Roadmap
Where ScryMaster is, and where it’s going. We build in the open — what’s live today, what we’re finishing next, and the community we want to grow around the table.
Live now
Playable today
The core game loop is built and in your hands — create, gather, run, and reveal.
Guided character builder
All 12 SRD 5.2 classes, species & backgrounds — from level 1 to 20, with the math done for you.
Real-time combat console
Initiative, HP, conditions, reactions, legendary & lair actions, one-click undo.
The scrying window
Live table display — spotlight, fog-of-war enemy health, scenes, floating damage.
Scenes & music board
Title/location scenes with transitions, plus uploaded ambience and battle tracks.
Homebrew toolkit
Custom monsters, weapons & masteries, items, abilities and effects.
Card designer & QR loot
Custom card frames with a chroma-key window; print loot cards players scan to claim.
Mixed-device play
Phone, tablet, laptop and paper, all in one synced session.
Invite links, codes & find-a-group
Share a campaign or list it openly and approve requests to join.
Weapon masteries, automated
Cleave, Topple and Graze resolve themselves on a hit or miss — and stealth drops the instant you attack.
Action-economy turn coaching
Your turn shows what you can still do, teaches each action, and prices the cost of swapping gear mid-fight.
Area-of-effect resolution
Select everyone in the blast, roll once, and auto-apply half-on-save damage and conditions to all.
Multi-campaign switching
Belong to many tables and jump between them; spin up a new game in a tap.
Smart ammunition
Arrows track themselves, and after a fight you can ask the DM to recover half — by the rules.
Story Studio & solo adventures
Build branching, deterministic SRD adventures (scenes, checks, real combat, loot, endings, multi-ending branches that carry forward) and play them solo on the same engine — free.
Story design cockpit
Campaign Health scores your draft for dead ends, fake-agency choices and pacing; “Play From Here” jumps the runner to any beat with a forced state; a post-game branch map shows the roads not taken; starter templates get you going fast.
Reusable mechanics modules
Stamp a working shop (buy/sell/haggle/buy-back), quest board, crafting bench, or dungeon/woods region into a story — balanced economy and anti-grind pacing built in, no hand-wiring.
Reactive prose bindings
Write narration that reads the live game — {{character.hp}}, the last damage type, how the fight went — with conditional text, autocompleted from a live data tree.
2D Scene Builder (not a VTT)
Compose a scene like a slide: layered art, real buttons (text-on-shape, borders, style presets), grid/snap with smart guides, responsive groups, living motion with depth lanes, and big accessible tap targets — no image upload required.
Reactive scenes & Test Interactions
Layers that appear, dim, or swap art/text/style by game state (chest closed→open, an NPC’s mood by trust), plus a Test Interactions mode that toggles state to verify it live — and a Scene Health check that catches tiny tap targets and missing text fallbacks.

In the workshop
Being finished next
Built, but not fully wired — these are the things we’re polishing toward launch.
AI co-author (MCP)
Point your own Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT at the Studio and have it draft whole adventures against the live, validated vocabulary — module-level intents (build a region, add a quest chain) and where-used / is-reachable / would-this-break-saves queries. The grounding endpoint is live today; the full MCP server is next.
Save-safe updates for long campaigns
Patch a fix into a weeks-deep save without restarting — forward rebase, re-simulation, and a publish-time impact report so a bug fix reaches active games. The prerequisite for month-long official campaigns and a paid marketplace.
Google Drive sync
Back up and import your session notes straight to Google Drive.
Plans, ads & fair-use limits
Turning the pricing tiers into real entitlements, with ad-free upgrades.
Solo-play polish
Clearer "you’re both DM and hero" affordances for single-player adventures.
Point-and-click scene puzzles
Use an inventory item on a scene object (drag, or tap-item-then-target on mobile) and bounded mini-game templates — find-the-object, tap-in-sequence, reveal-grid — built from layers and the existing rules, never a freeform game engine.
Remaining masteries
Vex, Sap, Slow, Push and Nick join Cleave, Topple and Graze in one-tap resolution.
Session backups & restore
Every save is snapshotted — a one-click restore for the rare “that got wiped” moment.
Planned
On the build list
Committed directions we intend to build, in roughly this order.
Native Android app
A store-installable build on top of the installable web app you can use today.
Import your characters
Bring heroes in from D&D Beyond instead of rebuilding them by hand.
AoE shapes & tactical map
Cones, lines and bursts drawn on an optional battle map with line-of-sight fog.
Exploring
The community we want to build
The bigger dream — turning ScryMaster from a table tool into a place adventurers gather. Directional, not promises; tell us what matters most.
Host games virtually
Open your table to the world and run a session for players anywhere.
Find new groups
Matchmaking and drop-in seats so a lone adventurer can always find a party.
Player profiles & reputation
Reliable players and beloved DMs build a reputation worth carrying.
Coordinated campaigns & raids
Cross-table events where many parties chase the same world-shaking goal.
In-session voice & text
Talk and roll in one place, without juggling a second app.
A creator marketplace
Share — or sell — your adventures, homebrew, scenes and collectible card frames.
This roadmap is directional and will shift as we learn from you — nothing here is a dated promise.
