As a hobby project I wrote an application that helps players create new characters, as well as manage their player characters in an ongoing campaign. As a DM, I also find it quite useful for quickly prototyping new character concepts.
Since I think it turned out quite well, I figured I should share it with my fellow Forbidden Lands players. Please try it out, and feel free to use this thread to give feedback, report bugs, or request new features you think might be useful.
You can find the app here: Forbidden Lands Companion
