What is Reddit's opinion of DM Screen?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

It's true that I'm pretty busy!

I also agree that the DM screen was a really good implementation. It's the AWeD Software one, if I recall. (It's the one on my phone anyway.) Here's the Android Play Store link.

I'd never really envisioned my bot being anything other than live-on-Reddit. Honestly, it was just a weekend project because I half wanted to learn the Reddit API and have a completed Python project to add to my portfolio. (Although the code has degraded into chaos a bit again... I should refactor...) I am delighted on the daily that people use it as much as they do.

> i love the bot, i just wish it had more functionality, [...]

Do you have any suggestions? There are a few technical things I'd like to do, like chaining comments instead of just cutting off when a message gets too long, better handling of errors, maybe explaining what went wrong instead of "Oh no I couldn't figure this message out."

There are some other minor features that I'd like to do sometime -- maybe some matching so you can say "roll this, don't roll that, roll this three times" -- but none of that really address the issue of resolving archived posts. Other than an off-line version, what would you want out of the bots? Because I can't really think of an on-Reddit solution other than resolving links. Then again, I'm backend and not UI design.

Hi folks, I love all of the work that has been put into these tables, I created an free Android App around these tables, so DMs can have a mobile use of them. You can find the app on the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awedsoftware.dungeonsanddragonsrandomtables

This app (idk for IOS) has a lot of very good list and it can roll from them for you. Contents come directly from r/BehindTheTables

Do you mean this one or that one? They are listed on the wiki. Not sure if you are after something else.

This app (idk for IOS) has a lot of tables from r/BehindTheTables included the potion's table you used.

I find it very useful and I suggest it! Not to diminish your work, great job.

Not my app, but I am a fan.

DM Screen is a great Android app for the tables in /r/BehindTheTables

There's lots of existing tools in the random generator space.

• Inspiration Pad Pro http://www.nbos.com/products/inspiration-pad-pro (desktop and app)
• Abulafia http://www.random-generator.com/ (web)
• Perchance https://perchance.org/welcome (web)
• DM Screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awedsoftware.dungeonsanddragonsrandomtables (app)
• Ramanan S's web-apps: http://save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/web-apps/ (web)
• Purple Sorcerer's Crawler's Companion: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.crawlers (app -- character generator, reference tools, dice roller, etc)

As someone with an app that's been mentioned (Adventuresmith), there's lots of tools already out there. Don't get discouraged by there being similar apps. Figure out what you can bring fresh eyes to, and have fun! Build something you want to use.

For random generators... a killer feature not many apps have is allowing users to able to create their own generators (perchance, abulafia, inspiration pad are some of the few).

DM Screen (Android app by /u/DarthCluck)

I think it is DM Screen for Android.

Some generator apps/websites:

Abulafia http://www.random-generator.com/ tons and tons of generators, and it's easy-ish to create your own generators

Inspiration Pad Pro http://www.nbos.com/products/inspiration-pad-pro android & desktop app, supports user-created content

DM Screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awedsoftware.dungeonsanddragonsrandomtables this one is mostly for the great tables at /r/BehindTheTables, but also has a fun dice roller and lets you save & modify individual parts of your mutli-table-roll

Adventuresmith https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.steavesea.adventuresmith -- (self-promotion alert, this is my app) This Android app has generators for Stars Without Number, The Perilous Wilds, Maze Rats, and a few other sandbox-y supplements & systems. I've just barely started putting the tables from /r/BehindTheTables into it. My next big development push is going to be making it easier for users to add their own tables into the app, but that's months away.

Not sure if you're planning a desktop app, or mobile. There are a few apps out there already, they might fit your needs (or you could use them as a survey for what other developers/users have found useful).

A desktop app: http://www.nbos.com/products/inspiration-pad-pro

A couple fun ones for Android:

DM Screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awedsoftware.dungeonsanddragonsrandomtables&hl=en -- generators from /r/BehindTheTables, it also lets you re-roll separate bits of each generator and save things, and the dice roller is a lot of fun

RPG Generator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrgreaper2004gmail.rpggenerator&hl=en

InspirationPad https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbos.inspirationpadpro3&hl=en

Adventuresmith https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.steavesea.adventuresmith&hl=en (bias warning, this is my app). It has generators for a few different systems/supplements, but most of the generators produce output that's relatively system-neutral

I was sort of hoping a kind redditor would do that for me, but I guess not

Here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awedsoftware.dungeonsanddragonsrandomtables

Here is a rather shameful link to the app

Enjoy!
