Tools & Platforms

Inkroll is a web platform for playing tabletop RPGs play-by-post: asynchronously, in written posts, on each player's own schedule, with a human gamemaster running the table. It sits between heavyweight real-time VTTs and plain forum software; the writing stays the point, but the platform actually understands characters, dice, secrets, and the GM's role instead of leaving them on the side. It is also, deliberately, a beautiful place to spend a campaign. Inkroll was built by play-by-post players who wanted the game to read as well as it plays: a calm, candlelit page of ink and parchment where posts get the space of a book, quoted speech and images are cleanly styled, and every table can choose the look and post layout that suit its story. The tools stay out of the way until the moment a hand reaches for them, so a session feels like reading and writing a novel with friends, not operating software. Dice are typed straight into a post, like {Perception:1d20+2}, rolled once on the server the moment the post is published, then frozen, with a per-post audit the whole table can see, so a result can never be edited or quietly re-rolled. Players post as their characters, with portraits, versioned character sheets, and quick stat updates (hit points, spell slots, conditions) committed together with the post. GMs get sealed passages delivered to exactly the players they choose, chapters, scene notes with a world map and a per-chapter battle map, and live updates with typing indicators and read markers, so an asynchronous table still feels alive. Long campaigns are first-class citizens: the Chronicle keeps a running recap of every chapter and every character met, and answers questions from the campaign's own posts, so a returning player or a newcomer catches up in minutes. And because a campaign written like a book deserves to become one, a finished game can be exported as a designed, print-ready PDF or EPUB. Games already in progress can be imported from Myth-Weavers or Discord with posts, characters, images, and dice results intact. Ready-made sheets cover D&D Fifth Edition, Pathfinder 2e, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Cortex Prime, and Grimwild, plus a system-agnostic option and a builder for custom rulesets with their own dice mechanics. New systems are also gladly added upon request.

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).
