Where We Build Better D&D Homebrew
Tools, systems, and resources for designers, Dungeon Masters, and anyone who wants to understand how D&D mechanics actually work — built with craft-first design.
Built specifically for Dungeon Masters, this is the music tool your table has been missing. Stop fumbling with playlists mid-session. Find exactly the right track in seconds, switch scenes with one click, and let your whole table listen along, live.
The DM's view: filter chips, saved scenes, the tagged queue and a live listening room.
Composed for D&D and tagged across seven categories: creature type, encounter, energy, musical style, emotion, setting and atmosphere.
Stack tags with AND, OR and NOT. Dragon music that isn't ambient? Two clicks. Mute any tag you never want to hear.
Save your filters as scenes like Tavern, Dungeon Crawl or Dragon Fight, then change the whole mood of the table with one click.
Change the filters and the current song keeps playing. Let it finish, or skip straight to the new list with a smooth crossfade.
Share one link and your players hear exactly what you play, live, in their browser. No bots, no downloads, no accounts. Works alongside Discord or any voice chat, and you can hide song titles to avoid spoilers.
Drag in a zip, a folder or MP3s. The player guesses tags from song names, and you can tag dozens of songs at once or retag any track.
Opens with the full library loaded. Your music, tags and scenes are remembered in your browser, ready for next session.
Keyboard shortcuts, shuffle, loop, previous and next, and your own volume control that never changes what your players hear.
Two kinds of resources — tools you run and documents you read. Both built around the same craft-first philosophy.
Interactive tools built for the table. The Music Player is just the beginning — more programs for DMs and homebrew designers are in development. Free to use, built for the craft.
Written systems and frameworks — how to build legendary and epic creatures, the subclass conversion system, original homebrew subclasses, and more. Craft-first design theory in practice.
