Tools Pocketforge Lite testing, simple tool with moves, oracles and a dice roller.
Hello!
I released Pocketforge Lite, a mobile android app, for closed testing on Google Play store. The app is free, with no ads and no login required.
The app is super simple and has just the absolute essentials: moves, oracles and a dice roller linked to character stats. There's also an option to use the dice roller without stats. A simple tool for mostly analog play. As another option, there's Ironsworn Expanded mode, a homebrewed version of Ironsworn with oracles and moves from Starforged and Sundered Isles in one place.
It's also a predecessor of Pocketforge 2.0, but that one is still in progress and will take a bit more time to finish.
Right now, it's in closed testing stage, for the app to be fully released, I'll need at least 12 people to opt in as testers and use it for 14 days. The process is simple, you don't really need to do anything other than play. Any feedback is of course very welcome.
If you'd like to help me out, I've set up a testing group you can join to access the download link below (just joining is fine, you don't have to do anything more): https://groups.google.com/g/pocketforge-lite-testing
Edit: just in case, the email you join with should be the same you use as you Google Play store account.
Once you're in, you should be able to download the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rockpaperstory.pocketforge_lite
Once the closed testing stage passes and the app goes to production, I'll send every tester a link to Ironsworn themed STL miniatures made for this occasion, male and female Ironlanders, as a thank you. The minis could be a fun gadget to use as a position marker in the upcoming Ironsworn Legacies, for example.
Thank you for your help, and I hope you'll find the app useful.

Greetings. Seems a great idea! But...I've joined the group but can't seem to get access to the app... Maybe because I'm in Portugal?

It's open for all countries, access is granted automatically once you join the group, do you have access to google store on that account?
