The director can now play a party character, not just DM. A Mode switch
(Dungeon Master / Player) plus an AI-seat picker choose which PC the AI pilots.
- Scene injection: when seated, the controlled PC's real sheet detail is fed to
the director — attacks with derived to-hit (sys.weaponAttack) + damage
expressions, spells (level/concentration), resources, and spell slots — so the
AI player acts from true numbers, in first person.
- Persona-aware prompt + cue already route DM→runs monsters / player→"it is your
turn"; the seat sets controlledName.
- Caster actions (castSpell/spendResource) flow through the D2 approve-each apply
bridge unchanged — slot/resource spend is enforced by the kernel, concentration
mirrors to the combatant.
- UI: SceneControls (mode + seat), seat-gating ("pick a character"), and
player-flavored buttons (Take turn). directorStore gains controlledCharacterId.
Verified in-app: switching to Player mode, seating "Lia the Brave · Fighter 3",
and taking a turn produced first-person narration. 388 unit tests green (incl. new
player-persona scene/ prompt tests); lint clean; build OK.

TTRPG Manager
A local-first campaign manager for D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e, built for both Game Masters and players. Runs entirely in the browser (installable as a PWA) — your data lives in IndexedDB on your device; no account, no server.
Features (MVP)
- Campaigns — create per-system campaigns; deleting one cascades to all its data.
- Characters — 5e/PF2e sheets with live derived stats: ability modifiers, proficiency, skills, saves, AC, initiative, HP (with damage/heal/temp). Autosaves.
- Combat tracker — initiative order, round/turn tracking, conditions, HP, and add/remove/reorder mid-fight without ever corrupting whose turn it is.
- Dice — full notation (
2d6+3,4d6kh3), advantage/disadvantage, seedable RNG, per-campaign roll history. - Compendium — searchable SRD bestiary, spells, and magic items. Add any monster straight into the open encounter.
Tech
- React 19 + TypeScript (strict) + Vite
- TanStack Router · Zustand · Zod · Dexie (IndexedDB) · Tailwind v4 · Fuse.js
- Vitest (unit) + Playwright (e2e), PWA via vite-plugin-pwa
Architecture
src/
lib/
rules/ # game-system abstraction — 5e & pf2e behind one RulesSystem interface
combat/ # pure, tested turn-order + HP engine
dice/ # notation parser + roller
db/ # Dexie schema + repositories (cascade deletes, validation on write)
schemas/ # Zod entity schemas — every number rejects NaN/Infinity
compendium/ # lazy SRD data loaders (code-split out of the main bundle)
features/ # campaigns, characters, combat, dice, compendium (UI)
components/ui/ # design-system primitives
data/srd/ # SRD JSON (Open5e + MPMB); regenerate with scripts/fetch_data.py
The rules layer means features never branch on if (system === '5e'); they call the
RulesSystem interface, so adding a system is a self-contained module.

Roadmap
Notes/journal, maps with fog of war, encounter/loot builders, a shared player view, PF2e compendium data, and an optional sync backend for real-time tables.
History
This is a from-scratch rebuild. The previous implementation (deleted) had ~135
documented bugs and no version control; its bug report is kept at
docs/OLD_BUG_HUNT_REPORT.md as a record of failure modes designed against here
(silent data loss, turn-order corruption, no cascade deletes, NaN inputs, dead
Tauri integration). The SRD data and Python scrapers were preserved.
