About the adventure
It's 2023. Does your game have an App? Concept: Provide an entry point for GMs and Players to learn about creating their own apps, as well as a weekly learning opportunity for folks as they develop their own apps. Prerequisites: NO CODING REQUIRED. You have a Google Drive/Gmail. No further expenses are required, everything taught in the course uses free Google Cloud resources. This one-hour seminar includes all the basics of using rapid-deploy no-code development tools to build an app for every game you run! If this is your first time taking a seminar, I teach GMs and players how to make apps for games they care about. I use my background in enterprise platforms, project management, and cloud development tools that are typically reserved for Fortune 500 companies to put the most cutting-edge technology in the hands of players. Imagine the enjoyment of sending your new players a link to your game's shiny new app when they book your services. Each week, we discuss projects we've seen or are working on. We will go over the basics of setting up a live app that tracks gold balances, purchases, and inventory of each party member in a game, dice rollers, character builders, NPC encyclopedias (that directly query World Anvil using APIs, if you feel daring). The limit is your imagination!
