IronWriter is an open-source writing tool for solo playthroughs of the free tabletop RPG Ironsworn. Focus on writing your story and let IronWriter automatically manage your character sheet.

ironwriter's Issues

Add syntax snippets dropdown field to aide new users

Hi! I think it could be helpful to allow the Stat, Status, etc. values to be directly editable (as in a form field), as well as editable via the story input. Perhaps to keep this the same "shape" as the in-line-story-updates, these direct edit events could create a log item noting what changed. (I haven't looked at the code so I'm not sure if it's important for all events to be in the log, but I assume it is, since there re-writable history concept there).
I love a good keyboard-based workflow and really dig the way the stats change directly as a result of log items, but I think learning the syntax could be a bit of a hurdle for new users.

Perhaps another solution would be to provide clickable "syntax snippets" near the entry field such that someone could click a change health button and have a templated syntax appear in the log entry field that they can then edit. like [health +0].

To be clear, I'm referring to basically all of the values in the left sidebar.

Vows/Bonds/Progress automatically create bookmarks

Once #8 is implemented, it would be nice to be able to click on a vow/bond/progress and be taken to where it was initially started.

Burn momentum

Burn momentum and automatically set momentum to reset value. Could be implemented as a tag and/or a button near the momentum stats on the character sheet.

Fix rolls showing hits when action score ties challenge dice

As shown on pp. 8 and 18 of the Ironsworn rulebook, an action score must be greater than one of the challenge dice to score a hit.
However, in the current version, this is not true.


Those results should have both been misses.

The error is in the calculation of hits in the RollAction considering a roll a Miss only if the result is LOWER than both of the challenge dice.

Asset management

Add the ability to track and upgrade assets. Assets and their current status should be shown on a character sheet card. Upgrading an asset only works if you have enough unspent experience and automatically spends experience. Should support any asset so that people can add custom ones. Each asset should track perk pips and meta data (companion health/name, ironclad options, etc).

NPC tracker

Would be nice to have a list of NPCs with descriptions, notes, and current location.

Progress rolls

Add a dice roll button next to progress tracks to do action roll +progress. This will require refactoring the progress system a bit so that edits to progress tags update subsequent rolls correctly.

Insert/reorder events

Right now you can delete existing events, but you can't insert new ones into the history. This would add a button that allows the user to insert an event in between two existing events. Could be a hidden button that appears between two events when hovered over.

Button to expand/collapse character sheet cards

Add button (hidden until hovered over?) in card headers that expands/collapses cards.

Plot call back oracle table

Add a tag that lets users add entries into a custom table that can be rolled against. Results can be used to during narrative twists to callback to a previous moment in the story.

Unable to export session on Firefox

I am really enjoying the software so far, yet when I try to save clicking the export session nothing pops up.

No visual difference between experience and experienceSpent

When I dive into the code it looks like the displayed is always the one with spent, like if [experience x] act as [experienceSpent x], and the later don't work.

Story export

Add a button for those who like to share their sessions that exports the data in a user friendly format. Maybe markdown or html? Add options to show/hide meta events.

Any string for a debility can be used. It wont show up as a debility but it will still affect momentum.

Bookmark System

Bookmark events so that you can quickly jump to them later. This should add some sort of new menu that is popup or hidden that contains a list of bookmarks. Individual events should have a new button on them that toggles a bookmark.

Data exports should be named after the character

Tag redesign

Maybe once we type the tags using the usual square-bracket syntax and submit the event. The actual event block has different stylings for the tag. Currently, the tags look kind of ugly in the events and it would look better if the tags had some kind of design when submitted.

Ability to manually specify a modifier before doing an action roll

Currently you can only roll without modifiers or against a stat. However there are some situations where you will want to roll with an arbitrary answer e.g. a strong hit of Secure an Advantage.

Confirmations for destructive operations

Currently event deletion and starting a new session do not show a confirmation dialog. To prevent accidental data loss, these actions should show a prompt to confirm their actions.

Action Roll not working

Perhaps I don't know how to modify it. But when I pick a progress to roll the action die only rolls zeros. If I do not pick a progress it rolls normally.

Dropbox Support

Allow users to import/export directly to their Dropbox.

Dropbox Javascript API

Interactive map

Large idea: would be great if there was an interactive map that could be opened to add pins/labels to mark locations. Could potentially also track NPC locations. Could this be affected by markup in events?

Add custom meta events

Currently only dice and oracle rolls are styled as "meta" events. Would be nice to allow the user to swap between these two event types when entering content so that they can add meta notes such as the choices they asked themselves on a roll, general notes, etc.

Add ability to remove items and assets

As mentioned in #25, there should be a way to remove items that you no longer need e.g. ones that have 0 quantity.

Additionally assets should be removable as well as assets can be removed during normal play e.g. "Slain Companions" section in the official rulebook.

Dark theme

For those who like to play at night.

Roll UI is broken

The roll UI is currently not being rendered properly. Possibly caused by an update to material components.

Inventory management

Add a tag that tracks items/quantity in a character sheet card.

[item "Arrow"]
[item "Arrow" -1]

Wrong font used on Firefox + Linux

Firefox, on openSuse linux, with the KDE desktop.

Markdown support

Add support for markdown formatting within event cards.

Asset management

I could just be misunderstanding things, but even the example in the documentation of how to use Ironwriter doesn't seem to work when adding assets to your character. To my understanding, I am to add an asset using the following format [asset Ritualist 1], the 1 being to add the first little pip to the asset. I am able to add an asset using [asset Ritualist], but when I add the 1 it clears the asset from my character's info. This tool is really interesting and I'd love to use it more but it's difficult to do so at this moment.

Callout events when they have syntax errors

Currently any syntax errors silently fail. Would be nice to have some sort of error indicator that conveys information about the error.

Negative momentum automatically throws away action die

When you have negative momentum, the action die should be automatically thrown away on subsequent rolls.
