Grimshackle is a table's worth of free, browser-based tools for tabletop game masters. Build the encounter, the tavern, the shop, and the dice — in seconds, with no account and nothing to install. Everything runs in your browser and stays private to you.
One consistent table — the same three systems across every tool.

One workshop, one promise
The prep that eats your week, handled.
Every Grimshackle tool exists for the same moment: the fight you didn't stat, the tavern you didn't write, the shop your players insist on visiting, the die that rolled under the couch. Each one clears away the busywork in a click — and hands the epic straight back to you.
"Grimshackle never touches a GM's creativity. It takes away the mundane — and makes it epic."
Four tools · one table
Pick up whichever one the night needs.
Each tool stands on its own and runs free in your browser. Together they cover the whole table.
Free, private, and built to disappear into the game.
The same principles run through every tool. No paywalls, no sign-ups, no data leaving your device — just fast, good-looking help that gets out of the way.
Free to use
Every tool is free to use in full. No trial timer, no paywall, no premium tier waiting to spring on you mid-session.
No account, no install
Nothing to download and nobody to sign up as. Open a browser tab and you're already running the table.
Private to your device
Your taverns, shops, encounters, and dice live in your own browser — not on our servers. Save locally and pick up later.
Three systems, one look
D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, and Daggerheart in every tool — with numbers that re-stat the moment you switch systems.
Desktop & mobile
Built to work behind the screen on a laptop or one-handed on a phone at the far end of the table.
Made for Game Masters
Every tool is shaped around the moment behind the screen — clearing the busywork and handing the epic back to you.
Four tools, one evening
They stack into a single session.
Spin up the roadside inn in Tavernwright. When the night turns into a brawl, stat it in Battlesmith. Kit out the survivors at Shoppekeep. And let Rollstones settle every roll in between — one consistent look, the same three systems, no logins to trip over.
STEP 01
Set the scene
Tavernwright fills the room with people, a menu, and a plot to pull on.
STEP 02
Run the fight
Battlesmith turns names into playable stat blocks and tracks the chaos live.
STEP 03
Spend the spoils
Shoppekeep prices the loot and runs the haggling at the next town over.
ALL NIGHT
Roll it out
Rollstones handles every check, save, and crit — with dice that never hit the floor.
Common questions

Is Grimshackle really free?
Yes — all four tools are free to use in full, with no account and no premium tier. Nothing is held back behind a paywall.
Which game systems are supported?
D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, and Daggerheart — switch systems in a tool and the numbers re-stat to match.

No. Every tool runs in your browser on desktop or mobile, and your work stays private on your own device.
Who is it for?
Game masters and dungeon masters of any experience — from first session to hundredth — who'd rather improvise than prep.
