Nimble

Overview

Nimble is a fast, tactical (and 5e compatible), TTRPG. Your game nights are too precious to waste with slow or fiddly rules! Slay the slog using the best elements from the greatest RPGs around. Nimble empowers players and GMs with more interesting choices, less waiting around, and have more fun playing epic stories Description Nimble RPG is designed to prioritize speed, tactical decision-making, and reduced administrative tracking for both players and Game Masters. The system condenses character sheets and streamlines the action economy to prevent long waiting periods between player turns. Its primary design philosophy centers on accelerating combat encounters without sacrificing strategic depth, utilizing highly lethal weapon mechanics and dynamic monster behaviors. The game is offered both as a complete standalone system and as a modular "rules hack" booklet that can be integrated directly into an ongoing

campaign. System Overview & Key Features
Fast Combat Don’t waste your time rolling to see if you can deal damage, just roll your damage dice! You deal that much damage. Attacks miss on a 1, but rolling the maximum is an EXPLODING Critical Hit!
Exploding critical hits Roll the die again and add it to the total. There is no limit to how many times this damage can stack, except your luck!
Instant Initiative Get RIGHT into combat with Improved Initiative rules that get players immediately into combat in a way that serves the story without breaking up the flow.
Quick to prep Nimble is quick to prep and easy to run. You've got enough going on while GMing—Mechanics are all designed to be easy to manage and track at the table. You can be ready to run an adventure in as little as 5 minutes! And there's no need to for new players to read though endless pages of rules, teach new players as you play.
Easy to balance Easy Encounter Creation. No matter the size of your party—whether you play in a cozy group with just 1 or 2 heroes, or a huge group of 8 or more—Encounters are easy and intuitive to build and balance for just the right level of challenge you like. Craft massive scale combat encounters, down to legendary solo encounters.
Strategic Weapon System A subtly DEEP weapon system that rewards thoughtful play. No more, “I guess I’ll pick the bigger one...” Every weapon is balanced to have interesting strengths & weaknesses in combat.

A fractured kingdom. A hidden lineage. A legacy of fire. Aethelgard, a kingdom on the brink of collapse. The King has passed and leaves behind a dangerous power vacuum filled by a grieving queen trying to protect their inexperienced child-prince son. A council of corrupt nobles circles like vultures, using blackmail and political gridlock to strip every bit of power they can from the boy. With the capital is consumed by this internal struggle, the outer military outposts and militia have been completely abandoned, cut off from all funding and reinforcements. The consequences are grim. A highly organized bandit syndicate has formed, taking control of all the southern trade routes, making travel extremely dangerous. Worse, formerly isolated gnoll tribes have begun to unify into a single massive warband. Their raids wipe out increasing amounts of outlying homesteads every day they go uncontested. Surrounded on all sides and abandoned by their rulers, the commonfolk are on the verge of open rebellion. Amidst this chaos, your party have managed to land one of the few paid contracts left in the realm: a job to hunt down this warband leader and stop the slaughter. However, what starts as a simple monster hunt will quickly pull you into something much darker, as you uncover a dangerous political plot underlying the entire crisis. Day and time: Saturdays at 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM CDT Starting June 13th Frequency: Weekly Platform: Owlbear Rodeo + Discord for Voice Theme: Heroic adventurers uncovering political plots, exploring lost lineages and fighting against corruption. Tone: Serious/Grounded. Joke/Meme/lolsorandom characters will not be welcome. House Rules: Several House Rules will be in effect. Documentation will be provided. Common Ancestries only. Balanced Stat Array. Slower Skill Progression. Looking for 3-4 players! Nimble/TTRPG Newbies are welcome! The system is new for many folks, patience is appreciated.

