ArcForge is the all-in-one workspace for Game Masters and solo players of D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e. It handles the busywork- scenes, combat, maps, notes, loot, and tracking - so you spend less time prepping and more time at the table. ArcForge doesn't tell your story; it hands you the tools and gets out of the way. Everything is yours to edit, rewrite, and make your own. Free to start.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'll say the quiet part out loud: in TTRPGs, a lot of us are wary of "AI" - and for good reason. These games are about imagination, your table, and the story you tell together. Nothing replaces that, and ArcForge isn't trying to. I built ArcForge because prep and bookkeeping were eating my creative time - juggling PDFs, dice, notes, initiative, loot, and a dozen tabs. ArcForge pulls all of that into one place so the tedious stuff gets out of your way: • 🗺️ Scene & campaign organizer + battle maps • ⚔️ Combat tracker, NPCs, loot, spells, and 25+ session tools • 🎲 Solo Play with a built-in rules companion that teaches the rules as you go - great for learning or playing when your group can't meet • 📱 Web, iOS, and Android Everything is fully editable - it's a workbench, not a storyteller, unless you want it to be. You're always the one holding the pen. Supports D&D 5e (2024) and Pathfinder 2e, and it's free to start. I'd genuinely love your feedback - especially from folks who run games every week. What eats your prep time the most? - Nolan, solo founder & lifelong GM

One thing that would be a huge win for my group is a built-in initiative tracker that auto-rolls and sorts, and lets players see the order in real time on their phones. Right now I am juggling a separate app and it breaks the flow every combat. If ArcForge handled that natively, it would basically be the only tab I keep open on game night.

love that everything is fully editable and not locked behind some rigid system structure, that kind of respect for the gm's creative control is honestly rare to see in ttrpg tools

love that everything's editable down to the core, so it actually fits whatever weird homebrew rules my table throws at it instead of fighting me on it

Confession: I love TTRPGs but I'm honestly bad at the creative part

I love tabletop games. The worlds, the characters, the moment a player does something you never saw coming. But if I'm being honest, I'm not naturally good at the creative side of it.

I blank on NPC names. I freeze when players go off the rails. I spend hours prepping and still feel like I'm winging it at the table. For a long time that made me feel like I wasn't "a real GM."

So, I built ArcForge, basically as scaffolding for people like me. It handles the parts my brain isn't wired for (organizing scenes, tracking combat and loot, keeping notes straight, giving me a starting point when I'm stuck) so I can actually show up and enjoy the game instead of drowning in prep. It's not there to tell the story for me. It's there so I stop quitting before I get to the fun part.

I don't think I'm alone in this. So I'm curious:
