The RPGist Accounts has just been improved so that when someone logs into any of the RPGist apps, they are automatically logged into all of the RPGist apps that are integrated with the this login system, which for now are only the&nbs...

RPGists who donate through https://donate.rpgist.net, even if only 1 dollar, to help with the hosting expenses of the RPGist apps do not see advertisements in any RPGist app; or at least they should not see them. It's my way of thanking for the help.
There was a bug in the D&D 5e Spellcaster Helper that caused ads to continue appearing even after the RPGist donor logged in, and t...
