Digital Elements in the TRPG: Using a digital medium to add gameplay to the character sheet

Abstract [en]

The TRPG is an incredibly varied genre. Not only are there a lot of different games in it, the way these games are played varies from player to player and even moment to moment within the game itself. Digital adaptations of TRPGs usually sacrifice this capability to bend the rules. A digital character sheet is developed specifically to gain the benefits of digital media without losing this rule flexibility. The artifact is tested in a session of DND and found to have expressive benefits over a traditional character sheet. However, the artifact fundamentally clashes with some aspects of DND, and it is concluded that for further development a game designed to utilize the artifact is needed.
