A collection of handy utilities for your Daggerheart campaigns, hopefully inspiring your world of your own. Printable cards of all loot & consumables with an editor to add your own homebrew ones, stored in the local browser so they'll still be there when you come back (on the same device/browser) A shop or treasure hoard generator to add some randomness (and less overhead) to what your players find, use one of the templates or finetune the the common to legendary distribution and then export them to a simple list or print the item cards for easy handouts. And finally a simple npc generator, be it commoner or adventurer, for when your players ask you for the name and description of that npc in the corner that you had forgotten even existed.

Since I’ve been working on a Savage Worlds setting for quite some time and started a new online group now, the topic of combat and initiative naturally came up. I used to use the SavageBot on Discord, but unfortunately, it doesn't really work properly for combat anymore. I didn't want anything overly complicated. I came across the "Savage Tracker" by Inspired Conviction - a simple browser-based tool. However it unfortunately no longer works. So, I wrote my own tool. It's available in English and German. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

For anyone playing a female character in The Dark Eye (Das Schwarze Auge) who doesn't want to keep track of when their character is menstruating, I’ve written a tool that displays the next twelve occurrences. The calculations are based on the Calendar of the Twelve Gods, which is the most widely used calendar in Aventuria. I assume a 28-day cycle, with the period typically lasting one week.

Stawl is an independent, community-developed web application and digital toolkit designed specifically for Draw Steel, the cinematic fantasy tabletop role-playing game published by MCDM Productions. Developed by an independent creator known as JonStodle, the platform was launched during Draw Steel's early access and playtest period. It functions as a cloud-based companion application intended to assist both Directors and players in managing game mechanics, combat encounters, and character data. Description Stawl serves as a digital command center for preparing and running Draw Steel campaigns. Unlike some alternative community tools that store data locally within a user's web browser, Stawl requires an account and utilizes cloud storage. This architecture allows users to prepare game materials on one device, such as a desktop computer, and seamlessly access them during gameplay on another device, such as a laptop or tablet. While it requires a degree of manual data entry, its comprehensive suite of encounter-tracking tools and its ability to share live information with players have made it a prominent utility within the Draw Steel community.

Forge Steel is a community-developed, locally-hosted web application and digital utility designed for Draw Steel, the cinematic fantasy tabletop role-playing game created by MCDM Productions. Developed by independent community members during the game's playtest phase, the application functions as a lightweight encounter builder and combat manager. It is specifically built to assist Directors in organizing game data and tracking real-time combat statistics during a session. Description Forge Steel serves as a digital toolkit for preparing and executing combat encounters in Draw Steel. In contrast to cloud-based alternatives, Forge Steel relies on local browser storage. This means the application does not require users to create an account or rely on external servers to save their data. All created encounters, customized monsters, and campaign notes are stored directly within the cache of the user's web browser. This architecture prioritizes data privacy, offline accessibility, and fast load times, though it requires manual file exporting to transfer data between different devices. System Overview & Key Features Local Storage Architecture The application operates entirely within the user's web browser without communicating with a backend database for everyday use. Because it utilizes local storage, no login credentials are required. This ensures the tool remains highly responsive and can continue to function even if the user loses their internet connection during a game session. Encounter Construction Directors can use the tool to design combat encounters by selecting monsters from an integrated database. The application automatically calculates the total Encounter Value, allowing the Director to balance the difficulty of the fight against the level and size of the player character party. Active Combat Tracking During gameplay, Forge Steel provides a dashboard to manage the flow of combat. It tracks essential Draw Steel mechanics, including monster Stamina, current initiative groups, temporary status effects, and the accumulation of Villain Power. This centralized view reduces the amount of physical bookkeeping required by the Director. Integrated Bestiary The application includes a searchable bestiary containing the official monsters released during the Draw Steel playtest and early access periods. Directors can quickly filter these creatures by role, level, or faction, and view their complete stat blocks, abilities, and passives directly within the app. Import and Export Functionality To mitigate the limitations of local-only storage, Forge Steel includes manual data management tools. Users can export their prepared encounters, custom bestiaries, and campaign data as JSON files. These files can then be saved as backups or imported into Forge Steel on a different computer or browser, allowing for manual cross-device syncing. Homebrew Integration Directors have the ability to manually input and modify monster statistics. This allows users to create custom adversaries or tweak existing official monsters to fit their specific campaign needs. These custom entries are saved locally alongside the official bestiary.

Obsidian is a free, locally-stored Markdown note-taking application that the TTRPG community has widely adopted as a campaign wiki, session planner, and lore database. Originally designed as a personal knowledge management tool, it stores everything as plain text files on your own machine with no subscription required. Description Unlike purpose-built platforms such as World Anvil, Obsidian was not designed with TTRPGs in mind, which means it arrives without templates, stat block support, or any TTRPG-specific structure out of the box. GMs who want those features need to install and configure community plugins themselves, which carries a steeper setup cost than dedicated alternatives. For those comfortable with that process, however, the result is a highly customizable system with no ongoing fees and no vendor lock-in. A thriving plugin ecosystem has filled most of the gaps, and the tool has become a genuine alternative to subscription-based worldbuilding platforms for technically comfortable Game Masters. The plugin ecosystem extends well beyond what is listed here, with community tools covering everything from database-style note querying and cross-device sync to interactive maps and combat automation. A full directory is available at community plugins.

Fantasy World Generator is a free, offline Android toolkit for solo players, game masters and worldbuilders. Its oracle answers yes or no questions with shifting odds and a Chaos Factor, tracks open plot threads and NPCs, and can open any of the app's 43 generators mid-scene, feeding the result straight back into the story. Every result comes from handwritten tables running on the device, with no account, and no AI anywhere in it.

DC20 Forge is a fan-made digital companion platform built specifically around The Dungeon Coach's DC20 tabletop RPG, offering character sheets, campaign management, and a growing suite of GM-facing tools.

Natural Zero is a tool I build for myself and my group of beginner adventurers. It has a character sheet editor. If you have created your character sheet you can export it as PDF and/or use the Combat copilot to help you not forget anything in a battle. In this tool you can see all options you can take in combat and lists al conditions and active spells as well as health management.  As DM you can create battles with the Battle Composer and roll initiative to track the rounds, you can add your players here. Hopefully in the near future you'll be able to add character sheets your players created by inviting them into your campaign so it's even less manual work to streamline your sessions! I hope you enjoy using Natural Zero
