Introduction

Minion Manager's focus is on retaining information from players between sessions. This app is meant to be used alongside other applications or pen/paper methods. The app provides an 'at a glance' representation of the most important information players have to offer while removing their ability to tamper with the data between sessions.

How it Works

Record Player Data

For each member of the campaign there's a block with their player name, statsheet link, email address, session number, experience, and current loot. Fill in the fields and update them when needed.

Keep track of progress

A sneaky rouge claims an item is in their inventory after the last session. It's been a few weeks so you can't remember if they're telling the truth. With Minion Manager you can quickly check their playersheet through the link they've given you, OR in the 'Current Loot' section see if you've placed it last time. Things like session count, exp tracking, and email addresses all provide a quick method of getting player information without providing players an open method of manipulating the data between sessions.
