Release RPG Spark 2.1.0 - GMs & Solo Players Companion (iOS/Android)

[karlossg]

Hey everyone! Quick update on RPG Spark - I missed posting here for v2.0.0 so this covers both releases.

For anyone new to the app: RPG Spark is a system-agnostic tabletop RPG companion for GMs and solo players. It runs 100% offline on iOS, Android. No account, no internet required. Free to download with a one-time $4.99 Pro unlock (no subscription).

What's New in 2.0: UX Redesign​

The whole app got a visual overhaul:

• Light & Dark themes — follows your system setting by default, or pick manually. Both themes fully styled with genre-aware accent colors.
• Professional icons — every emoji in the app replaced with proper icons. Consistent across platforms, themeable, and much cleaner.
• New navigation — Home screen removed. Campaigns is now the default landing tab. Tab bar is [Campaigns | Solo | Generators | Dice | More]. Every tab has a unique purpose, no duplicate shortcuts.
• Themed dialogs — native alert boxes replaced with styled confirmation dialogs and action sheets that match the app theme.
• Translation quality pass — fixed 400+ translation issues across all 7 languages. Added automated quality guard tests to catch regressions.
• 7th language — Simplified Chinese added (UI + all generator data).
• Accessibility — WCAG AA contrast, accessibility attributes across the full app.

What's New in 2.1: Custom Generators​

This is the big one. You can now create your own generators inside the app.

Custom Generator Editor​

• 3 modes — List (pick one from a flat table), Pattern (template like "{1} {2}" with sub-tables), and Dice Table (map entries to dice ranges like 2d6 or d100)
• Dice Table features — die type picker (d4 through d100), dice count stepper, auto-split presets that evenly divide the range, two-tap merge flow for combining rows
• Organize your content — sections and categories with custom colors and icons. Group your generators however you want.
• Paste support — paste a list of entries and it fills the table automatically

Custom Combos​

• Bundle multiple generators (built-in or custom) into a single one-tap combo
• Works the same as built-in Quick Combos - you get a multi-field result card

Clone & Customize​

• Tap "Customize" on any built-in generator to clone it as an editable custom generator
• Pre-fills with all the original entries so you can add, remove, or tweak to fit your campaign
• Works for simple generators, pattern generators, and combo generators
• Shows a "Based on [original]" badge so you remember the source

NPC Reaction Roll​

• New oracle tool - 5 tones from Hostile to Enthusiastic, each with genre-flavored specific reactions
• Optional relationship context (Stranger / Acquaintance / Rival / Ally) that shifts the probability
• Not a generic 2d6 table - each result is a specific, usable reaction like "Reaches for weapon" or "Offers a seat by the fire"
• Available in the free tier

Conversation Escalation​

• The NPC Action oracle tool now has a multi-beat mode
• 4 beats: Opening, Development, Twist, Outcome - each tap adds the next beat
• Thread-aware - if you have active campaign threads, the oracle can weave them into the conversation

Full Feature Overview​

For anyone seeing this for the first time, here's the complete picture:

110+ Random Generators​

• NPCs, names, quests, locations, dungeons, wilderness, items, creatures, events, world building
• Combo generators that produce multi-field results in one tap (Full Encounter, Quest Package, Full NPC, etc.)
• 4 genre modes: Fantasy, Cyberpunk, Post-Apocalyptic, Horror - each shifts all content and the app's color scheme
• Plus your own custom generators in any of the 3 modes

Solo Oracle Tools​

• Yes/No Oracle with 11 probability levels, chaos events, close calls, exceptional results
• Meaning Tables (Action + Subject)
• Scene Check, NPC Action (with conversation escalation), NPC Reaction Roll, Random Event, Quest, Discovery, Complication
• Full Chaos Factor system (1-9 scale) that affects oracle odds and scene alterations

Campaign Management​

• Campaign Journal — session-based entries with inline toolbar for dice, oracle, generators, and cards. Results embed directly into your story.
• NPC & Thread Tracker — track NPCs and story threads with @mentions and #tags that become tappable cross-references.
• Flex Character Sheets — system-agnostic with number fields, counters, checkboxes, dice rolls, and text. Pre-built templates or build your own.
• Prep Board — markdown notes with checkboxes. Pin generator results for quick reference.

Dice Roller​

• Pool mode for counting hits/successes
• 3 built-in narrative dice systems (success/failure/advantage/threat style)
