GMToolKit is an application designed for the hard working Game Master (or GM) running a variety of Role Playing Games (RPG). It works great for players too. GMToolKit offers the traditional die rolling with just a tap, but goes beyond your typical dice rolling program by offering: - Automatic hands-free rolling: Turn it on and a new roll is generated every one half to ten second interval. Just glance down for a quick check...they’ll never know you’re rolling for wandering monsters until it is too late! Got your hands full in battle, let the system roll attack checks for you. - Define your own multi-dice roll sets: Need to roll 10 sets of 2d6..you’re covered. Need to calculate the damager when the thief falls from the tower ... no problem! Need to compare success vs. failure (1s vs. 6s)... ready to serve! - Stuck for an NPC (Non-player character) name for that mysterious figure in the tavern...generate a unique one with a single tap on the screen. Don’t like that batch, tap and tap again. - Place name generator creates unusual place names inspired by Germanic, Old English, Latin, and Gaelic languages - Ever find your players visiting a new room and you need a quick description...it is another tap away. You’ll have a basic idea of furniture and items to start painting your own descriptive tapestry. Not quite what you wanted.. don’t worry just tap again and again. The random names are based on a combination algorithm not from fragments or see words. You may get some interesting, cool, and very fantasy like names but will never want to name your baby with them. The room generator has over 100 items, dress pieces/furniture, and special items used to populate 10 templates. Finally, every gamer and Game Master know the dice get cold and you need to pull out a new set. Just tap the “seed” button to re-seed your virtual dice bag! ## Key features - Automatic hands-free dice rolling - Custom multi-dice roll sets - NPC name generator - Place name generator - Quick room description generator - Dice re-seeding functionality ## Is GMToolKit safe?

Some of the fonts are a bit too fanciful to read easily, but the generator functions are useful and fun. ### 3/5 — Decent *2011-10-17* A good dice rolling system and a good name generator. My only complaint is that you can't see previously generated things, once you skip it, it's gone. ### 4/5 — nice little app *2011-07-06* Nice little app you made for us here. Thanks ### 1/5 — Lackluster app *2011-05-13* I was disappointed with this app. The reference guides turned out to be links to wiki pages, not actual local data. The room generator is interesting, but the rest of the app has gotten no use from me. I do not recommend. ### 5/5 — 18! *2011-05-03* Thanks for making a good quality, free tool. ### 1/5 — Awful *2011-02-08* Not a gd thing in here for a DM. Waste of time to dl, even for free. ### 5/5 — Utility incarnate *2011-01-26* Has my dice which is all I REALLY need but the name generator has saved my skin in an unexpected situation or two. Glad to have it. I highly recommend this sleek little pocket book of rpg goodness to all who play table top games not only GMs and DMs, though it benefits them most. ### 5/5 — A must have! *2010-10-14* This app is truly helpful. I have no complaints; it works without glitches, no crashes, and very useful. As someone else said, the fonts could be simpler, but as is it's a great tool! ### 4/5 — Awesome but needs something *2010-06-28* This app is great! Extremely helpful! Everything's amazing but would be nice to have a coin on the roller option. I don't like having to type it all in in the multi dice option every time I need to flip a coin. Also would be nice if there were some animation and ability to roll the last die in roller option by clicking the number and/or shaking the device. Great app though thanks! ### 5/5 — Just great *2010-04-08* The dice roller is awsome on it's own. For free it's more than u could ask. Thanks ## Frequently asked questions about GMToolKit ### How does GMToolKit's automatic dice rolling work?
