Good, effective app. Not a game, but a supp to a Warhammer 40k adaptation to dungeons and dragons
Looks like a solid app however, I'm noticing a possible discrepancy in the characteristic rolling system. My + characteristics are almost consistantly rolling lower than my - characteristic which suggests to me that something might be noodled in the rolling mechanism. Wonder if the individual dice rolls and cancelations can be shown during character creation which would eliminate any confusion.
This app was everything I was looking for in a character builder. I thank the developers for their hard work and their continued development of this product.
This app is fantastic. I downloaded to expedite the character creation process for everyone in my party, and it removes a lot of the busywork -- specifically juggling 4 books at once when adding any features from them. A bit pricey, but it's a fantastic time saver. I highly recommend it to anyone who runs Dark Heresy games with all three expansions -- player and master alike. Sure, they're in app purchases, but with the new books Character Creation can take bloody hours. Not so with this app. My only nitpick so far -- it seems the devs missed a spot! Minor Psychic Powers that were included in the Enemies Within expasion don't show up in the psychic power database. A minor inconvenience (most people opt for full blown powers anyway), but it could stand to be added in at some point.
Other character generators should study this as prime example of its kind. Never be more happier to pay for a app.
I honestly bought this because in my group I drew the short straw. One of the best char sheets I've ever seen. Also the only one actually worth paying for. I got the main app and both supplements and don't regret it all. If you play this game regularly I highly recommend it.
The issue resolved itself. Still an amazing system, though you might want to throw in instructions for people who redownload to reload the application before using it again.
Some font rendering issues. Overall better than others out there.
Fantastic App, does everything it promises and more. My only "complaint" is that its an app and not a program i can run on my laptop. lol
Great app, works perfectly, and that's what has me worried. What's gonna happen when GW takes the license back from FFG?
My one critique would be the ability to print out a PDF of all the text that I type in or that is generated when you make a new character. Even if it's just a separate page, that would be very helpful. Other than that, great work. Edit: I'm sorry, I should have been clearer, I found the export PDF function is lacking the ability to print out all the descriptive text for talents, Psyker powers, etc. If those descriptions could be included, perhaps in a separate page, that would be great!
Been using this app for about 10 months. Took a little while to get used to finding the stuff you needed but after a while it's so easy and means you don't need a physical character sheet. Only downside is its not on windows 10 as I'd happily buy it again
A great app use it alot for 2 games. One i run, and one i play. However the last update deletes all my files :( and i know it did for almost all my groups.
I hesitated at the price but bought it anyway and I'm glad I did. It is very well designed and implemented, makes generating dark heresy characters a breeze and has all the book generation variants. The app is great, totally worth the price.
The DH theme is present throughout the app, which is great. There is a small learning curve that needs to be overcome to take full advantage of the app. The devs seem like they're working hard on improvements, which is always a good sign.
This is the only good character generator for DH2 that I've found, and it's totally worth the price
When I first downloaded this, the app itself was great but the generate a pdf function wasn't working for some reason. Emailed the devs and they came back to me the same day. After a few emails back and forth and an update later, boom, was all working perfectly. I wish all app devs were as good at customer service as these guys.
Seriously, if you play DH2ndEd, this has everything in one package. It even has a die roller integrated and can network with other players if they too own the app. This is worth the money. Only mild complaint is the cloud backup doesn't seem to work. I have to copy the character file between devices manually. EDIT: Also, the developer is VERY quick with replies! Wasn't expecting that. Certainly going on my "favourites to watch" list. Any plans on doing character sheets for other games?
About 80% of the time when rolling stats (tested on Highborn and Default stats) the minus stat would come out higher than the plus stats. I understand random number generation, but when rolling 3 10 sided dice and taking the lowest 2 consistently comes out higher than taking the higher 2 it seems obviously bugged.
Easy to use and well presented. Hoping to see Enemies Without added soon. Would like it more if it would add Divination results to your character but its not a deal breaker by any means.
Great app, could use work, a lot of which has already been mentioned in other posts. Waiting for next update with Enemies Without and for some of the tweaks to come in. Love it though!
This is a pretty comprehensive character sheet with nice gaming tools. I look forward to more comprehensive table top tools. Good start here. I will say that maybe there should be a quick instruction video on YouTube with a link inside the app.
I can't get the multiply to work. I'm connected to WiFi and it won't connect to the server. Other than that the app is amazing.
If it had Enimies Without and Beyond it'd be perfect.
Can be better IMO. I have tried several times to restore/repurchase a the last 2 supplements and I have not been able to get this to work I have done everything that I know. From syncing it to my PC and going in remote through my phone to accomplish this with same result of unable to complete the process. I have used a tablet to try and to see if it is my phone and it's the same result. I have tried using the way round about way to navigate through my X Box's browser and still the same results.
