Trial of Valor

This is a companion app for a prototype board game called Trial of Valor. The game is based on the concept of the Talisman game and expands on its ideas. The app helps with micromanagement, which is somewhat problematic in board games played IRL. It serves as a game master and a virtual character sheet with a quest log.

You can check out the app here or download it as a single HTML file from the releases.

Features

• The single multipurpose companion app for online and offline use;
• Game Master mode serves as a NPC controller;
• Character Manager mode manages character sheet and quests;
• Deck Preview shows all cards in the deck (and you can print them);

The Game Master should be running on the one 'main' device and the Character Manager should be running on separate devices, e.g., smartphones.
