Rolltable Manager

Rolltable Manager began with a simple need: I wanted one place to collect the random tables I use for campaigns, solo games, worldbuilding, and storytelling. I did not need another full virtual tabletop. I wanted a focused creative tool built around rolltables, random generators, and the results they produce. I was tired of flipping through countless pages of books and PDFs, using VTTs only for their rolltable mechanics, or storing my rolltables in note-taking apps that were not built for them.

Rolltable Manager is a local-first application, meaning your local projects are stored in your browser. Local projects are free to use and do not require an account. Founding Supporters on Patreon can get access to Cloud Sync for using supported projects across browsers and devices. Cloud Sync activation is currently manual.

Create a project to give each campaign, game, or creative setting its own workspace. Within a project, Groups, Lists, Rolltables, and Entries make it possible to organize a small collection or a much larger library.

Entries can be linked into multiple rolltables, so shared material does not need to be copied and maintained several times.

An ordinary weighted table is often enough. When it is not, Rolltable Manager can connect tables together and make the available results respond to the current situation.

Variables can be created to filter entries and narrow down the options in a rolltable. Example filters: gender, origin, weather, danger, season, mood, or whatever you need.

Insert mentions in the text area of your entries to bring another Rolltable's result into your entry when rolled. This can massively increase the variety of outcomes.

Rolling is not limited to opening one table and pressing a button. You can roll an individual Rolltable or let a List or Group choose from the eligible content inside it. Results can include nested rolltable draws when you add mentions to an entry, as well as dice rolls, custom values, compendium references, and action buttons.

Useful results can be saved by pinning the ones that matter or placing them in a custom collection. You can even reroll inline mentions and dice rolls without rerolling the entire result.

Long tables should not require you to repeat the same edit one row at a time. Text and Excel imports help bring existing material into a table, while Mass Edit applies a deliberate change across selected content.

Omni Search provides a quick route through the active project. It can find Groups, Lists, Rolltables, Entries, Quick Access shelves, result collections, variables, and values. Rollable search results can be rolled directly from the Omni Search interface.

Enable Picture-in-Picture mode to keep a floating window of the Rolltable Manager results on top of your other apps. Use it for immersive solo RPG play, or present your roll results to your players by moving the window to an external monitor they can see.

The PiP button clearly indicates when the feature is active, so you always know if your players are seeing the results you rolled. The window can stay on top of browsers and most applications. Your browser controls whether its position is remembered when you toggle it on and off.

The desktop workspace uses adjustable panes for navigation, authoring, context controls, and results. Collapse the parts you do not need during play, then bring them back when it is time to edit.

On smaller screens, the same project is divided into focused views for Quick Access, the Inspector, Rolltables, and Results. Themes, view settings, keyboard shortcuts, and the optional floating Roll button provide a little more control over how the tool feels from one device or project to another.

Rolltable Manager stores local projects in the browser, so an account is not required to create, edit, or roll. Founding Supporters can use Cloud Sync to create private cloud copies and sync supported projects across devices and browsers.

With Project Backup, you can download a local safety copy of your project, while Share Project lets you download a clean starter version for someone else. Content Packs make it possible to share, import, and export selected parts of a project in JSON format. If you share something with the community, only include content you created or are allowed to redistribute.
