R.O.P.E.: Record of Past Events

As a personal project, I'm designing an app that will streamline asynchronous, text-based Dungeons & Dragons for my friends and I.

Yeah, but why?

I run a Dungeons & Dragons game with a few friends of mine and, due to differing schedules and locations, we moved our game into Slack (which would be more actively checked because they were already using it for work). When I explored other options, I found them to be either repurposed, clunky, or not as aesthetically pleasing as I would like.

I took it upon myself to design something that would streamline the game, taking full consideration of its asynchronous nature, and also embrace that D&D is all about creating a story together. It's necessary that there are side comments and requests for rolls and such that get in the way of the main narrative, so this app is designed so that you can slide all the excess aside and view the story that you've created together.
