Where Game Masters Stay in the Story

Your players get the adventure. You should too.

Running a session shouldn’t feel like juggling tools. ArcForge keeps everything in one place so you stay in the story, not buried in tabs.

The story is flowing
then you stop

You need a note. A rule. A map. Initiative. The scene breaks while you hunt through tools and the tension leaks out of the table.

01

Find a note

You leave the moment to dig through prep, docs, or old session notes.

The table waits.
02

Open another tab

Now you are juggling maps, rules, music, and combat in separate places.

The pacing slips.
03

Check initiative

Combat admin takes over and the energy shifts from story to management.

The tension drops.

ArcForge Replaces This With

One workspace for scenes, combat, maps, notes, and GM tools, so the story keeps moving while you stay at the table.

Scene Notes
Combat Tracker
Battle Maps
Dice Roller
NPC Tools
Quest Manager

About ArcForge

Crafting/Forge/anvil.png
“I didn't build ArcForge to organize my notes. I built it because I wanted running the game to feel as immersive as playing it. When your tools disappear into the background, you get to actually be at the table with your players.”
Nolan
Founder & Game Master

AI when you want it. Full control when you don’t.

Replace your notes, your tools, and your prep workflow

Common Questions

Is ArcForge really free?

Yes! Our free tier includes 2 generated adventures per month, unlimited manual campaigns, all session-running tools (combat tracker, initiative, timers), and access to every core feature. No credit card required.

Do I need to use AI?

No. AI is completely optional. Many Game Masters use ArcForge purely for running sessions without ever touching generation. Every tool, combat tracker, dice, music, maps, notes, works without AI. Your creativity runs the show. The Forge just helps when you want it.

Can I import my existing campaign?

Yes. Upload Word docs, PDFs, or text files and ArcForge reformats them into organized scenes. You can also manually create everything from scratch.

What game systems does ArcForge support?

ArcForge is system-agnostic and works with any tabletop RPG. Whether you play popular systems or homebrew rules, the tools adapt to your needs.

Can I use it during live sessions?

That’s what it’s built for. Track initiative in real-time, manage combat, display handouts, roll dice, and switch between scenes while you run your game.

What is Learn & Play Solo?

ArcForge acts as your Game Master, teaching you TTRPG rules as you play through a solo adventure. Make choices, roll skill checks, manage inventory, gain XP, level up, and fight in combat. No group needed.

How does the Player Companion work?

Players join your campaign using an invite code and get their own dashboard with character sheet, HP tracking, ability scores, spell slot management, and equipment.
