Patsy
Introduction V 2 .5
Galstaf the sorcerer unleashes a fireball upon the horde of vile ogres. A can of
Mountain Dew and slice of pizza later, the necessary checks and saving throws are
resolved, damage is calculated and several ogres become charcoal. With just one more
roll, a quickened magic missile spell is cast to finish off a surviving ogre. Initiative then
progresses to Picard, the hastened elven ranger, who dedicates his full energies to attacking
a very upset ogremage who is leading the onslaught. After ten or fifteen minutes for six
attacks, a critical threat, four damage rolls and a bathroom break the round now
progresses to the surviving ogremage’s initiative, allowing the irritated creature to exact
revenge. At this time Picard also realizes that he neglected to add into his results the
effects of a prayer spell cast at the beginning of the encounter and slaps himself on the
forehead in frustration.
If you have been playing role playing games (RPGs) for long, this type of situation is
all too familiar. Perhaps not every tiny little detail, but surely the time consuming game
mechanics that come with traditional paper and pencil role playing.
What is RPG Patsy?
RPG Patsy is a significant development in Computer Assisted Role Playing (use an
acronym for that term if you like, but I’m not going to. CARP isn’t very flattering). RPG
Patsy is not just a character generator or a reference aid, it’s a completely interactive
character sheet meant to replace your paper, pencil and dice (to whatever extent you
like). RPG Patsy allows players to easily automate much of the technical side of the game
allowing cleaner, faster play and a smoother gaming experience. There are tools in RPG
Patsy that can be useful for any role playing game and you should feel free to use them
however you like.

edition Dungeons & Dragons™ Player’s Handbook© from Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
(http://www.wizards.com). The book contains a wealth of related information and is well
worth the money. Neither Ben Hanks nor Slacker Entertainment are in any way affiliated

headings of, new features will be underlined so that those who already read through the
