Tools Year in Review

Last summer we had a very successful yearly Purple Sorcerer Tools Fundraiser. I can't tell everyone how much I appreciated not having to worry about hosting or app store publishing costs over the last 12 months: my health has impacted the family finances and your kind support truly helped! Thank you.

And despite the challenges, I'm pleased we managed to make some nice progress on the tools front in the last year:

  • Launched the Sorcerer's Grimoire spellbook creation utility (the #1 requested item from last year's donor poll)
  • Added Mercurial Magic to the upcoming Crawler's Companion update (A stand-alone web version of the MM generator will be arriving shortly.)
  • Posted numerous updates to the Character and Tourney Generators. (The Tourney Generator will be receiving its own page so you will be able to easily select from the growing list of tourney style adventures out there.)

It's so gratifying to see sheets from the tools showing up almost every day in pics from DCC events around the world. The 0-Level party generator is quietly counting up every sheet, and at some point in the not too distant future the one-millionth serf will roll off the line, complete with a special Willy Wonka style golden character sheet. :)

Continuing Support

Finally, even though we raised enough last year that I'm not doing an official fund raiser for 2015, if you feel inclined to continue supporting the free tools, any and all donations will be warmly received! Every $350 raised covers an additional year of hosting/store costs, and there's always another development tool/gizmo/subscription to swallow up additional funds. Thanks again to everyone who continues to support Purple Sorcerer Games!
