[QUOTE="Zio_the_dark, post: 7938784, member: 54863"] Last year I built a tool in Excel to help me handle my play by post games and tabletop sessions with my family/friends. I shared the tool here on Enworld but had almost no feedback on it. It's mainly a tool for GM to prepare and/or use at the table to track almost anything they want from a session and was first designed for a custom game then for D&D 4th edition (probably the reason why it had not much feedback :ROFLMAO: ). Other reason might also be because it was not first designed to be published so it might be a bit hard to understand what's the purpose of all of the options... Anyway the point of this post is that I'm thinking about adapting the tool to a more recent system (read 5th edition) and by the way tune down the complexity of the thing...if anyone here has taken a look at the tool I'd like to know what could be done to make it better and user-friendly, what functionalities are really important and what is superfluous/not worth the hassle... (and bugs if any ^^) Thanks for the time taken to read this and thanks to anyone who provides a bit of feedback ;) The tool can be found under my profile in my resources (use the mediafire link instead of enworld's download the mediafire link is always more up to date for bugs...) [U]Edit:[/U] mediafire link [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/file/8bq33ropp8rl2cv/DM_tools.rar/file"]DM tools[/URL] enworld link [URL="https://www.enworld.org/resources/custom-dm-tool-in-excel.1564/"]Custom DM-tool in Excel[/URL] The mediafire link is updated more often than the enworld link for now!
