Hot tip: use Character Craft for your digital character sheet! (lemy.nl)

I used to use Fight Club 5e to track my character, but that hasn't been updated in a long time. I recently found another app that's in active development, and I'm becoming a big fan!

It's called Character Craft and it has a version for Android, iOS as well as a web version(!).

And where on DnD Beyond you have to pay for any other sources, here you can just load in a set of XML files that you get here: https://github.com/vidalvanbergen/FightClub5eXML

And that should get you all you need. Of course, the downside is that this is not FOSS. But at least the developer is very active and responds very quickly to bug reports and feature requests.

I love it when they ask for a credit card first thing to create an account.

[–] toothpaste_sand@lemy.nl 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Huh? I never had to give any credit card information to create an account. Where are you seeing this?

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It prompted me to make an account and that's when it asked for credit card info. Apparently the sync requires purchase, but it looks like it can be used without that functionality.

Oh, for sure. In fact, you can export your characters and import them again on other devices, if you don't want to make an account. I use Android and never had any credit card request pop up, maybe that's an iOS thing?

But, yeah, the only function of an account is to enable sync between devices... As far as I know.

Even better when you need it on each platform (especially for easy character sync), and no option to even use it in a browser if you pay for it

[–] toothpaste_sand@lemy.nl 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are we talking about the same app? I can use it in my browser no problem 🤔

[–] goferking0 1 points 2 days ago

You can use it but it immediately had certain functionality not available in browser when going to it.

Along with needing to pay per device type for those features leaves poor taste when considering using

Is there a web version?

[–] toothpaste_sand@lemy.nl 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There is! But I notice the button for it doesn't show up on the mobile site 🤔

Here you go: https://character-craft-5-5e.web.app/

[–] goferking0 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But the premium parts aren't available in the web site?

[–] toothpaste_sand@lemy.nl 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have never had any of the parts I use not work in the browser 🤷

Perhaps some of the DM tools? I haven't tried using those, yet.

[–] goferking0 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What do I get with Premium?

With Premium (Unlimited Characters), you gain access to:

Creating more than 3 characters
Online Initiative Tracker
Cloud Sync to save and sync characters across platforms
Character Sharing (Receive characters shared by others)
Ad-free

Note: Premium is required per platform, except for Mac and iOS which share the same store. How does Premium work on the Web Version?

Purchases are not available on the Web Version. If you bought the Premium version on Windows, Apple, or Android and have characters saved in the cloud, your Premium access will be automatically unlocked upon login.

Otherwise, you can enjoy the free features, including the Online Initiative Tracker.

OP says so, but i couldn't find it. Maybe @toothpaste_sand@feddit.nl could clarify?

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They also mention it in their docs, but there's no link to it...

EDIT: Found it! Its only available on Desktop
