Alpha Access — Now Open
The Dungeon Master's Command Centre
Stop juggling five browser tabs.
Everything your campaign needs. One place. Offline. Yours.
MasterForge Studio is a desktop application built exclusively for Dungeon Masters. It brings your worlds, campaigns, sessions, NPCs, factions, encounters, and loot tables into a single offline workspace — designed to work at the table, not against you.
No subscriptions. No cloud dependency. Your data lives on your machine, backed up how you choose, accessible anywhere - even at a table with no WiFi.
"The DM remains the storyteller. MasterForge manages the chaos."
— Core design philosophy
Built around real DM workflow - before, during, and after every session.
Instant context for wherever the party is. Environment, weather, creatures, factions, humanoids, rumours, and DM secrets - one view.
Structure every session: opening narration, goals, secrets to reveal, live notes, summary, and next-session hooks. Before, during, and after.
Read-aloud text, DM notes, and story beats - written and saved ahead of time, available in one click at the table.
Plan encounters, set initiative, cycle turns and rounds, track HP, conditions, armour class, notes, hidden enemies, fleeing creatures, and active combatants from one live combat screen.
d100 encounter tables filtered by region and party tier. Players roll the dice. You enter the number. MasterForge tells you what happens.
Region-appropriate loot tables and vendor generators. Treasure, discoveries, resources - instantly ready when the players search the room.
Region-specific weather tables tied to the environment. Roll a die, enter the result - the jungle storm or arctic wind appears instantly.
Track characters, levels, and party composition. Encounter difficulty, loot tiers, and travel danger adjust automatically.
Generate region-appropriate NPCs with names, appearances, personalities, secrets, and faction ties in seconds.
Install .mforge content packs - worlds, regions, encounters, factions, themes. Created by us or by the community.
MasterForge Studio is in active alpha development. We're looking for real Dungeon Masters to put it through its paces at the table - and help shape what it becomes.
Running campaigns now. Any system — D&D, Pathfinder, OSR, homebrew welcome.
We need critical eyes. Tell us what breaks, what's missing, and what doesn't feel right.
Alpha testers shape the roadmap. Your sessions decide what gets built next.
MasterForge is an offline desktop app. Windows Alpha access is first, with Mac testing planned as the build matures.
We’ll be in touch with your build and tester briefing once your Alpha request has been reviewed.
Live Alpha screenshots and development previews. Raw, honest, and getting better every build.
World and region intelligence, session prep, encounter and loot tables, weather system, NPC generator, party tracker, content pack installer, and theme system. Tested in a live campaign.
Universal entity system linking NPCs, factions, armies, ships, and locations into a traversable hierarchy. Your BBEG's generals. Their armies. Their regions. One connected world. See the gallery above for a live preview.
Initiative ordering, encounter planning, active combatant focus, HP controls, conditions, hidden creatures, combat notes, and round tracking are now being built into the live DM command centre.
Active plot threads, in-world calendar, day advancement with consequence prompts, and a campaign timeline the DM can actually keep track of.
Instant search across every NPC, location, session note, and faction. One-click Session Mode that collapses navigation and surfaces only what you need at the table.
Community-built worlds, adventure packs, themed content, and NPC collections — shared and installed through the MasterForge content pack system.
