INTRODUCTION
DM Jot aims to provide a quick and dirty way for DMs and players to keep
each other in the know
about their characters.
DMs create campaigns, and players can then create their characters under those campaigns. Ability scores, skills, and other vital statistics can be entered using DM Jot's (hopefully) easy and quick interface.
PC privacy is maintained by allowing only the PC's player, DM, and DM Jot site administrators access to the PC's full stats. Other visitors can see only the PC's portrait (if one has been uploaded), their gender, height, hair, and eye color. In other words, just those things you could determine if you saw the character walking down the street.

TECHNICAL INFO
DM Jot is a web application written using the Ruby on Rails web framework. In order to use it, you'll need a web server capable of serving Ruby on Rails applications. DM Jot also uses the RMagick interface to ImageMagick. This too is necessary for PC portrait resizing.
