I create an Adventure name (test for, you guessed it, test purposes). My first red flag is when I click "Create Adventure" and seemingly nothing happens: the adventure name DOES populate in the top right corner so I assume it worked. I move on to the next tab, Encounter, to attempt to build an encounter. I load the sample monsters, build an encounter with a random number and combination of them and click save: so far so good!!! Click the newly created encounter and run it (I do like the way initiative is set for players and handled behind the scenes for monsters). Go through a couple example rounds and actions: smooth sailing and very satisfied so far!! End the encounter, click around on some more options and exit the App: now the problem(s) begins.
When I leave the App for short periods of time everything stays loaded/configured/built/what have you. If I stay away for a larger amount of time, or kill the app through the standard means, it's all gone. I think to myself "Fine, I'll just load what I built and run it again," but there is nowhere to load the adventure I created. Nor is there anywhere to load the encounter I built; I can only recreate it. Do some more testing and try to create a PC: can't be saved without an adventure loaded. "Create" my test adventure, load the character and save it. Immediately exit out of the App (and completely kill it) and the adventure is gone now ALONG WITH the PC I built. Try to creat the same "Test" adventure to see if the PC populates as available and nothing. So here's my conundrum: can I PERMENANTLY build ANYTHING from COMPLETELY WITHIN the App or will I have to do EVERYTHING through the website and import it in after?
Here's hoping I'm doing something wrong.
