Game Fortress: A New App for Hobbyist by Hobbyist
A completely free app is live now to organize your lists, games, and other projects you have going on. This app was created by hobbyists and they want you to sign up and let them know what you think of the app. They want your feedback.
I signed up and browsed around this morning and found the app quite flexible for quite a few game systems. There are quite a few people already posting up their work, events scheduled and much more.
I think the nice thing about his is how easy it is to share your projects and lists with friends in your gaming circles. You can even jump ahead and organize your tournaments through the app. with pairings, ITC points and more.
Definitely worth checking out and seeing what this can do for you.
