Hello everyone!
I've built a mobile-first web-app to help with reading/playing the gamebooks of Arkham Horror.
It has a full character list, a book entry tracker and virtual dice to roll.
The app saves your progress automatically in the browser's local storage, so it's safe to reload a page. Important note: some browsers might clear local storage from time to time so if you want to make sure your progress is saved, use manual save, it will produce a JSON file with your data that you can load later on even on a different device.

Let me know what you think!

So, I've been unemployed since last June, thanks to gov't cutbacks. Needless to say things are a bit tight, and we're pushing hard to get rid of our storage unit ASAP. Not asking for charity, but if you could take a look at my auctions, I would appreciate it.

Anybody winning 2+ auctions of mine will get 10% off your total order.

My BGG collection is like 99% up to date; if I have anything under "for trade" you're interested in, let me know via DM. Because we're trying to clear out space, trades are a little counter productive. (Use filters to make it easy on yourself.)

I'm very late to this, but I think some earlier comments hit on a fascinating aspect of this question. Among all the talk of player agency, we freely accept constraints from the rules on physical, magical, and mental capabilities but tend to rebel at any constraint on choices. Generally, I'm in that camp too, seeing the rules as being there to interpret how the world pushes back on my character once they've chosen a course of action. My low intelligence character should still be free to choose to attempt emergency surgery on their ally, no matter how unwise, and no matter how strongly they believe it's doomed to fail.

That said, in my solo games (admittedly a related but parallel hobby to RPGs with friends) I use player emulation with belief statements frequently. Many solo oracles have words of estimative probability built in that map nicely to belief statements, like "Rock is very likely to use ranged combat", "Moss is almost certain to steal anything not locked down". Typically, I don't use these all the time. But in solo games they create the opportunity for characters to surprise me, and that's fun.

The kind of product to avoid even if you get a six-finger discount.
