Access the app here: Mortals+

Hi everyone, I've pushed a few updates to Mortals+ since my last post. New features include:

1. Saved character sheets can now have tags and be sorted into folders.
2. Character sheets now have configurable watermarks with adjustable opacity. All of the Chronicles skull logos are included as well as the Prime symbol from Mage: The Ascension for translation guide mages. It also supports adding a custom watermark.
3. A new Storyteller Mode panel (see the second image) allows for managing multiple characters in a scene using compact versions of their sheets. The sheets in this panel are "instances" of the sheets made in the character builder, so it's ideal for running combat encounters where multiple copies of statblocks are running around. It also includes an initiative tracker.
4. An in-app data library editor (see the third image) for those that want to add content without messing with the json library directly.

This is likely the last feature update; the app feels mature now and it's about at the limit of what can comfortably run from one html file. If I make any further updates it will likely just be for adding new splats (though the CUSTOMIZATION_GUIDE file includes instructions on how to do that yourself if you're eager to run Fae-Touched for example). The community is free to do what they want with the code - add more splats, adapt it to other systems, etc. It's all available on GitHub.

Hi everyone, I* made an online character builder for Chronicles of Darkness that covers the main splats, a few half splats, and ephemeral entities:

Mortals+ — Chronicles of Darkness

It's meant to act as a customizable live play aid and a way to quickly generate character sheet PDFs (the first picture is how it looks live, the second is how the PDF looks). It has a few examples of each trait (Merits, Equipment, Rotes, etc) but it isn't meant to replace the rulebooks, so it will still require manually entering descriptions. I based the format for all the traits on how they're handled on the official character sheets. I don't have much knowledge of most of the splats beyond mortals, Hunter, and Mage so if it could be adjusted to accommodate those splats better I'd love to know.

*I say I made this with a heavy asterisk because while it started as my Python project, hosting it as a web-based application was better suited to HTML and Javascript. This is outside my expertise as a hobbyist so I had Claude convert it and my original code is basically nonexistent aside from the JSON structure. The code is all free to use on Github (see here) and I would absolutely appreciate if a real developer wanted to contribute to it.
