DM tools — the dungeon master’s audio toolkit
Great sessions run on preparation and presence — the best dungeon master tools buy you both. Here is the audio toolkit this site puts in your DM screen, plus the other tools we genuinely recommend running alongside it.
Audio, handled in one click. 100 ready scenes with music, ambience and SFX pre-mixed; a Spellbook that fires any of 484 spell sound effects mid-combat; per-scene mixes that save themselves. That is the audio half of your DM toolkit — free to start, right in the browser.
Your prep, not our prep. Duplicate any scene and rebuild it your way, upload your own tracks, and chain music for long arcs. The tool adapts to your table, not the other way around.
The toolkit
One-click looping music, ambience and SFX for 100 scenes, with a spell-SFX book for combat. The audio layer of your DM screen.
Official rules, character sheets and sourcebooks — the reference layer most tables already use.
Browser virtual tabletop for maps, tokens and remote play.
Self-hosted virtual tabletop with deep automation and a huge module ecosystem.
Lightweight shared maps and tokens when you want a VTT without the setup.
Turns your session notes into a narrated recap audiobook with music and SFX — perfect for "previously on…" intros.
Frequently asked questions
What audio tools does a DM actually need?
One reliable source of looping scene music, ambience you can layer underneath, and fast sound effects for big moments. That is exactly what this soundboard bundles — free for home games.
Does the soundboard work at an in-person table?
Yes — it runs in any browser, so a laptop or phone plus a speaker is all you need behind the screen.
Can I prepare scenes before the session?
Yes. Set each scene’s layers and volumes in advance — mixes are saved per scene to your account — and build custom scenes for planned set pieces.
