“One of the coolest fan made apps ever.”

— Nathan Hajek - Designer on Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition

What?

When you played through a campaign for Descent 2nd Edition, all you had to work with, was this:

I felt that was pretty lacking, so I ended up developing a website where you could:

• track multiple campaigns for multiple gaming groups
• see all kind of stats regarding quests (like balance), items classes
• find monsters for encounters matching certain criteria
• see FAQ & errata where applicable

Campaign overview

Campaign overview lists all quests played, which items and skills were bought after the quest, which monsters we used, …

Player overview

Shows a player’s items and gear. With some logic to determine which items are equiped, as they are reflected in the stats (like health and dice).

Stats

The site offers a whole bunch of stats like quest balance, monster usage, hero and class combinations, …

Monster Finder

Allows an overlord to find the most fitting monster for an encounter. Allows filtering of monsters based on applied condtions, attribute tests, min-max health or speed values, …

Usage

At the time of writing it has been used by 3355 groups, which is more than I ever expected when I made this.

Tech

• custom PHP and Bootstrap
• featured a translation system so other languages could be managed by editors
• is exactly what you might expect when a beginner frontend dev also does all the backend stuff in PHP.
