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. You can create, organize, and roll local projects for free without an account. Cloud Sync backup is optional and available to Patreon supporters.

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.

Your content can be linked, so multiple rolltables can use your chosen entries, making it easy to maintain a consistent and rich world.

As your collection grows, Omni Search helps you find Groups, Lists, Rolltables, Entries, and saved content across your project. You can also roll directly from rolltable search results.

Rolltable Manager can connect tables together by inserting mentions in the text area of your entries. This can massively increase the variety of outcomes.

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.

You can roll from a single rolltable or an entire List or Group of rolltables. 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.

Mass Edit saves you from repeating the same change one row at a time. Use it to apply changes to multiple selected items.

Text and Excel imports help bring existing material into a table, while Mass Edit applies a deliberate change across selected content.

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.
