[title]New iPhone Apps for RPGs[/title]

A couple more iPhone apps have been sent my way:

• d20 Rules Contains the whole d20 SRD for core, monsters, divine, psionic and variant rules. Searchable and bookmarkable. $1.00.
• d20 Modern Contains the whole d20 SRD for modern, future, arcana, and menaces. Searchable and bookmarkable. $2.00.
• Also an update - the Pathfinder Reference Document app has dropped from $5.99 to $4.99.
• SPELL BOOK Spell Book is a handheld reference for players of classic tabletop fantasy roleplaying games like Swords & Wizardry, Labyrinth Lord, or original edition D&D. Browse spells by name, class, and level. Save your favorite spells for quick reference during your game.
• DICEALYZER This mobile-optimized web page simply allows you to track your die rolls over your play session and graphs them against the expected values or see how 'lucky' your dice are or to compare your results to someone else's.

And a few Android apps have sneaked into my inbox today! I don't have an Android phone, and the following links are to something called an "AppBrain" - I'm sure you Android users know what that means (thanks to David Horn for this list!):

• Pocket Tabletop RPG Helper Not much more to it, from the looks of things, than a simple and not too pretty dice roller.
• DiceBox Fairly standard dice roller but probably the best-looking one.
• Dice Bag Another dice roller. Not particularly pretty but it IS configurable, so you can set up one-touch dice rolls for all of your skills, attacks, initiative and so on.
• rpgdice Another dice roller. Looks a bit plain.
• Dice for D&D Very simple, one-die-at-a-time dice roller.
• Sylloge D&D Compendium Search As the name suggests, this app is a wrapper that allows you to access and search the 4e DDi Compendium from your Android phone. Requires an active DDi subscription, of course.
• d20 Character Sheet A d20 character sheet app. No spells (yet?) though.
• Dice and Roll Lite Another dice roller, yes, but another configurable one.

As always, check out the master list for the full selection (which I guess I should now rename now it's not just iPhone apps!)
