Syrinscape is a revolutionary sound design application created by Benjamin Loomes and the team at Syrinscape Pty Ltd. Unlike simple music players, it uses a sophisticated algorithmic engine to create dynamic, non repeating soundscapes that react to the events of a tabletop game. It is the official audio partner for major brands like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Call of Cthulhu, offering hundreds of professionally produced "SoundSets" that provide everything from cinematic orchestral scores to specific monster growls and spell effects. Description Syrinscape is built on the philosophy that "Epic Games Need Epic Sound." It provides Game Masters with a powerful digital soundboard where every element of an environment is independently controlled. Instead of playing a single audio loop, the app randomly triggers individual sounds—like a distant wolf howl, a creaking door, or a tavern patron’s laugh—to create a living, breathing atmosphere. It is available as a downloadable app for offline play or as a high performance Web Player for remote sessions. System Overview & Key Features The Dynamic Audio Engine The core of Syrinscape is its ability to randomize sound samples in time and 3D space. This ensures that a "forest" soundscape never sounds exactly the same twice, preventing the listener fatigue that often comes from short, repetitive audio loops found in standard music players. One Shot Sound Effects Beyond ambient music, the app features dedicated buttons for instant sound effects. A GM can trigger a fireball explosion, a dragon screech, or a critical hit stinger at the exact moment a player rolls the dice, adding a cinematic punctuation to the narrative. Official Adventure SoundSets Syrinscape produces bespoke audio for official RPG modules. When running a major campaign like Curse of Strahd or Abomination Vaults, GMs can access SoundSets designed specifically for every room and encounter in the book, including character voices and unique environmental cues. The Web Player and Online Player For remote play, the Web Player allows players to hear the GM's audio in perfect sync through their own browsers without needing an account. It is highly optimized for low latency and high quality, making it a perfect companion for Discord based games. SoundSet Creator Advanced users with a SuperSyrin subscription can access the SoundSet Creator tool. This allows you to upload your own music and samples, mix them with existing Syrinscape elements, and build completely custom environments tailored to your specific campaign world. VTT Integration Syrinscape features deep integration with platforms like Fantasy Grounds and Foundry VTT. This allows the software to trigger specific sounds automatically based on in game events, such as a character taking damage or a trap being sprung.

TomeHaven is a PDF and EPUB reader made specifically for tabletop roleplaying game players, and for anyone who wants to proudly show off their collection. It displays your books beautifully, helps you organise and find them, and lets you read them smoothly and sharply. Players can organise their books into collections and sections, spread them across multiple bookcases, and choose themes from warm wooden shelves to glowing sci-fi displays. A Reading Room keeps open books together, ready to pick up where the last session ended. The reader is custom built for large, art-heavy RPG PDFs. Tabs keep several books open at once, making it easy to move between a core rulebook, an adventure and a supplement during play. Search, bookmarks, highlights, notes and two-page views help players find and keep track of what they need. For frequently used rules, TomeHaven’s binders collect cut-outs from PDF pages alongside written notes. Tables, spells, stat blocks and campaign reminders can sit together, with picture cards linking back to their original book and page. The library and reader are free. An optional TomeHaven Pro subscription adds more binders, more bookcase themes and shelf customisation, search across the whole library, home-screen widgets and expanded reading statistics. No account is needed, there are no ads, and TomeHaven doesn’t upload players’ books. TomeHaven is made by KodaWorks.

A new actual play podcast featuring indie games and short, dramatic campaigns.

AmberCon UK 2026 will be our twenty-ninth annual roleplaying convention devoted to the Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game and we hope you will join us there from 25th September to 27th September 2026. This year’s Ambercon UK is following the pattern created in 2025 – as such it is being held in apartments rather than a hotel setting and con goers will need to find their own accommodation. A list of variously priced options will be posted in the New Year.. What’s planned? Just as Amber is not an ordinary RPG, AmberCon UK is no ordinary game convention. AmberCon UK 26 will feature events for players of all levels of experience, including new character auctions, stand-alone scenarios, new and continuing mini-campaigns, freeform games and the chance to meet, relax with, and plot hideously against your fellow Amber players in comfort.
