Question 1

What is MythForge?

Accepted Answer

MythForge (officially Game Masters MythForge) is a D&D companion app for Game Masters. It bundles the tools a GM reaches for mid-session into one fast app that works offline at the table: an NPC generator, a monster compendium, an initiative and encounter tracker, a dice roller, and campaign notes with hidden secrets.

Question 2

How do I generate an NPC for D&D 5e on the fly?

Accepted Answer

Open the Compendium’s NPCs shelf and tap the wand. MythForge forges a complete 5e-ready NPC in one tap: name, race, occupation, ability scores, an attack, and a roleplaying quirk. Pin an occupation like innkeeper or guard, reroll until it fits, then save it or drop it straight into an encounter.

Question 3

Does MythForge work offline at the table?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The bestiary, NPC generator, encounter tracker, dice roller, and notes are all local-first and work with no connection, game shops and basements included. Only the Vault, publishing, and cloud backups need the internet.

Question 4

How does the initiative tracker handle mobs of monsters?

Accepted Answer

Add creatures in groups (say, three goblins named as one mob) and MythForge can roll one d20 per group or roll everyone individually. Turn order stays sorted, hit points adjust with one-tap steppers, and conditions and charges live on each combatant.

Question 5

Can I filter the compendium by type, size, or challenge rating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beasts filter by type, size, challenge rating, favorites, and source; NPCs filter by race and occupation; spells filter by level, school, and class; items filter by category and rarity. Tap a facet button to open its filter sheet, pick as many options as you need, and the shelf narrows instantly.

Question 6

How much does MythForge cost?

Accepted Answer

MythForge is a one-time $9.99 on the App Store: no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no paid tier of features held back. It’s available now for iPhone and iPad, and the free account that adds the Vault and cloud backup costs nothing.

Question 7

What is Mythcode?

Accepted Answer

Mythcode is MythForge’s portable stat-block format: plain YAML any text editor can read. Any monster, NPC, item, or spell can be shared as Mythcode text. Paste it to a friend, post it in your group chat, or publish it to the Vault, and it imports back as a fully playable entry on the right shelf.

Question 8

How do I import a monster, NPC, item, or spell into MythForge?

Accepted Answer

Open any Compendium shelf (Beasts, NPCs, Spells, or Items) and tap the Import icon in the header, then paste the Mythcode text and tap Import. MythForge confirms what it added and lands you on the right shelf; paste the wrong kind of block and you get a plain-English error telling you what it expected instead of what it got.

Question 9

Can I share homebrew monsters with other Game Masters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With a free MythForge account you can publish your creatures, NPCs, items, and spells to the Vault and pull other Game Masters’ published work into your own library with one tap.

Question 10

Does MythForge support games besides D&D 5e?

Accepted Answer

MythForge is built 5e-first: the SRD bestiary, challenge ratings, and the NPC generator target D&D fifth edition. The dice roller, campaign notes, and encounter tracker are system-friendly enough to serve most tabletop RPGs a GM runs.

Question 11

Is MythForge on Android?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. MythForge is out now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and Android is on the roadmap.

Question 12

What is the Vault?

Accepted Answer

The Vault is MythForge’s shared library: monsters, NPCs, items, and spells published by other Game Masters, free to browse and pull into your own game. Browsing it is free and needs no account at all. A free MythForge account is what lets you pull that work into your library, upvote it, publish your own, and back up everything you have made (creatures, items, spells, campaigns, party, and notes) so you can restore it on a new device.
