I’m not sure if anyone actually uses it, but I’ve updated the Hero Kids Compatible Encounter Generator web app (henceforth known as HKGen because that’s too much to type out every time…). It’s set up as an offline, responsive javascript web app using an appcache manifest. You don’t necessarily need to know that, but you should see a popup asking if it should reload any time you visit the page after the code gets updated. I actually had issue with this on my Android phone and had to go in and clear the cached data in the mobile Chrome browser…

I’d done my research and knew roughly what to do, but it was my first attempt, so I’m sure I made plenty of mistakes and could’ve done things differently or better in more places than one. None of that changed the fact…

Hey everyone! As you may well know, I play the Hero Kids role-playing game frequently with my “elder” two kids, ages 3 and 4. I’ve also used it with great success while learning the ropes for solitaire play — I already knew the rules, so it was super easy to let them fade into the background while I focused on writing, asking questions, and generating random elements.
