How everything works

Everyone at the table shares one list. Whatever you change appears on everybody else's screen straight away, and the table keeps its state even when the last person closes the tab.

Joining

Table code

Everyone types the same code to land in the same fight. Share the link and the code travels with it. Different code, different table — handy for a second party.

🎲 Game Master

One seat only. While a GM is connected, the option is greyed out for everyone else; it frees up when they leave. Two things belong to the GM alone: hit points and the damage box, and hiding combatants.

🛡️ Player

Any number, and they can take real work off the GM's hands: adding combatants, renaming, initiative, icons, bloodied and dead, conditions, duplicating, setting aside, removing — and running the turn itself, the sort order, the resets and the encounter files. What they never see is hit points or hidden combatants.

Running the fight

Next ▸

Hands the turn to the next combatant. Past the last one it wraps around and the round counter goes up. The current row glows red and the view scrolls to keep it in sight.

◂

Steps back one turn — for a misclick. It does not put ticked-down conditions back; use undo for a true rewind.

Round 1

The round in progress. It pulses each time a new round begins.

↓ Init

Flips between highest-first and lowest-first. Anyone without a value sinks to the bottom.

◉

Scrolls back to whoever is acting, for when you have wandered off down the list.

↶

Undo — the last sixty changes, including damage, deleted combatants and expired conditions. It rewinds the whole shared table, not only your own edits, so it can undo something a companion just did. Use it promptly rather than repeatedly.

⋮

Clear initiative values and the round; clear every condition; empty the list entirely; or save an encounter to a file and add one back in. Open to everyone at the table.

Adding combatants

+ Add combatant

Drops a blank row into the list with the cursor already in its name box. Type the name, press Tab for initiative, Tab again for hit points.

🙈 + Add hidden combatant

GM only: the same, except the row is hidden from the moment it exists. Use this rather than adding one and hiding it afterwards — an ordinary row appears on the players' screens the instant it is created, so they would glimpse it while you reach for the 👁️ button. Shortcut: Shift+A.

👤

Tap the icon on any row to change it. The picker holds around 285 icons in groups, with a search box — try wolf, skull, tavern, ooze — and a field for pasting any character you like. Every icon here is old enough that phones, tablets and desktops all draw it, though each platform uses its own artwork.

👁️ / 🙈

GM only: hide a combatant from the players. Hidden rows are dashed on your screen and absent from theirs. They still take their turn in the order — the players simply see Something stirs in the Mists instead of a name.
Not a vault: the row is filtered out by the app, but the data does reach the players' browsers. Anyone determined enough to open developer tools could read it. It hides things from your table, not from a snoop.

⧉

Duplicate: another one of the same creature, at full health and with no conditions. Names count up automatically, so one wolf becomes Dire wolf 1 and Dire wolf 2. Initiative is copied, since identical monsters usually act as a group.

Hit points

❤️ 24 / 37

Current and maximum. The current box fills like a health bar — green above half, amber below, red under a quarter.

− 7 +

Type the number and press − for damage or + for healing. In that box Enter hurts and Shift+Enter heals.

🩸 💀

Bloodied and dead. Once a maximum is set these follow the numbers on their own: bloodied at or below half, dead at zero. Without a maximum, tick them by hand.

Conditions

+ condition

Set the duration first — a preset, a typed number, or ∞ for something that lasts until you remove it. Then choose a condition from the list, or write your own. Nothing is added until you press the button, so you can change your mind about the duration. Double-click a condition to add it straight away.

😭 Frightened 2

Each chip drains as it counts down and turns red on its final round. Use − and + to adjust, × to clear it.

When they tick

At the start of that creature's own turn, not once per round — so “Frightened 3” means three of its turns, the way durations read in play. A note appears when something ends.

Tidying up

⤓

Set aside: moves a combatant out of the turn order into the section below the add button, keeping their hit points, conditions and everything else. Good for dead monsters you might still want to look at.

⤒

Puts them back into the fight.

×

Removes a combatant for good — recoverable with undo.

Keyboard

N or Space	Next turn
Shift+N	Back one turn
A	Add a combatant
Shift+A	Add a hidden combatant (GM)
F	Jump to whoever is acting
Ctrl+Z	Undo
Esc	Close any window

Shortcuts stay out of the way while you are typing in a field.

Saving and encounter files

The table lives on the server, so nothing is lost when a tab closes and latecomers arrive to the fight already in progress.

Save encounter to file writes down what you can see. Add encounter from file pours those combatants into the fight rather than over it — so you can prepare the wolves and the ambushers as separate files and drop each in when it arrives, or load the same file twice for a second wave. Names already at the table count up, so a second Strahd arrives as Strahd 2. Loading never touches the round or whose turn it is. To start clean instead, empty the list first.
