I Need a Hero – Support

Getting started

• Roll makes a new person. Tap any line to set it yourself, tap the lock to keep it, and roll again: everything you have not locked is drawn again, and it still fits what you kept. Lock the first name “Mark” and the age and background follow from who is really called Mark.
• Recipe decides which traits appear, in what order, and who can be rolled: an age range, ethnicity, sex, and Where, a state, county or town. Choose a town and its people come with it.
• Groups rolls a whole family or a cast for one real town.
• Shelf keeps the people you save. Add notes, open someone again to change them, or share Markdown and PDF character sheets.

Common questions

Do I need an account, or the internet? No. Everything, including the data the app draws from, is on your device. It works offline.

Are these real people? No. Every person is invented. The odds of each trait come from public statistics, so the people are plausible, but no roll describes a real individual.

Why does the same name keep turning up? Because it is common. Names are drawn by how often they were really given in the year a person was born, so there are a lot of Jennifers born around 1980.

Can I roll people from outside the United States? Not yet. All of the data is American.

What does a tip get me? A thank-you. Tips are optional and unlock nothing: every feature is included for everyone.
