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. Pop out a window onto a second monitor, cast to a TV or projector, or project into every connected player's app. You choose how battle maps, images, cards and PDFs go out. 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. Each sense, resistance, proficiency, trait and always-prepared spell shows where it came from.

ASIs, feats, subclass and spell picks wait as pending choices. /images/general-media/1791564330_JBRRDNZ4.webp Playing Online - Online worlds: Put a world, package or character online and it stays the same on every device you sign in on. Players see the pictures even when the DM is offline. - Players: Join with an invite code, claim a character, move your own token on your turn, and send dice rolls to the DM's log.

Trails Weaver is a visual worldbuilding app for game masters, worldbuilders and writers. Every character, location, faction and item is a page with rich text, images, custom properties and a relations table, and any page can also be dropped onto a board. There are four board types: - an infinite free board where element cards nest inside other element cards. - map boards with pins, regions and roads that reveal more detail as you zoom in. - hierarchy boards for family trees and chains of command. - relationship graph that assembles itself from the relations recorded on each page Anything marked secret stays hidden when a world is shared through a read-only public link. The free plan covers one world, unlimited free-boards and up to 25 world elements. Pro removes every limit.

Fantasy Name Generators is the world’s largest collection of random name generators, famously created and maintained by a single developer known as Emily. Launched in 2012, the site has grown into a massive cultural pillar for tabletop gaming, featuring over 1,400 different generators ranging from traditional high fantasy races to real world historical names, pop culture references, and even abstract concepts like "evil sword names" or "inn signs." In 2025 and 2026, the site has remained the industry's "gold standard" specifically because it avoids AI generation in favor of hand-coded linguistic patterns and custom syllables. Description Fantasy Name Generators is the ultimate "anti-writer's block" tool. It is a lightweight, browser-based repository that generates 10 names at a time with a single click. What sets Emily’s site apart is its sheer granular depth; you aren't just looking for "Elf names," you are looking for Night Elf, Blood Elf, Tolkien Elf, or Pop Culture Elf names. It is highly valued for its speed and its "clean" nature—there are no accounts to create and no complex settings to tweak. Furthermore, the site is famous for its environmental focus, using its ad revenue to fund massive tree-planting initiatives. System Overview & Key Features Hand-Crafted Linguistic Patterns Unlike modern AI generators that "predict" text, Emily's tools use specific phonetic rules for each category. For example, the Dwarf generator is hard-coded to favor gravelly, consonant-heavy sounds, while the Elven generators prioritize melodic, vowel-rich patterns. This ensures that names feel like they belong to a coherent culture rather than being random gibberish. Extreme Categorization The site is divided into massive sub-sections: Fantasy, Real World, Pop Culture, Place Names, and Other. You can find names for anything from a "Post-Apocalyptic City" to a "Legendary Weapon" or even specific names for "Demon Souls" and "Lovecraftian Horrors." Real-World Cultural Accuracy The site features one of the most extensive collections of real-world names on the internet, covering hundreds of ethnic and historical groups. GMs often use these to give different regions of their world a distinct, authentic "flavor" (e.g., using Icelandic names for a northern kingdom and Swahili names for a southern trade port). Description and Prompt Generators Beyond just names, the site includes "Description Generators" for NPCs, landscapes, and even "Backstory Generators." While simple, these provide a "Mad Libs" style framework that can jumpstart a GM's creativity when they need to describe a room or a character's personality on the fly. Environmental Philanthropy A unique "meta-feature" of the site is its partnership with wildlife and forest conservation. By simply using the site, users contribute to the planting of millions of trees. As of 2026, Emily has expanded these efforts to include specific ocean cleanup and rewilding projects, making it a "feel-good" tool for the community. The "Roll For Fantasy" Sister Site Emily also maintains a companion site called Roll For Fantasy, which offers free browser-based tools for map making, dungeon building, and character sheet management, all using the same user-friendly, non-subscription philosophy.
