Dice Goblin is a tool for the statistical analysis of attacks in tabletop wargames. The program simulates a large number of attempts at rolling a given number of dice, applies one or multiple modifiers common in tabletop wargames, and reports the average "damage" inflicted in the simulation. Conveniently, the modifiers are selected by the user in several simple, consecutive steps. Unusually among similar apps, a graph with the distribution of "damage" is also shown, allowing the user to see not only the average result, but also the probability spread. Each simulation can be stored in the app's archive and visually compared with other simulations. The application offers a free trial for seven days.
Muster Army Builder

Muster is a fast army-list builder for miniature tabletop wargames. Muster ships empty and imports the community-maintained datasets you already use, so your unit and rules data always comes from your own source — not from us. • Build legal lists — add units, set a points limit, and watch a live budget as you go. • Detachments & enhancements — pick detachments and enhancements with automatic points/slot enforcement. • Import your data — load community dataset files at runtime; nothing is bundled. • Dice roller — D3/D6/D12/D20 with history, for quick in-game rolls. • Collection tracker — record which miniatures you own and their paint status. • Campaign tracker — track your force across a narrative campaign with rank and experience progression. • AI list coaching (Pro) — a read on your list's strengths, weaknesses and swaps, or a plan for a specific opponent. • No account, no sign-up — your lists stay on your device. Muster needs a connection twice: once to download a dataset, and again if you use the AI features, which send only your list text for analysis. Everything else works offline. Muster Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It unlocks unlimited army lists (free covers one), Rate My List, matchup analysis, and all future Pro features. Not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by any game publisher. For use with your own rulebooks and community data.
