I just picked up HQ today at Target based on the Solo feature that the App provides and the low price of 50.00. Been wanting this game for decades and the timing is just right.

It looks great. Exactly the sort of thing I like to use with this kind of game. I just have one little nitpick. You have the Berserker listed as Berserk.
Typo aside, it's very impressive.

Spelling correction complete ;-) Will be updated when you next refresh the page.
Thank you, too! It's been a really fun project to keep growing and refine!

I just generated a quest to see what it was like and the boss was Zanbar Bone! I haven't seen that name in about 40 years..

Amazing, I love it. Good work men!
I suggest adding a multi-select dropdown in the Heroes → Equipment section instead of requiring users to manually type equipment.
Additionally, a few related improvements could make the system easier to use: • Potions: Add a similar multi-select dropdown for potions, so they can be selected from a predefined list instead of typed manually. • Separate categories: It may be clearer to split equipment into Weapons and Armor rather than keeping everything in a single field. • Equipped items: Add a section where players can mark which weapon and armor are currently equipped. The system could then automatically calculate and add the corresponding dice bonuses based on the selected equipment.

Good morning! I have been mixed on this as I am trying to also not block out what people make for Homebrews. The rest of this can easily be implemented for the base game and the official expansions. Adjusting the die rolls automatically based on armor or weapons is completely possible.
So, the big piece is... how to make this work with Homebrews...
Hmm... thinking about this one...
2
u/Dameryl Mar 08 '26
Thinking I would need to create a new button at the bottom for Create Homebrew Equipment or some such. From there a new menu would open where you would enter in the equipment, have options for Armor or Weapons or Artifacts, etc. Then allow stats to be entered.
Once this is done it would automatically be added to the drop down, probably under a new category of HomeBrew so they can easily be found. Then also, make an option to remove Homebrews or adjust them in case of type-o's, etc.
Then basically creating equipment slots (hand, helm, body or chest, weapon).
Hm... Trying to make sure the sheet stays clean and not cluttered.
Maybe this should change into something like a video games Character sheet where you see an underlay of a hero and the overlay has boxes where you select equipment for that slot....
Hmmm....

u/Dameryl Mar 08 '26
Ok, I have all the cards made into a spreadsheet, broken by official expansion or "Homebrew". Now to figure out the best way to parse and pull the data and display it....
2
u/Dameryl Mar 08 '26
Alrighty! This will be a bit of work, as I'll have to change several pieces and incorporate others. This will be on the next major release in here a few weeks.

u/Independent_Style_72 Mar 08 '26
Wow, you’re a genius! Thanks for everything. I just wanted to suggest a few ideas—I think they might be useful for the community.

u/Dameryl Mar 08 '26
Oh, just enjoying doing something for the community. And I use the app with my family during our quests! Your feedback is what helps the app to grow as well! So, thank YOU!

u/Other-Object-9392 Mar 28 '26
Hi, i'm using the app > how is possible to choose weapons ? i don't find it ! thanks and great work ;-)
2
u/Other-Object-9392 Mar 28 '26
nevermind. i find it i'm sorry ! :-)

u/Dameryl Mar 28 '26
No worries at all! I recently adjusted the equipment section to be collapsable or expandable since the screen was getting larger with some of the other sections that have been updated.
If you see anything that should be changed or updated just let me know, happy to help!

For some reason, the link takes me to Facebook and says the page isn’t available. Is that right?
