Web RD is now ready for release. The consumer version is a kit just to build the display

- Web Rd Module
- MAX7219 Dot matrix LED Display
- ESP8266 01S Programmed for Niche-tec Web Connect

The MAX7219 component comes with a edge connector and a connecting cable

This edge connector needs to be soldered onto the Web Rd Module to connect the components

The ESP8266 01S Programmed for Niche-tec Web Connect is supplied preprogrammed with test software that displays a test pattern on the Dot Matrix display and is ready to connect to your LAN using one of the Free Web RD software packages available on the play store.

Assembling these three components will create the Consumer Web RD Display

Web RD or Web Remote Display is a stand alone display unit that has the ability to get data from the internet (LAN Required) and display it. This kit is a minimalist set of hardware to support this functionality. We have reduced the cost so you only need to buy the Kit you intend to use. We offer links to other providers that sell the components so you can source them at the lowest price. The Housing of the display is left to the user we have partnered with Xen Dragon 3d Printing to offer a 3d Printed housing:

We offer a free download from Cricut that creates a housing from cardboard that is free of any cost.

The formal method for calculating the experience award for a character has changed in many ways over the versions. But it still remains one of the most contentious issues as each GM is required to moderate the results and players generally argue that more experience is required. This article lists all the prescribed methods in one place.

Basic D&D

Sum up the Gold Piece value of the treasure taken the add 100* Hit dice of the monster then divide by the Characters Level

AD&D

Calculate the Gold piece value of treasure taken. Each GP taken adds 1 exp to the total Experience award
For each monster Add its BXPV to the HP*(XP/HP) add the SA*SAXPB and the EA*EAXPV to the total experience Award (These values are derived from a Table)
Divide the total Experience award equally between players

AD&D 2e

For each creature calculate the Hit Dice or Level of the Creature
Add the additional Hit Dice or levels from the Hit Dice Value Modifier table
Multiply by the number of Creatures of that type
Divide by the number of the characters

D&D 3.0

3.0 and 3.5 used the same experience calculation

D&D 3.5

Find each characters Level accounting for monster characters ECL
Find the CR for each monster defeated
Lookup the XP award for a single monster in a table like:

** Note this table is an approximation not the exact values

4. Divide by this number of Characters in the encounter

5. Add up this EXP awards for all the monsters defeated by each character

D&D 4e

Each Monster description has an experience point value

Total the experience points for all the monsters in an encounter
Divide by the number of characters

D&D 5e
