I’m building the most delightful soundboard for TTRPGs. Because epic sound should be a cantrip, not a ritual spell @ https://bardic.tools
A very kind user at UKGE came to our stand and brough to my attention that one of the two fonts in Bardic Tools is really hard to read for people with Dyslexia, to the point of *gasp* distracting them a lot during the game.

Unacceptable!

So here it is, a toggle to use a much friendlier font #dnd

Happy #SelfPromoSaturday!

For today I bring you a morning pic of our UK Games Expo booth (Hall3-367), before the Saturday madness began!

Today for #SelfPromoSaturday, I bring you an amazing collaboration between the Audio Archwizard Jet from the RPG Audio Vault!

We've worked together to bring his new #dnd soundscape, "The Meadowlands", to Bardic Tools!

Have a listen👇👇👇

"Will I one-shot the bard with my Fireball?"

Ah, the age-old question.

To help with that, we've just released a new small, gorgeous calculator for #dnd5e (and #ttrpg that uses dice). Try it now down here 👇👇👇👇

It is done.

Our heroes defeated the avatares of the Dark Powers, and for the first time in many lifetimes, the Sun rose over Barovia.

We all cried good tears 😭😭😭

Tomorrow, it may very well be the last session of a 4-year Curse of Strahd campaign. 73 sessions 😱

I'm now preparing a playlist called "Fighting the Gods", and I'm getting a SO hyped. And little emotional, honestly 🥲

It's not how it ends in the book, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Great thing about using paper standees instead of minis for #DnD?

You can more easily represent, say, when a dragon tears its own broken wing off to hit the players with it.

You have prepared the perfect music playlist for your players. The perfect forest ambience.

For next session, you want “the same music, but in a mountain”

Just copy the whole thing!

I can’t believe I never thought of this until a Discord user asked for it.

... Look.

Sometimes you're building a farm scene for D&D.

Sometimes, finding the perfect sound for a D&D soundboard is hard.

Sometimes... you have to experiment.

And sometimes, those experiments end up creating a *demonic pig sound* 🐽

Sorry. 🐽

3.- The Library has been re-designed from the ground up!
You've already seen this magical upload goodness, but I'm so unreasonably proud of it that I want to show it off again:

2.- Two new scenes, by @kctg.bsky.social !
Amazing seascapes that transport you to a quiet fishing town, or a raging naval battle! I choose the battle every time, so here's a little taster for it:

Obviously, my recording doesn't do it justice. You'll just have to try Bardic Tools and see!

Here are the most cool things that came to our #DnD soundboard this month (long version here: blog.bardic.tools/bardic-tools...).

1.- 164 new sounds, including a myriad of professionally-produced gems like this one (use headphones at your own peril. Read the name. It's gross.):

It’s always a great day to go out and capture some interesting sounds for #DnD.

Did you know that a bathtub draining sounds exactly like a big, mood, slimy monster growling in an abandoned mansion?

Uploading sounds to your RPG tool should be as easy as this 👇👇👇👇

I'm unreasonably proud of this new feature in bardic.tools

For our first #SelfPromoSaturday, I actually want to bring a free tool!

I'm doing these gorgeous, handy calculators for routine tasks that DM's have to do.

Have a play with them in bardic.tools/calculators, and let me know in this thread which ones you want to see next!

So, I just launched a major update: I re-wrote The Library, from the ground up!

👉 Sleek new search bar with arrow navigation.
👉 Landscape mode to fit all the features we have planned for this year.
👉 It's *so fast*.

Finding the perfect sound just became a cantrip.
Like it?

Today is the Rift Faire, a TTRPG convention at The Arcanist’s Tavern in London.

We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to set up this wonderful booth to drop you right into Bardoc’s tent.

If you’re in London, come say hi!

It’s almost time for London's Arcanist Tavern's Rift Faire and we are preparing a game for those who dare try their bardic skills with us!

Want to earn a place in the guild? A set of dice? Well, come to our booth to show off your chops in a little game!
