I'm clearing your feed of AI, Overseer Studio is a hand-crafted digital GM screen

I'm growing exhausted of seeing a new VTT or TTRPG tool popup every single day. There is no innovation and everyone is clearly vibe coding some solution hoping to make money with little effort. It's depressing to see because I love this hobby.

I fell in love with tabletop games 10-years ago because it allowed me to stretch a creative muscle I didn't use for a very long time before. Things weren't black and white, solutions came in many forms. They allowed me to be authentic and witty. I LOVE these games and I love introducing new people to the hobby because I want them to feel the same joy I did years ago.

In between those 10-years I built Astral Tabletop, dddice, and now Overseer Studio.

Overseer Studio is a one-time purchase, downloadable app to organize all your tabs, PDFs, applications, and more in one convenient digital GM screen. You can add shortcuts, customize scenes however you like, and you can even write your own plugins to expand the functionality of Overseer with new themes, languages, tiles, and more.

In many ways, Overseer is the product I wish I had when I first started DMing. It keeps me personally organized and I've heard from countless others that they truly love using Overseer.

Overseer isn't a VTT, but it works with your VTT and many, many other tools.

I'd love if you tried Overseer at your table for your next online or in-person session. You can try it for free for as long as you like and if Overseer works for you, it's on $24 in early access.

Happy gaming!

I built a Fear Tracker for my custom digital GM screen

Disclaimer: Not AI slop, I've been a developer for about 20-years now and previously built 2 other bigger TTRPG tools.

I'm pretty happy with the results of this so far! It even has keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease fear easily without having the frame focused.

I'm planning to release it for free for anyone to use. What do you think?

Overseer Studio, a digital GM screen to organize all your TTRPG tools in one place

A number of months ago (wow, nearly a year!) I started a quest to build the ultimate GM tool. I wanted to build something that would take all the amazing tools others have built over the years and combine them into one cohesive tool to make running a session frictionless. No alt-tabbing, no "wait hold on one second"s, just instant access to the tools I used most with a single keystroke. The truth is, there is no perfect tool for everyone and I've always been much happier when picking and choosing different tools to make my sessions better; but I've struggled at organizing them all.

Overseer Studio a digital binder/GM screen for your session, whether that's run in-person or over Discord.

I'm extremely happy with how far I've gotten in just under a year. We've recruited over 60+ beta users to really put Overseer to the test and I think it's in a state where it can soon be released. Today, Overseer can combine all your websites, PDFs, native applications, and so much more into one digital GM screen. We even have a plugin publishing system where developers can write plugins and premade GM screens and share them with the community!

I'm writing this post because I originally posted the idea for Overseer here on /r/VTT and I want you folks to be the first to know that I'm planning to launch Early Access in June. Early Access users are locked in for 50% off the launch price of $30 ($15) - one-time purchase, never a subscription.

I want to thank the TTRPG community for always being my inspiration and for being a constant light in my life. More-so than ever, I cherish the creativity of the community when it comes to creating and sharing stories and hope that Overseer encourages you to create more of them.

Whether you're a dedicated Foundry VTT GM or a casual GM that plays once a month on Roll20 or Owlbear Rodeo, I believe Overseer can help improve your sessions.

Happy to answer any questions or comments you might have!

Cheers, Tom
