“The Game Master creates the conditions in which heroism becomes possible” I really enjoyed reading this article from Sean Francis - he painted a beautiful picture on the role of game masters that I will take into my next session!

Star Wars D6 Character Generator

Free
The Star Wars D6 Character Generator is a web app for creating characters, droids, ships, vehicles, and NPCs for the Star Wars D6 2nd Edition Revised & Expanded System and REUP. All data is stored locally in the browser and can be exported and imported as JSON. The application can be used entirely locally and offline. With a hosted installation, user accounts are also available. These allow you to share created characters, droids, ships, and other content with other users. (Requires an account) You can also create gaming groups where players can submit their character sheets to the game master for approval. (Requires an account) All you need to create an account is a username and password. Special thanks go to Chance Gibboney. Without his Character Generator Excel spreadsheets, the idea for this project would likely never have come about. His spreadsheets were used by the developer and his gaming group for many years and formed the basis for the development of the web application. The project is actively being developed and is available on GitHub under the MIT license

MageHand — an Android tracker for 5e, standalone or DiceCloud-synced The stuff you poke fifteen times an hour at the table — slots, HP, resources — deserves to be one tap away on your phone. MageHand does that two ways: Standalone, no account. Create a character on the device and run it: HP, custom resource rows, your own abilities with use counts and costs, rests that reset the right things. Nothing to sign up for, no server, no network. If you don't use DiceCloud at all, the app still works. Or synced to DiceCloud v2. Sign in to dicecloud.com or your own self-hosted instance (you enter the server URL) and the tracker builds itself from your sheet, live in both directions. What's in it Tracker — spell slots, class resources (rage, ki, wild shape, inspiration…), hit dice, HP with temp HP, death saves, concentration, conditions, resistances/immunities. One tap to spend, undo on everything, short/long rest buttons that reset exactly what the sheet says they reset, with a badge on each row telling you which rest touches it. Inventory — collapsible sections, equip/unequip, move items between containers, wallet summary, search, sort by weight/value/name. Actions & spells — what your character can do, by level and prepared/known, with attack and damage modifiers resolved, weapon mastery lines surfaced, and a "Use" button that spends the slot or charge for you. Full sheet (synced mode) — the DiceCloud web UI embedded and already signed in, so the character creator and anything not yet native is right there. DM view (synced mode) — live trackers for a whole party on one screen plus a read-only feed of who spent what and who rested. Built for a tablet. Offline — the last synced sheet stays readable with no connection. Customizable — pin/hide/reorder tracker rows and inventory sections, per-character accent colour and portrait, configurable tab order, UI scale from 70% to 150%. What it needs: Android 11 (API 30) or newer. Nothing else unless you want sync — and then your credentials only mint a login token you can revoke, stored encrypted in the Android Keystore. What it doesn't do: no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting, no account of its own, nothing sent anywhere but the DiceCloud server you chose. Licensed GPLv3, same as DiceCloud itself, so code can flow either way with upstream.
