Six Axes

Your table already tells the story. This writes it down.

Overview

Six Axes is Kerf & Code's D&D toolkit: a session-analytics and GM platform that captures and transcribes play, plus multi-system builders, a hex world map, and an offline voice/typed rules compendium spanning D&D, Draw Steel, Lancer, Daggerheart, PF2e, and Dark Matter. It is still in Alpha and I am looking for testers and artists.

Key features

It knows what you rolled

Most session tools listen and summarise. Six Axes also captures the mechanics: attacks, saves, damage, hit points, who rolled what and when. On a supported virtual tabletop those numbers arrive automatically; playing in person with real dice, it reads the numbers your table says out loud. Which lets it do arithmetic nobody else can. It knows the fight it called Moderate left the party at a third of their hit points, and it can tell you that your Moderate encounters land like Hard ones, at your table specifically, across a whole campaign.

A campaign wiki that writes itself

Every NPC the party meets, every place they go, every faction and thread and piece of loot gets captured from what was narrated and filed where you can find it. You approve what goes in. By session five you have the campaign bible you were never going to write. When it is worth sharing, publish it as a page anyone can read, no account needed. You choose exactly what appears, so the setting and the cast can go public while the things your players have not found yet stay yours.

It tells you how your table is doing

Which threads you have left hanging for four sessions. Who has not had a scene in a while. That one character is quietly holding two thirds of the party's loot. The things you half-notice on the night and have forgotten by the next one. It also builds a read of how each player engages, across six axes: tactics, arcana, voice, exploration, rapport, and nerve. It is not a score and no axis is the good one. It exists so you can notice you have not given someone a scene that plays to what they actually enjoy.

Build the world, four scales deep

Generate a hex world from a seed, or paint biomes by hand up to 250 by 250, then have it rendered as a finished map. Drop pins, link each to a place or an NPC, and trace where a session actually went. City, dungeon, and building maps use the same brush-and-render loop. A slice of it, the generator, is one of the free tools below. Inside a campaign it ties to your codex, your sessions, and what your players are allowed to see.