Adventures in Faerun: Fury Grove

Newbie friendly Newbie friendly
LGBTQ+ friendly LGBTQ+ friendly
Hey all! Running a one-shot this today at 4pm PST and looking for 1-2 more players (open to a 3rd if a friend group or couples want in together). Currently have 3 players locked in. New to Nimble or TTRPG's? No problem, happy to teach. Pick Your Adventure (players are voting between 6 options but tied for these 2 choices right now). The players have voted for Fury Grove. 🌲 Fury Grove Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn · Level 3 The wood elves of Laughing Hollow have stopped coming to the spring festival. No druid arrived to bless the crops at Greengrass, no envoy to keep the peace between the village and the fey. The villagers are frightened. The hollow has gone quiet. Something dark has taken root in the sacred grove. And whatever is growing in there is hungry to spread. Themes: wilderness horror, fey corruption, druidic mystery Combat High Roleplay Low Exploration High Intrigue Low ⛏️ A Deep and Creeping Darkness Candlekeep Mysteries · Level 4 Seventy years ago the platinum mine of Vermeillon collapsed, killing dozens. In the months that followed, the survivors began to vanish one by one, until the whole town went silent. A mining company wants to know if it's finally safe to dig again. The road in is long. The houses still stand. And something in the dark beneath the mountain remembers the taste of fear and has been waiting a very very long time for someone new to feed on. Themes: abandoned town, dread, slow-build horror Combat Medium Roleplay Low Exploration High Intrigue Low The Details: System: Nimble 2e Day/Time: Saturday, May 23rd. Start time TBD between 3-6pm PT depending on whats best for all players group availability. is now 4 pm PST Session length ~4-5 hours. You don't need to be in PT, but scheduling is built around PT. Platform: FoundryVTT + Discord. Camera not required, but encouraged! Frequency: Just this one-shot, but the server is set up for recurring one-shots until a party clicks and folks want to commit to something longer term. Age: Must be 18+. No adult themes at the table, but it's an adults-only group please. Vibe: LGBTQ+ friendly, dynamic to different RP styles (first person voices or 3rd person). I do silly voices sometimes. You're welcome to flavor how you want or not at all. Current players lean toward combat / mechanically aligned but our group loves our RP moments too. Homebrew / House Rules: We run close to RAW with two changes: Using the new armor system from the playtests (which may soon become the default core rules) Alternating initiative. After each hero goes, the GM goes. Has a "chess-like" feel, distinct from RAW side initiative where all heroes go then all monsters. About Me: I'm Trist. I run Nimble regularly and love the system. I'll teach you the rules if you're new, and I aim for a chill, welcoming table. I've had experience running modules for 5e, running one shots, and a little bit of Draw Steel. I have mostly settled on Nimble now. How to Join: Comment or DM with anything you'd like to clarify. Then I will DM you my Discord, where we will have a small brief questionnaire of 7 questions just to ensure our expectations match each others. Once we agree it's a fit, I'll send a server invite and you can vote in the poll for which adventure you'd like to run (currently tied between the two listed). After a few sessions of one-shots to make sure group chemistry lines up I will be pitching multiple campaigns or adventures to choose from. Happy gaming! Trist

I'm Kyle!  I have been GMing for the past 3 years, and played various systems since 2016.  Currently I run an in-person campaign of Nimble for my Friday night crew, and am looking to expand my online games to new players.  My GMing Style: I operate on the "Rule of Cool", and doing my best to enable a players idea within the rules of whatever game I am running. I like seeing what hijinks players get up to, and doing my best to navigate a campaign to where my players interests are.  My Player Style: I love playing Paladin/Holy Warrior archetypes, and try my best to play my characters in a manner that they fit in the vibe a GM is trying to curate. I mesh well with most groups and am very extroverted.  My Games of Choice: I love high-fantasy, and enjoy games that feature grid-based combat such as D&D 4th edition, Nimble RPG, Draw Steel, etc.  I tend not to enjoy sci-fi or cyberpunk games or settings.  Extra Info: I am married and a father of 2 boys. I am on the autism spectrum, and participate in several events for neurodivergant people. I work from home in the IT sector. I enjoy 3d printing and painting miniatures for my games.

