launching the Inspiration beta!

Like a lot of folks, I’ve been cooped up inside with no D&D, which made me decide 2 things:

1) now is finally the time to release my free 5e Inspiration app beta
2) it should support solo play.

Beta 1 will include dungeon adventures only, from levels 1 to 7. It will support any number of players from 8 all the way down to 1. 5e Inspiration is designed as a DM aid, but it can also be used as a DM replacement if you don’t have another player on hand. The app gives you dungeons full of locations and encounters; you just have to run the battles yourself.

Here are the questions to think about when you try on the beta:

1) Is it clear how to use the app? Are there any user interface elements that are confusing?
2) Could you easily find all the information you need to run battles, traps, and other encounters?
3) How is solo D&D? Is the balance good? Any player deaths? Did you get rich?
4) Any bugs?

I’ll be sending out beta invitations this week. A few days later, I’ll send out a survey.

I hope this app gives you some D&D fun even if the pandemic is keeping you from doing other fun things you’d like to do. And I hope you’re well, and safe.
