Web App for Hit Location

[bongotastic]

Hello,

A friend of mine and I have put together a small web app to run through all the rolls required to implement hit location and special effect wounds in Martial Arts. I plan to use it on my IPad of Phone during our sessions.

It shows only the notes that are relevant to the type of damage, and re-roll locations as needed. A fun little project.

Anyone interested in using it are welcome! Here is the link:

We introduced it on the G+ community yesterday. All comments are welcome.

I had plans for developing a similar page. If I may make a feature request. Could you add page references? Page references that link to that publication's web page would be even better; and better for SJ Games as it might encourage product purchase.

Also, a graphic that allows you to choose the hit location by touching it would be cool.

That's really cool. I'm keeping it.

I though about it, it is simple enough to do.

The main problem with a hit location selector as graphic is whether we want to use a copyrighted image or draw our own... Which is a liability in my case.

The current version now includes Hit Modifiers on the hit location selection and links to the SJG publications in the credits.

Nice. I linked it on my blog, too, in my panel of GURPS links.

Great app! I'm gonna use this in my next game. I like the fact that the default setting is random hit location. Any chance you could add a filter for those of us who only use the Basic hit locations? I wouldn't know what to do if the abdomen or pelvis were hit, despite the handy notes.

Great, thanks!

Erratum: when you choose Abdomen, one of the possibilities is Vitals. Under Vitals it says a miss by 1 hits the Torso. This is true when the Vitals are targeted in the first place, but not when they're hit as the 1 in 6 chance after an Abdomen hit.

Whoa! Nice catch here. It is now fixed.

Thanks!

I can generate some public domain art suitable for a hit location selector :)

EDIT:
Let me know if this is useful.
