Tools & Platforms

VVD is a visually driven world-building and campaign management platform launched in 2024. Created by an independent developer, it positions itself as a streamlined, "distraction-free" alternative to complex wikis like World Anvil. In 2025, the platform gained massive popularity on social media for its "clean UI" and its strict No-AI pledge, promising that all art and assets on the platform are created by human artists.  Description VVD is built for the "sparks of inspiration." It uses a card-based system to organize NPCs, locations, and magic items, allowing users to connect them visually through an interactive graph. Unlike traditional folder-heavy organizers, VVD feels like a digital corkboard or a personalized Wikipedia that prioritizes aesthetics and ease of use. It is a web-based tool, meaning it requires an internet connection, but it is highly optimized for mobile devices, making it a favorite for GMs who need to jot down world-building notes on the go.

Item Forge is a small free tool to help GMs to create printable item cards for their table. It is optimized for D&D and Shadowdark. You can quickly fill out the form and it will generate a nice card design. There are predefined templates in D&D, Shadowdark and printer friendly style. You can also use the custom template where you can design it with CSS yourself. There are various export options, from PDF to images and a backup as json. For quick sharing there is a publish option which gets you a link that you can share with other GMs. Item Forge is translated into 10 languages currently and keeps growing.

Dungeon's Desk is a platform designed to manage campaigns and RPG sessions in a single environment, with separate interfaces for GM and players. It allows you to manage in real time characters, fights, maps and scenes, NPCs, shops, objects, worldbuilding and several other aspects of the session.

Omniarole is a simple world-building platform that runs in your browser on phone or laptop, so you can prep and play wherever you are. Players can use it too, to manage their own character sheets, synced in real time with the DM's campaign.

DiceCalc is a TTRPG dice managmeent system for players and GMs. Here's what it does: Roll all of a character's dice simultaneously — see every attack, save, skill, and modifier roll all at once via the Roll All mode with character tabs. Still reroll per macro — long-press any single roll to edit or reroll just that macro without rerolling the rest, even in Roll All mode. In-depth macro inspection — Roll Macro mode focuses on macro options, allowing players to inspect rolls, rename, edit, and sort the macro list. Sort order here is also preserved in Roll All mode. Cryptographically secure random number generation — higher unpredictability, more randomer. Sortable character tabs with up to 100 macros each — whether you're running or playing a campaign, organize by character, encounter, monster, game system, or any other way you like. Every major TTRPG dice mechanic in one app — keep high/low, target numbers (successes), botches, exploding dice, crit detection, multi-roll comma separation for staged (verification) rolls, and yes... push dice! Constraint validation with red-highlighted error feedback — pathological expressions are caught before they run, no infinite loops or broken math. Persistent 300-roll history with timestamps — every roll logged with full roll breakdown and no truncation. Tap-and-hold context menus throughout — edit, duplicate, delete, rename, reroll wherever it makes sense. Localized in 7 languages — English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Polish, with complete in-app manuals for each. 14-page in-app user manual — every feature documented with examples, no need to leave the app. Supports Android 8.0 and above — runs on devices going back a decade. Custom QWERTY keyboard for macro names — with locale-specific diacritics via long-press. Independent horizontal scroll per output row — nerd out inspecting long expressions, results, and roll details without truncation. Also... I'm giving it away for free till 09/31/2026 11:59:59 (JST).
