About Spellbound Tome

Hello! I’m Sera of Greenharbor in the kingdom of Polaris. This website is for my LARP app, for Amtgard: Sera’s Tome! Here, you can snag the .apk, use the Desktop browser version, or visit the version intended for mobile device display.

This is my passion project for Amtgard. At time of writing, I’ve poured around 500 hours into this project. I’m a game developer with experience ranging from indie to MMORPGs to a couple AAA action games. It’s got spell list builders, martial class calculators and information, monsters of Dor Un Avathar, a full spell book, review and reference materials, on-field spell tracking for backliners, incantation reference, flash cards, and more. It’s been a lot of work, but enjoyable–I’m a Wizard main, and it feels very wizard-y to make a magic tome that contains all things known throughout the lands of Amtgard! I plan to maintain this project indefinitely with improvements, new features, and updates with rules changes, as a way to give back to a community that has changed my life for the better.

When I started playing Amtgard, I was the very-unhealthy-skinny sort of nerd who literally struggled lifting a couple 12-packs of soda pop, and also dealt with severe germophobic OCD. Amtgard–including the amazing people I’ve met–gave me a reason to want to exercise and get stronger, and a motivation to go play outside in the dirt. And a community full of awesome people contributing to it makes me want to give back how I can, with the skills that I have!

Thank you for checking-out this passion project of mine. I hope it can help new players learn the game, be welcoming to new members of our community, and be a useful tool for any veteran players, too! If you have any comments, questions, feedback, or just want to say hello, find me on Discord zara9001 or the app’s Discord, or email at zaralstorch@gmail.com

Feature list, borrowed from the Play Store Page description:

• Comprehensive, interactive monster reference for Dor X and the Dor XI proposal!

• …And more, and more to come!

Whereas some other projects have gone for (respectable!) minimalism, my goal is a comprehensive, feature-rich tool with character, that feels fun to use, and that embodies the colorful passion of Amtgard.

I’ve made this with three big goals in mind–1.) Better learning tools 2.) Playtesting, and 3.) Long-term support:

I’ve made this app with three main goals in mind:

1. Better learning resources, for veteran players and new ones! This app is designed to be friendly, feature-rich, and to make the game as easy to understand as possible.You can click basically everything–not just Abilities–and immediately get a popup teaching you. There’s martial class calculators and exports to easily print out your class and build, including supporting Archetypes. There’s a full spell book, dedicated resource pages to highlight a specific area (weapon types, magic balls, different projectiles, states), and even a fun flashcard feature and a practice tool that generates different stick figures to practice casting Verbal magic at them!
2. Testing! Players need tools for playtests, too, so the tests are good ones. I keep this app up to date with the latest rules releases. Learning the new rules shouldn’t be a barrier to testing them, and I want to help reduce any of that difficulty. That also means that I may include large proposals into the app at times–the app will always contain the most up-to-date official rules and information, but that also means that I may include large proposals into the app at times, such as an ongoing effort for the new monster manual.
3. Long-term support! I see this project as an ongoing commitment and I don’t want to burn out. So, I’ve built it in a way that I can quickly update it. And even a full game overhaul would make this a strong starting point to create a new version.

Troubleshooting:

• • If the website is up and you can read this, then issues with loading are almost certainly on your end. Most issues with loading will be resolved by one of these troubleshooting steps:
    • Using an Incognito tab of your browser.
    • Clearing your browser’s cache. This is usually found under “browsing history” as an option, or under “privacy and security.” The one you need to clear is most likely “Cached images and files.”
    • Disabling your browser’s network cache–on Desktop Google Chrome, right click -> Inspect -> Network -> Checkbox for Disable Cache -> Refresh the page.
    • …or just waiting until server caches propagate/clear.

• Download your save data! The app saves data locally on your device. On the settings (wrench) page, you can download (on desktop) or copy to clipboard the save data to save it elsewhere. You can then import a valid save file from your clipboard. export them to your clipboard to paste anywhere for later. Be sure to back-up your save if there’s something you want! This feature also lets you copy save data from the Android app to browser and such.
