Open Game Master

AD&D Toolkit is a collection of tools for Dungeon Masters that integrates seamlessly with digital Character Sheets.

Toolkit supports First Edition(1e), Unearthed Arcana(1e), and Second Edition(2e). Community Across multiple platforms, our membership numbers in the thousands.  If you haven't yet, you need to check it out.  The Discord serves as the community hub as well as offering support for the Toolkit.  It serves as a valuable resource for people new to AD&D or Toolkit. Blog The AD&D Toolkit blog serves as a resource to the public for both Toolkit and AD&D in general.

A portable, offline-first DM and worldbuilding tool. Build worlds, run sessions, share with others and play together, all in one app. License: CC BY-NC 4.0 · Free to use Everything core works **without an account**. You only need one to play online, publish to the marketplace, or download other users' content. /images/general-media/1791564204_7DEx9r3t.webp Worldbuilding - Era Timeline: Split your world's history into eras on a timeline bar and move between them. Each era keeps its own map, pins, nested location maps and day-by-day timeline pins linked to cards and sessions. You can show the same city before the war and after it. - Templates & Packages: Every world is built on a template (D&D 5e is built in) and pulls content from packages. A package is a bundle of cards you can install into any world, link to other packages, or share on the marketplace. Custom templates are coming. - Codex: Schema-driven cards for NPCs, monsters, spells, items, locations and more. Every reference is a tappable link. Pin cards to the top, preview any card with a long press, and search by name, tag, category or text. - World Map: Pins, grid and scale, drawing, fog of war, and nested maps you can walk into (districts, dungeons, taverns). - Mind Map: An infinite canvas with linked nodes, workspaces, freehand drawing and undo/redo. /images/general-media/1791564252_TB7zwrCp.webp Running the Session - Second Screen: Give the table its own view.

Fog of war and hidden tokens stay hidden. - Battle Map: The session screen *is* the map, with the encounter panel and event log on top. It has layers, fog of war, AoE templates, 5e diagonal rules, creature-sized tokens, shapes and text, a DM-only layer, hidden tokens, movement trails for the round, and two maps joined into one. - Combat Tracker: Initiative, HP (with hit-dice rolls), conditions, turn order and an event log. - 3D Dice: Dice roll across the screen with named styles. Skills and saving throws roll from the character sheet with one tap. - Soundpad: Layered ambience with gapless loops, fades and ready-made soundpacks. - PDF Library: PDFs kept inside the world, opened in tabs and shareable with players. /images/general-media/1791564292_BnuuXJTS.webp Characters - Full 5e rules: Species, class, subclass, background and feats fold into one sheet.

GM Console is a browser-based campaign and combat companion for D&D-style tabletop roleplaying groups. It brings the party roster, character information, and encounter tracking into a shared space, with live updates for connected players. It is designed for game masters and players who want practical session tools while continuing to use their own dice, maps, and notes. Game masters create a campaign and invite friends with a code. Players can select an existing character or create a new one, keeping attributes, available abilities, and resources together. Groups can also include guest players by name, so someone using a paper character sheet can participate without creating an account or opening the app. For encounters, the GM can arrange seats to match the physical table, collect initiative results, add enemies, and advance through the turn order. Players see whose turn it is and when they are coming up next. Hit points, damage, healing, and conditions can be tracked during combat, while players manage their own character resources and see updates on their screens. GM Console works well for mixed setups, such as a GM on a laptop, players checking characters on phones, and guests using paper sheets. Its included character setup provides a D&D-style level-one foundation. The group supplies the rules knowledge and makes decisions during play; complete spell lists, equipment management, and automated character advancement are not currently included.

Fantasy AGE is a tabletop roleplaying game of class-based sword-and-sorcery adventure, designed by Chris Pramas and published by Green Ronin Publishing. It first released as the Fantasy AGE Basic Rulebook in 2015, adapting the Adventure Game Engine (AGE) that Pramas built for the Dragon Age Roleplaying Game into a standalone, setting-neutral fantasy toolkit rather than a licensed tie-in. A second edition followed in February 2023, staying roughly 90% compatible with the original while folding in years of supplement material and adding two new subsystems, Peril and Daring. The system is built on the Adventure Game Engine (AGE), the same engine Green Ronin uses for Dragon Age, Modern AGE, and Blue Rose. Description Players build adventurers from one of four classes - Envoy, Mage, Rogue, or Warrior, covering the social, magical, sneaky, and fighty corners of a party respectively - and one of nine Ancestries (Draak, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Human, Orc, or Wildfolk), a term Green Ronin adopted across its AGE games to sidestep the baggage "race" carries in older fantasy RPGs. The Game Master (GM) runs a setting of the table's own choosing rather than a fixed world. Fantasy AGE was built from the start as a toolkit for running any sword-and-sorcery campaign rather than one specific IP. Sessions lean on the AGE system's stunt-heavy combat to keep fights fast and cinematic, while the optional Peril and Daring systems ask a table to decide up front how much extra swing they want between a party's best and worst moments.

Traveller 2E is a sci-fi tabletop roleplaying game system, that was published in 2016 and updated in 2022, by Mongoose Publishing. It involves the characters adventuring through star systems, engaging in (space) exploration and engaging in battles both on ground and in space. The system it directly evolved from is classic Traveller (1977) Description The characers in Traveller can be humans, robots, aliens or of a genetically engineered species. Each character is distinguished by their occupation - whether they are a civilian, military, a noble, a young cadet or a veteran. Each type comes with their own strengths and weaknesses. To further expand on the sci-fi aspect of the game, some characters are prone to extra-sensory abilities, such as telekinesis, telepathy and others.

ICVTT (Index Card Virtual Tabletop) is a free, browser-based virtual tabletop built around radical simplicity: no settings menus, no macros, no built-in chat, and no tutorials - just a map, tokens, and dice. It began life as Runehammer VTT, built by Runehammer Games to run their own Index Card RPG (ICRPG) and WAR|MAKER, before being reworked into a community-maintained project in 2022 and renamed ICVTT.  Though it was purpose-built with ICRPG in mind, it works with virtually any tabletop system since it doesn't impose rules or character sheets on anything.
