Hey everyone,

I have been looking into Daggerheart (a new TTRPG currently in open beta) since the playtest and I am loving it. I ran a few combat simulations and I enjoyed the variety.

However I noticed as a GM in combat, there is a lot to keep track of. I have ADHD so I struggled a lot. I hope Demiplane releases an encounter builder for daggerheart soon. For now, I built myself a small digital tool to help with this when I will run a game for friends soon.hese are the features at the moment:

- Action tokens tracking

- Fear Tokens tracking

- Countdown tracking

- Monsters statblocks (only the ones from the quick start adventure) with attack and damage rolls built in.

- Responsive UI on a wide range of screens including mobile devices

- A quick overview of the GM moves rules + combat tips

- Client side app, everything happens in the browser and will be lost once you close the tab.

It's purely tailwindcss and stimulus js to keep it simple. the codebase is a html file sprinkled with some styling and a small js file. deployed the app via Github pages. I'd appreciate feedback about UX, design, bugs, or responsiveness issues. Thanks!
