GM-Assistant – a free software designed to be the perfect assistant for the game master during a tabletop role-playing game.
It allows the game master to write tree-structured scenarii with a graphical interface including a note editor and a character table. To make your games more immersive, it is also possible to play music and sound effects with a fully integrated audio player.
The players have to be involved and the game master (GM) must perfectly master the rules and the scenario, remember previous events, anticipate the future, and improvise the present, following players’ actions and choices. If during the game the GM has to look about a non-player character (NPC) something specific in the rules, music or sound effects on the computer, images in a folder, then the game slows down, the emulsion fails, and the players lose their focus. Do not deny it : role players are easily distracted.
The solution is GM-Assistant. GM-Assistant (for Game Master Assistant) is software designed to assist the GM. Its purpose is to simplify the GM’s life during the game by giving an easy access to relevant information and tools needed.
