So I’m a software developer who has recently been having a really fun time running Burning Wheel. Probably too much fun. But being new to the game, and overly animated at the table, I have some trouble flipping through the book, and scanning through tables. Especially in the heated moments of a Fight or Duel of Wits.
So (being a bit inspired by Charred) I’ve put together a quick webapp to make some of that process easier for me.
Which can be found at:
https://bwfirestarter.herokuapp.com/#/
(I’m currently using the ‘free hosting’ on heroku, so some patience with the site might be required.)
Currently I made a quick pass over Fight!, and Duel of Wits. Though I’m currently trying to figure out a way I can represent Range and Cover (since my group might soon be involved in a ranged conflict).
But I am really curious if anyone else finds this even remotely useful. Right now it’s mainly intended for personal use, but if others find this kind of thing helpful, I’m not opposed to spending more time fleshing it out.
I also certainly don’t want to infringe on any intellectual property rights, so if anyone from BurningHQ legal wants me to take this down I will oblige in short order. It’s one of the reasons why currently I’ve only presented information that is included in the free PDFs available (Though if given the chance, I would love to build a quick ‘Garbled Transmission’ tool).
Anyway, long time lurker, just thought I’d share something and see if I can’t get some feedback.
EDIT:
Question: Are there systems or things that people would like to see added to a webapp?
