GMToolkit vs Dekard

This app generates randomized content for a Game Master (GM)/Dungeon Master (DM) to use during their game. It's designed to be easy to read and simple, making it perfect for using on-the-fly mid-game. As a GM/DM, your job is to fill in the gaps created by this app, or to use it for inspiration. For example, if you create a randomized City, it might give you descriptions like: - Theocracy - Egg Statues - Soot - Sacrifice - Rogue Knights So you might start describing the city as covered in soot with large stone egg statues. As your players start exploring the city, you can piece together in your head what's really going on: perhaps this is a dragon-worshipping city run by a cult. They have a yearly ritual where they hatch a dragon egg and sacrifice commoners to the newborn, however a group of defiant knights have started fighting back against this practice. This app is made of 75% human writing, then 25% AI writing based on that human writing (using Anthropic and self-improvement algorithms). If this app does well I'll come back and add an option to filter out the AI writing, but I made this app primarily for myself so I don't have a need for it personally. The writing is vetted and makes it less likely for content to run out.

With Dekard you can build fully customizable editable "cards" for player characters, familiars, NPCs and more, where you track state such as hit points, spell slots, experience, conditions, or any other data you choose. Since the cards are built by you and fully customizable with the precise trackers you want, Dekard can support any TTRPG or even other types of games, whether it's Dungeons and Dragons, Vampire: The Masquerade, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, non-RPG games such as Gloomhaven, or any other system. Free to try: includes one free card, enough for most casual players. This app is not a replacement for a full character sheet (paper or digital), though you can add any information you want. Instead it is intended as a companion tool, a replacement for the parts that change often during a game session. So put down that pencil and eraser and pick up this app and start tracking! Trackers that you can add to a card include: - Numeric (for Health, Resolve, Experience, etc) - Pool (for Spell slots, Rage, Edge, Damage, Hunger, etc) - Tags (for Conditions, Magical effects, Injuries, etc) - Switch (for Raging, Concentrating, Injured, etc) - Quantities (for Money, Inventory, etc) - Free Text (for Aspects, Character notes, etc) - Configurable Buttons (for New turn, Long rest, etc) - ...and more! Other features include a full history of value changes, customizable summary values in card lists, and a simple turn tracker. In‑app purchases: you get 1 free card. Buy a limit increase to add more cards or remove the limit entirely. --- The names and trademarks mentioned as examples in this text are the property of their respective owners.