My favorite thing to do is play TTRPGs. My 2nd favorite thing to do is talk about TTRPGs. I enjoy GM'ing as much as playing. Very experienced with a wide variety of games, looking for more opportunities to GM and play. You can check out my profile on Startplaying for more details: https://startplaying.games/gm/play-not-fight (I don't do paid games but I do like their profile tools!) (I'm not adding new games right now, but feel free to DM me to chat or to get added to my roster of players/and GMs for future stuff.)

Overseer Studio
Tools & Platforms

Overseer Studio

English
Paid
Organization
Overseer Studio is a modern, desktop based "Digital GM Screen" designed to solve the problem of browser tab bloat and fragmented software during tabletop sessions. Developed by Tom (the creator behind Astral TableTop and dddice), it is an offline first application that allows Game Masters to consolidate all their digital tools—including VTTs, PDFs, and web browsers—into a single, infinitely customizable workspace. It is currently moving through its Early Access phase in mid 2026, positioning itself as the ultimate organizational layer for the modern "hybrid" or online GM. Description Overseer Studio is not a Virtual Tabletop; rather, it is a "tool for your tools." It provides a modular canvas where a GM can embed windows for D&D Beyond, Spotify, Obsidian, and Roll20 side by side. By using a system of "tiles," GMs can create custom layouts that fit their specific workflow, switching between different "screens" with keyboard shortcuts. Because it is a local desktop application that requires no subscription or internet connection to run, it offers a level of stability and privacy that cloud based alternatives cannot match. System Overview & Key Features Infinite Modular Canvas The core of Overseer is an infinite workspace where you can place "tiles." These tiles can contain anything from a simple notepad or a PDF viewer to a fully functional web browser. You can resize, group, and tab these tiles together to create the perfect command center for your specific campaign. VTT and Tool Embedding Overseer is designed to play well with others. You can natively embed Foundry VTT, Roll20, or Owlbear Rodeo directly into your screen. This allows you to manage your map and tokens in one tile while keeping your campaign notes and creature stat blocks visible in another, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab between programs. Offline First Architecture The application runs entirely on your hardware (Windows, macOS, or Linux). This ensures that your game is never interrupted by server outages or slow internet speeds. Your data remains on your machine, giving you total ownership over your preparation materials. Pop-out Player Sharing While the software is for the GM, you can "pop out" any tile—such as a map, a piece of concept art, or a video—into a separate window. This window can then be shared via Discord or Zoom, or cast to a physical TV for in-person groups, allowing you to control exactly what the players see. Extensible Plugin SDK For power users, Overseer features a robust SDK. Extensions are built using standard web technologies (HTML/JS), allowing the community to create custom dice rollers, soundboards, or automation tools that can "talk" to each other across different tiles within the session. One Time Purchase Model In a market dominated by monthly fees, Overseer Studio is a "buy once, own forever" product. There are no account requirements or hidden subscriptions, and all future updates are included in the initial purchase price, making it a highly cost effective solution for long term GMs. Additional links overseer.studio - Official Overseer Studio website discord.gg - Official Discord for beta testing and development updates

Hi! My name is Cheto See, and I’m a Concept Artist/Illustrator. I make artwork for TTRPG Sourcebooks and even more fun, commissions of players’ characters. My specialty is designing characters, and helping people visually build their characters, sometimes in ways they couldn’t even imagine. I have a background in costume design, I continuously research historical clothing and equipment, and supernatural lore from many different cultures, and I even practice historical archery, and have dabbled in HEMA. When it comes to visually building fantasy characters, I know my stuff! /images/general-media/1779283367_8UhQmszY.jpg I can draw: - Full Body Character Artwork (with a plain background) - Half Body Character Artwork (with a simple background) - Character Reference Sheets (with Front and Back views and costume and prop callouts) - Even simple colored sketches just to help you visualize your character! You can check out my work at: https://artstation.com/chetosee https://www.instagram.com/chetosee.art/ /images/general-media/1779283386_tbVsjI61.jpg For rates and details, you can reach me at: chetosee@gmail.com Or place orders at: https://vgen.co/chetosee Thank you!
