Overseer Studio

Overview

Overseer Studio is a modern, desktop based "Digital GM Screen" designed to solve the problem of browser tab bloat and fragmented software during tabletop sessions. Developed by Tom (the creator behind Astral TableTop and dddice), it is an offline first application that allows Game Masters to consolidate all their digital tools—including VTTs, PDFs, and web browsers—into a single, infinitely customizable workspace. It is currently moving through its Early Access phase in mid 2026, positioning itself as the ultimate organizational layer for the modern "hybrid" or online GM. Description Overseer Studio is not a Virtual Tabletop; rather, it is a "tool for your tools." It provides a modular canvas where a GM can embed windows for D&D Beyond, Spotify, Obsidian, and Roll20 side by side. By using a system of "tiles," GMs can create custom layouts that fit their specific workflow, switching between different "screens" with keyboard shortcuts. Because it is a local desktop application that requires no subscription or internet connection to run, it offers a level of stability and privacy that cloud based alternatives cannot match. System Overview & Key Features
Infinite Modular Canvas The core of Overseer is an infinite workspace where you can place "tiles." These tiles can contain anything from a simple notepad or a PDF viewer to a fully functional web browser. You can resize, group, and tab these tiles together to create the perfect command center for your specific campaign.
VTT and Tool Embedding Overseer is designed to play well with others. You can natively embed Foundry VTT, Roll20, or Owlbear Rodeo directly into your screen. This allows you to manage your map and tokens in one tile while keeping your campaign notes and creature stat blocks visible in another, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab between programs.
Offline First Architecture The application runs entirely on your hardware (Windows, macOS, or Linux). This ensures that your game is never interrupted by server outages or slow internet speeds. Your data remains on your machine, giving you total ownership over your preparation materials.
Pop-out Player Sharing While the software is for the GM, you can "pop out" any tile—such as a map, a piece of concept art, or a video—into a separate window. This window can then be shared via Discord or Zoom, or cast to a physical TV for in-person groups, allowing you to control exactly what the players see.
Extensible Plugin SDK For power users, Overseer features a robust SDK. Extensions are built using standard web technologies (HTML/JS), allowing the community to create custom dice rollers, soundboards, or automation tools that can "talk" to each other across different tiles within the session.
One Time Purchase Model In a market dominated by monthly fees, Overseer Studio is a "buy once, own forever" product. There are no account requirements or hidden subscriptions, and all future updates are included in the initial purchase price, making it a highly cost effective solution for long term GMs.

If that sounds like a good deal, I'd love to earn your sub! I'd be happy to start by answering ANY D&D question you might have, either in the comments section, on my discord server, or in a dedicated video. Just drop a comment and I'll do my best to help.

Kenku FM

Audio & Music
Free
Kenku FM is a specialized high fidelity audio sharing application designed specifically for tabletop gaming over Discord. Created by the developers of Owlbear Rodeo, it was released in 2022 to provide a reliable, high quality alternative to traditional Discord music bots. It functions as a standalone virtual browser and media player that acts as a bridge, streaming audio directly from a user's computer into a Discord voice channel with minimal latency and superior sound quality. Description Kenku FM solves the common problem of sharing immersive music and sound effects during online TTRPG sessions. Instead of relying on buggy cloud bots that often face copyright shutdowns, Kenku FM runs locally on the Game Master's computer. It allows the GM to log in as a "Bot" on their own Discord server, giving them total control over the audio stream. It is a lightweight, open source tool that treats audio as a vital part of the storytelling toolkit rather than an afterthought. System Overview & Key Features Integrated Web Browser Kenku FM features a built in browser designed specifically for audio. You can open tabs for YouTube, Spotify, Tabletop Audio, or Syrinscape and stream the audio directly into your Discord call without needing to share your screen or lose audio quality. Local File Playback The app acts as a robust media player for your personal sound library. You can create playlists from your own MP3 and WAV files, allowing for instant playback of specific combat themes or environmental ambiance stored on your hard drive. Soundboard Functionality Users can set up a custom soundboard within the interface. This allows a Game Master to trigger one shot sound effects like sword clashing, explosions, or monster growls at the perfect narrative moment with a single click. Stream Deck Integration For power users, Kenku FM offers a dedicated plugin for the Elgato Stream Deck. This allows the GM to control volume, skip tracks, and trigger soundboard effects using physical buttons, keeping their hands free to manage the game and maps. High Quality Audio Engine By using a dedicated bot connection rather than standard screen sharing, Kenku FM maintains high bitrate stereo audio. This ensures that orchestral scores and subtle environmental textures sound exactly as intended for every player in the voice channel. Open Source and Privacy The software is open source and runs locally, meaning it does not track your data or rely on external servers that can be shut down. You own the software and have total control over the bot account you create to facilitate the stream.

Hail Adventurer well met! Stockholm D&D is an 18+ community arranging recurring D&D sessions at one of the friendly local gaming stores in Stockholm. We have been arranging sessions in a persistent shared universe using D&D 5e since 2019. We are transitioning to D&D 5.5e in 2026. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned veteran, players and Dungeon Masters are welcome to join “The Guild” and adventure across the worlds of D&D. The thread that ties all the characters together is “The Guild”, a trans-planar organisation offering the service of adventuring parties to those in need. “The Guild” allows player characters from any plane to team up and do the good work of “The Guild” in whatever world the Dungeon Master wishes to run the adventure in. Play begins at level 3 with each session played earning you half a level, meaning you'll level up every other session. We administer our events, sessions and characters through a Discord server where detailed rules about supported sources for character creation etc. are presented. Links facebook.com - Facebook page
