RPG Tools for the PocketPC 2002

[frompkin]

Just wondering if anyone out there has a list of what's available in the line of RPG (D&D predominately) tools for the Ipaq Pocket PC. I used to have a Palm OS pda and an assortment of tools, but I wasn't impressed with the system in general and bought a PocketPC instead. I'm very impressed with it, however I need to rebuild my software library and get some tools to bring to the table on RPG nights. Any suggestions or URL's would be greatly appreciated.

Well I haven't looked that hard but I haven't been able to find anything of note.

I am planning on making some pocketPC RPG programs (mostly D&D I guess) but I have just started thinking about this. If you have any suggestions of what you'd like to see let me know and I will try.

Please keep in mind that I am just returning to D&D (I stopped playing right when the 2nd edition came out so it's been a while) and I am just learning to program for the pocket PC so don't expect anything spectacular but it will be free.

I have a small app for hand helds running the Pocket PC 2002 OS.

Currently, you can enter in the character's stats, skills, feats, equipment, and spells. There's a dice roller that allows you to roll any number of dice of any standard side. It also includes a random monster generator (using the standard tables from the DM's guide), a combat tracker (my favorite part) for managing combat and tracking HPs, and finally a spell tracker for keeping track of spell durations.

The app has the ability to export and import character data. So, if you want to share character data with other users you can easily export the data to a file, beam the file to another user through the IR port, and they can import it into their copy. Pretty cool.

You can access the download at http://www.digitalsloth.com/D20

I hope you find it useful. I'm a DM and I've been using it during my game sessions for a couple of months now and it's really helped me keep track of my player's characters. It's especially helped speed up combat.

I"ll check it out.

Thanks.

Wow. I was considering getting a Pocket PC and writing an app, but it appears that Beerskunk already has it covered.

Besides, my fiancee won't let me get a Pocket PC. No more toys, she says, we have to save for a house.
