Larpinq
Build worlds, run campaigns, for live-action role-playing. On your own . Yes, really.
Characters, rules, events and players. One place, no six-tab spreadsheet.
Your rules live in the app, not in your head. Players edit their own character in the same Nextcloud you run the campaign from. You stop recalculating sheets and start running games.
A player learns a skill. Their sheet updates itself.
Today you recalculate twenty sheets the night before the event. Instead, a player adds the skill and every stat it touches changes on the spot. Every ability shows exactly which skill, item or condition added what, so an argument at the table is settled by looking. Illegal builds and overspent points are refused when the player saves. You can override, once, on purpose.
Award XP once, with a reason. Six months later nobody argues.
After the event you hand out experience per character, with why and when. The character levels up by itself. Six months later a player asks why they have fewer points than their friend, and the answer is on their sheet, entry by entry. No spreadsheet cell somebody once overwrote.
A player writes their background at home. You approve it before Saturday.
The player writes the story and submits it. You get a notification, read it when you have a minute and approve. The character walks in on Saturday with the right points and an approved background. No printed drafts, no last-minute email with an attachment.
Print the sheets and the cast list on Friday night.
Each player brings a clean PDF character sheet to the field. You bring one cast list per event with names, stats, conditions and notes. Both come straight from the records, so what is on paper is what is in the app. Printing needs the Filinq app installed next to it.
Your own rules, your own worlds.
Model your own game system: abilities, skills, items, conditions, effects, and what each does to a stat. Run more than one world from the same install and keep characters and events apart per campaign. A finished campaign is archived, not deleted, so old rosters stay readable. A first-run wizard sets everything up and shows you around.
Free for the small organiser.
No yearly licence per player. Install it on a Nextcloud you already have, or ask a partner to host it. Open source, so the rules you build stay yours.
It works the way you play. And it works for you.
Four things you would normally pay extra for. In Larpinq they are built in.
A background is submitted. The approval is already on your list.
Today: a player mails you a story, you forget, they ask on Saturday. Instead, set it up once. The moment a background is submitted, a task lands on the game master's desk. The moment it is approved, the player is told. After every event, a list of characters that got no XP yet. Nothing forgotten, no chasing, no coding.
How automation worksYour system, your fields, your sheet.
A fantasy group wants mana on every sheet. A post-apocalyptic group wants radiation and a faction. A vampire chronicle wants generation and clan. Add the field, hide the block your system does not use, drag the widget you check first to the top. In the running app, in minutes, and your changes stay with every update.
How customising worksAsk who is coming. Get the list, not a spreadsheet.
Ask "who signed up for the June event?" and you get the names. Ask "which characters have the healing skill?" and the list is there. The assistant reads the same characters and events you are allowed to see, and asks before it changes anything. Approving and awarding XP stay with you.
Meet the assistantA new player signs up without a seat in your Nextcloud.
Not every player needs an account on your server. Through Portaliq they get their own portal page: they see the coming events and sign up, follow whether their background is approved yet, and check their own character and XP before the weekend. You keep the game master side to yourself, and the "am I approved yet?" messages stop.
See the player portalWe ship the widgets you need
Install Larpinq and the campaign dashboard shows the newest characters, the next events, and which skills your players pick most. Design your own widgets with Buildiq, or build your own dashboard from all your data with LaunchPad.
Calendar, contacts and photos. Already yours.
No separate player portal. The campaign uses the calendar, the address book and the photo album your group already has in Nextcloud.
Give an event a start and end date and it is in the Nextcloud Calendar. Pin the location on the map from the event page. Players sign up through a form and you see who is attending on the roster, before you print the cast list. Nobody keeps a second list in a chat group.
