Help & guide

Everything you need to run (or play) your table with ScryMaster. Signed in? Look for the ? button for an in-app walkthrough.

Getting started

Sign in: Open the app and sign in with Google (or an email magic link). First time in, you’ll claim a character — or take the DM seat.
Claim your spot: Players pick their character; the DM claims the DM seat. Each person edits only their own sheet (the DM can edit anyone’s).

Open the table display: In the DM console → Table Display → “Open table display”, then drag that window to the screen your players can see (a TV or second monitor).
What players see: Initiative order, whose turn it is, fuzzy enemy status (Healthy / Bloodied / Dead), scene art and music — never your hidden HP or notes.
Themes & card frames: Pick a display theme (Classic / Obsidian / Parchment) and optionally show each combatant’s collectible card on the board.

Run combat: Stage a fight, roll initiative, then step through turns. Track HP, conditions, reactions, legendary & lair actions, with one-click undo.
Build your world: Create homebrew monsters, weapons, items (including potions), abilities and spells in the Library; design collectible cards in the Assets tab.
Give & take: Grant items, coins or abilities to any player from the Party tab — they get a notification, and it lands in their bag.

Your sheet: Your character sheet, bag, coins and quests stay in sync across your phone, tablet and the table in real time.
In combat: On your turn you can propose an attack — pick a target and weapon, enter your d20, and the app helps the DM confirm the hit and damage.

Is it free?: Yes — free for your home group. Pro and a Founder Lifetime tier arrive at launch; see the Pricing page.
Does it work with D&D Beyond?: You can link out to your D&D Beyond character. A full integration isn’t possible because D&D Beyond has no public API.
What rules does it use?: D&D 5e (2024) using the System Reference Document 5.2 (CC-BY-4.0). ScryMaster is an independent tool, not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.
