THE TABLE PROBLEMS
Twelve tabs for one session.A wiki you have to feed.A campaign held in your head.
Just the grimoire that runs your table.
Every tool a Dungeon Master needs, in one tab: encounter runner, worldbuilding, a real soundboard, homebrew and printable cards. Built to enhance the game you already play in person, with the table still at the center.
No card. Start with a real campaign. Always free for your players.

FROM EMPTY PAGE TO LIVE SESSION
Three steps. Tea still warm.
Open your grimoire
Sign up free, no card. Your first campaign is ready before the kettle finishes boiling.
Stock the shelves
Drop in Open5e monsters and SRD content, or homebrew your own NPCs, items and read-aloud in the Scriptorium.
Run the table
Launch the runner, cue the soundboard, and (radical idea) actually look your players in the eye.
ENCOUNTER RUNNER · LIVE
This isn't a screenshot.
It's the actual runner.
Initiative, HP, conditions, factions and mid-combat spawning, and your players never see a loading spinner. Go on, knock something out:
↓ Yes, the buttons work. We're not animals.

TWELVE TOOLS, PRETENDING TO BE ONE APP
Each module could be someone's whole startup. They just happen to share a tab.
The worldbuilding depth to make a campaign feel alive, with less time filling in fields you'll never read again.
Encounter Runner
Initiative, HP, conditions, factions and mid-combat spawning. The TPK is on you; the bookkeeping is on us.

Turn the NPCs, monsters, items and spells already in your campaign into printable trading-card or tarot-sized cards. Hand your players something real.
Read on →Scriptorium
A homebrew editor styled like the 2024 PHB, with the stat blocks and page furniture already built. Your terrible pun finally looks official.
Read on →Soundboard
Ambience, one-shot effects and Spotify playlists in the same campaign tab, ready when the scene changes.
Read on →Atlas
Hierarchical locations, from kingdom down to tavern stool.
Calendars

Summon a tavern, a quest hook, a villain’s monologue.AI: off. Completely. We mean it.
Generate NPCs, stat cards, item descriptions and read-aloud text in seconds, on 1,500 credits a month with Pro. Handy when prep night runs short and the session is tomorrow.Flip one switch and every AI button vanishes. No nags, no “sprinkle of magic,” no asterisks. Same grimoire, fully hand-rolled, for the table that wants none of the current wave.
THE PLAYER PORTAL · ALWAYS FREE
Six months later. Five days in-game. One note that saves the session.
Your players can pin a note to everything: every NPC, location, item, quest and session. Two kinds: private notes only they see, and party notes the whole table shares.
So when you finally meet that witch again, they click People, scroll to her (it lists every NPC they've ever met), and there it is, in their own words.
PIN A NOTE TO ANYTHING:
- NPCs
- Monsters
- Factions
- Towns & buildings
- Locations
- Items
- Quests
- Sessions
- that one cursed door

THE SYSTEMS, NONE OF THE SPREADSHEETS
All the systems video games made you love. None of the clunk that makes them a slog at the table.
Crafting, quests, factions, reputation, downtime: RPGs trained us to expect them. At the table they usually mean sticky notes and forgotten subplots. The systems aren't the problem; the bookkeeping is. So we run the bookkeeping.
Workshop
Crafting & cooking with real recipes, components and downtime, all tracked for you. Players forge the sword. Nobody audits an inventory.
Quest Log
Every thread, who gave it and what's owed, so "wait, what were we doing?" stops eating the first twenty minutes of every session.
Faction Tracker
Reputation and rivalries that shift as the party meddles. The guild remembers what they did. So does the app.
Portrait Gallery
Every hero, NPC and villain gets original art in Grimoire's own painted style. A cast that actually looks like a grimoire, not a stack of grey placeholder tokens.
The point was never fewer systems. It was less paperwork between you and the story.
INVENTORY & ECONOMY, ON AUTOPILOT
Real coins. Self-sorting purses. A merchant who might be lying.
Hand an item to an NPC and let them sell it. Grimoire tracks every coin: players can only buy what they can afford, the item lands straight in their bag, and a sack of copper sorts its own change. What the item actually is? That's between you and your conscience.

“Hums faintly. Definitely magical.” So says the merchant, lying.

THE HONEST COMPARISON
You, but with fewer browser tabs.
| Pen, paper & 12 tabs | Other campaign tools | Dungeon Grimoire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set up an encounter | Index cards everywhere | Depends on the tool | Drag, drop, done |
| What players pay | Free (it's paper) | Varies by plan | Always free |
| Turn AI fully off | It's a pencil | Depends on the tool | One toggle |
| Printable character cards | Laminator at the ready | May need another tool | Card Forge |
| Homebrew that looks pro | Comic Sans, sadly | Varies by workflow | Scriptorium |
| Still shipping features | n/a | Check their current roadmap | Actively, today |
| Plays at a real table | Yes! | Built for different setups | Built for it |
Every table has its own setup. This is the quick workflow comparison.

BEFORE YOU ASK IN DISCORD
Questions a DM would actually ask.
Do my players have to pay?
No. Ever. The Player Portal is free for everyone at your table, no matter which plan you're on. You upgrade for DM superpowers; they just show up and play.
Is this a VTT?
No. Grimoire is built to support in-person or voice play: keep your prep, notes and encounter tools together while you stay focused on the people at the table.
Can I really turn the AI off?
Completely. One switch hides every AI feature: no nags, no “sprinkle of magic,” no asterisks. Same grimoire, fully hand-rolled, for the table that wants none of the current wave.
What do the 1,500 AI credits do?
On Pro, they power NPC generation, stat cards, read-aloud text, plot hooks and more, at 1,500 a month. Plenty for prep night when the session's tomorrow. Don't want them? See the switch above.
Is the AI stuff legal in the EU?
Yes, and not by accident. The EU AI Act's transparency rules took effect in August 2026, and Grimoire meets them today instead of coasting on the grace period. Turning AI on is an explicit choice for each campaign. Everything generated wears an AI badge, images and music carry invisible machine-readable marks, and flipping AI off later never quietly unlabels what it made.
Is it ready to use?
Yes. Start a campaign, bring in your own NPCs and homebrew, and run a session with the tools that are already there. New features continue to arrive as the product grows.
Is Card Forge free?
Yes. Card Forge is included in the Free DM plan, so you can turn the NPCs, monsters, items and spells in your campaign into printable cards without upgrading. Pro adds room for larger campaigns and monthly AI credits.
What content is included?
Open5e monsters and SRD content, free sound libraries and community material come built in. Everything that's free to us is free to you, and free to your players.
Will my homebrew look official?
The Scriptorium styles documents like the 2024 PHB, and gives you the stat blocks, callouts and page furniture as blocks you pick rather than markup you write. Your cursed pun has never looked so legitimate.
Your players are already arguing about initiative.
Give them a DM who isn't fumbling through twelve tabs. Start free with Card Forge included. No card required.
