Release 28 is Live!

I'm still hard at work adding features as Patrons request them! The pace of incoming requests right now is perfect - I can keep on top of them and they seem to fill out a pretty decent release. In ...

Release 27 Update is Live!

This release was a long time in the making. This started as any other release until I discovered Wanderer's Guide - a similar tool but for Pathfinder 2e. I liked its layout a lot, and I was honestl...

Big PathCompanion Update Incoming! What you need to know:

Hey everyone! I wanted to prepare everyone for the next major release of PathCompanion, which will include some changes that everyone should be aware of.

In the next update, I'll be adding th...

PathCompanion Update

Hi everyone!

I haven't released a major update this year yet. I've made some minor updates, but to be honest I just needed a bit of a break. The pace of development was getting overwhelming f...

Release 26 is live!

Last release before the end of the year!

Some End-of-Year stats!

This year has been amazing for PathCompanion. The active user-base of the app has more than doubled since January thi...

Release 25 is out!

Sorry everyone for the delay. I think releasing once every month burnt me out a bit, so I ended up making this a 2-month release. That being said, this release is huge. I'm super excited about the ...

Crisis Averted!

Fortunately, Paizo has retracted their revocation of the Community Use Policy. That means development will continue as usual!

A note on Paizo's updates to the Community User License

Paizo has officially discontinued the Community Use License, instead creating something called the Fan Content Policy. ...

Release 24

This release is a bit smaller than other releases, but still full of some really fun stuff! There are fewer blockbuster features this release, and the Dice Rolling is more of a first-pass at the id...

Release 23 - Mythic!

This release has a bit fewer features than normal, simply because I was on vacation for a bit of the release, and Mythic took a bunch of work.

But, whoah, did I just say mythic?! Yep! That's ...

Release 22!

This was a fantastic release. The floodgates really opened up with allowing users to request archetypes. I've still got 75-or-so pending archetype requests to implement, but at least I know I'm imp...

Release 21

This was quite a release!

The big story of this release was the fact that I allowed users to request items and archetypes via the UI. As a result, I opened the floodgates and was never withou...

Release 20

Hi everyone! Release 20 is now live! This includes a ton of stability improvements, as I didn't want to tackle any big features during Paternity leave.

After the results of the poll about wha...

Paternity leave!

Hey everyone! My wife and I just welcomed a new baby into our household, which means I'm a little less free to work on PathCompanion for the next 6 weeks. Before the baby, I made sure to get the ap...

Release 19

I haven't updated this in a while because I'm more active in my Discord, and I guess I kind of took for granted that everyone who was interested in the progress of this project was on the discord. ...

Progress Update: Spells!

This update has been a long time coming. With the holidays, real-life priorities, and a general sense of slogging through a tough feature, it looks like not much has gotten done si...

Spells! Or, what exactly is low-hanging fruit?

I've taken a quick break from archetypes to work on spells. Unfortunately, spells require the most patience from me, and sometimes they're hard to focus on for long periods of time.

This is m...

Archetypes, Archetypes, Archetypes...

The long journey toward implementing all archetypes has begun. Prioritization of what to implement first was difficult. Fortunately, I found that PathBuilder, which was the inspiration for this pro...

Nominate PathCompanion for the wiki!

Hi everyone,

A humble request: the Pathfinder_RPG subreddit takes nominations to add links to their wiki. If you could, please upvote my request for PathCompanion to be added to the online to...

Release 2 - All General Feats Done! (sort of)

This past month has been amazing. I've gotten over 600 people to use PathCompanion, although new signups have slowed to a crawl. If you have any ideas for forums through which I can share PathCompa...

Thoughts on the Character Creation Wizard

So last week I released the character creation wizard. It only shows up if your character doesn't have a name or a class, and currently there's no way to open it if you already have a name and clas...

What next?

I've made a first pass at all the General feats. I have a few options for what to do next, and I want to get the community's thoughts on what you all think is most interesting. So, vote away!

Release week update

What a week! I announced PathCompanion on Friday and already have over 480 total accounts created. With that, I've gotten the opportunity to see how people use the app, and I've learned a few impor...

What am I working on right now?

Right now, I'm working on implementing or deciding to punt on all feats. I estimate I'll be done with this in around 2 weeks. I can average about 50 feats done per day. Sometimes more if I have mor...

Progress So Far

PathCompanion is obviously a work-in-progress. I wanted to make a list of what is and isn't implemented so people will know whether or not they can make the character they have in mind as things st...

The Red Bar O' Death!

This can't be good.

PathCompanion is a work-in-progress. There are bugs. When ...

The Anatomy of a Card

There's a lot going on in a card, so I wanted to post this to help you all understand how i...

An Overview of PathCompanion

Well, here we go. This is the first time I've ever made anything myself that I ever thought someone else would want to use. Hopefully as this project becomes more mature, it will be considered the ...
