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.

Meet Leaflet, a wiki-style notetaking tool for TTRPG campaigns!

Plus, when paired with other features like Tracks and Calendars, Leaflet notes become powerful, searchable, and memorable. Features: • Note pages with automatic links • Tracks (clocks) • Calendar and Timeline support • Image-to-Text import • Multitasking • Collaborate with other users • No generative AI and more in development

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.

enCounter is a free, open-source encounter and initiative manager designed for tabletop RPG game masters. It provides a dedicated DM Console for preparing and running encounters, along with a separate Player Display that can be shown on a second monitor, television, or gaming-table screen. Game masters can track initiative, rounds, hit points, combat status, conditions, resources, hidden enemies, and other encounter information while controlling exactly what players can see. enCounter also supports reusable character and creature libraries, Saved Encounters, Scene and Combat presentation modes, visual countdown timers, encounter backgrounds, portraits, and local Soundscapes with music, ambience, and prepared sound cues. The Player Display can switch between STAND BY, Scene, and Combat modes, allowing it to be used before and during combat. During initiative, the active visible combatant is automatically centered for players, while the DM Console can follow the current turn without interrupting other encounter edits. enCounter supports multiple tabletop RPG system profiles as well as generic TTRPG play. It runs locally on the user's computer, supports Windows and Linux portable releases, and includes local backup, export, and import tools. The project is currently in Alpha and is actively being developed based on real tabletop use and community feedback. enCounter is released under the MIT License and is available free of charge.
