Ratings and reviews

I love this app, but the main draw for me was being able to make custom tables. I'd pay money for this if it ever got updated. Turns out you CAN add your own tables, but you'll have to go into the app's Github, find one of the raw table files from the build and open it up with something that works with .json files (like notepad) and edit the table to whatever you need it to be. I've done it successfully with several tables through trial and error. Tedious, but works.

Like the overall usefulness of this app however the big selling point was in the description for being able to add my own tables, and the pointed to link does not provide the required information, nor has the page been updated since Jan of 2019. If this oversight could be corrected easily would rank this 5 stars.

Lol... This app is dope. Lots of fun. Excellent free resource. My brother and I play together randomizing everything. It's how I've taught him to DM. We're both in our 40s. I've played for 25+ years, he just started and this app cracks us up. Thanks
