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.

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

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.

Does MythForge work offline at the table?

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.

How does the initiative tracker handle mobs of monsters?

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.

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

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.

How much does MythForge cost?

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.

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.

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

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.

Can I share homebrew monsters with other Game Masters?

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.

Does MythForge support games besides D&D 5e?

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.

Is MythForge on Android?

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

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.

MythForge is out now on the App Store — a complete D&D 5e game master’s toolkit that works with the Wi-Fi off

ONTARIO, Canada — August 5, 2026

MythForge, a game master’s toolkit for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, is now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad at a one-time $9.99. It runs entirely on the device, carries no subscription and no in-app purchases, and is built around a simple premise: the tools a GM reaches for mid-session should work whether or not the venue has Wi-Fi.

Most tabletop apps assume a connection and a recurring bill. Game shops, basements, and kitchen tables routinely offer neither. Every core feature in MythForge — the bestiary, the generator, the tracker, the dice, the notes — works with the network off, and the one-time price is the whole price.

What ships today

A complete 5e NPC stat block in one tap — name, ancestry, occupation, ability scores, and derived numbers — for the blacksmith invented mid-sentence.
Initiative and hit points for a whole encounter, including grouped mobs and staged reinforcements, without paper.
Battle maps on a five-foot grid with fog of war. Players follow along in a browser by entering a code — no app install and no account on their side.
Fogged squares are never transmitted: they are stripped before the state leaves the GM’s device, along with any monster standing on one.
The SRD bestiary offline, searchable and filterable by challenge rating.
Campaign notes with tap-to-reveal secrets, so notes can be opened at the table without spoiling what is behind them.
A dice roller with full notation and the arithmetic shown rather than hidden.
A ready-to-run one-shot, so the app is playable the evening it is installed.

A shared library that does not hold your work hostage

MythForge’s Vault is a shared library of monsters, NPCs, items, and spells published by other game masters. Browsing it is free and requires no account at all; a free account is what lets a GM pull that work into their own library, upvote it, publish their own, and back up everything they have made.

Everything in the Vault travels as Mythcode — plain YAML any text editor can read. A creature that casts a homebrew spell or swings a homebrew sword brings them along, so what one GM pulls is what the author actually ran at their table. Nothing a GM makes is trapped in the app.

Pricing

A one-time $9.99 on the App Store. No subscription, no in-app purchases, and no paid tier of features held back. The account that unlocks publishing, pulling, and cloud backup is free.

I kept buying tools that stopped working the moment the game shop’s Wi-Fi went down, or that wanted a monthly fee to keep showing me monsters I already owned. I wanted the opposite: something that lives on the device, that I pay for once, and that hands my own work back to me in a format I can read.
Jeff Caldwell, MythForge
