ChipTable is a virtual chip board for Texas Hold'em played with real cards. You deal the cards; ChipTable handles the tedious part β€” chip counts, turn order, and the pot. No poker chips, or don't want money on the table? One phone is all you need. β–  Who it's for - Home poker nights with no physical chips around - Playing for stakes like dish duty or a coffee run instead of cash - Anyone tired of miscounting side pots and minimum raises β–  Features - Free bet amounts plus Min / Β½ Pot / Pot / All-in presets - Only the player to act is highlighted β€” no more betting on the wrong seat - Undo, even across hand boundaries - Automatic all-in and side-pot math, plus chopped pots - Automatic blinds, with manual and automatic blind-up - Room mode: invite by code and play from your own phones (online sync) - English/Korean, and your game survives a refresh β–  What it is NOT - It does not render cards or judge hands (you use a real deck). - Chips have no monetary value; there is no cash-out or settlement. - It is not for real-money gambling. ChipTable chips are just a score. Play light, play often.

Custom Clocktower is a fan-made companion for Blood on the Clocktower players and Storytellers. Look up characters and build scripts before the game, then run it from the Grimoire on your phone. Look up characters Search by name, character ID or team, across Townsfolk, Outsiders, Minions, Demons, Travellers, Fabled and Loric. Each character shows its ability along with night order, reminders and jinxes where they apply. For tips on running a character, the Almanac collects Ben Finney's unofficial commentary. Scripts and custom characters Make your own characters with your own artwork, abilities, reminder tokens and jinxes. Custom characters are private by default; anyone viewing a script that includes them can see them. Import scripts from JSON, share them by link, and export them as an image or JSON file. Run the game Pick a script and hand out characters yourself, or send each player a link to get their own. The Grimoire shows the night order and lets you add reminders and notes. Host a live game and players join from the app on their own phones with a join code. Token positions and status markers are cleared when you leave the Grimoire, so finish the game before you navigate away. Between games Try the official quizzes or write your own, and keep the rules and glossary at hand. Good to know β€’ You don't need an account to browse characters or run games.
