Heir of Smoke - D&D twine supplement

Image
I watched my kid struggle running D&D for their friends and I thought "How can I make this easier?" I present the Heir of Smoke. Heir of Smoke is a D&D adventure or supplement written in Twine, with some cool features. It has HP tracking javascript sliders, right there in line. This way you don't have to keep a separate piece of scratch paper. Random Encounters built into the twine logic Attack macros, so you can just tap the button and get a random D20 value and damage, custom tailored to the monster of course. A little 'read aloud' css style that puts text in a nice tan box.

After that, the third is what is motivating you to do something, and the fourth indicates what will help you achieve success. Fate couldn’t have dealt me cards that perfectly describes my situation, and yet here they were. Maybe my life is complicated enough that I could have applied these cards to several portions of my life. Yet, it’s hard not to believe in magic when it's sitting right in front of you. Five Page Dungeons are a storytelling shorthand applied to tabletop games.
