I’m building the most delightful soundboard for TTRPGs. Because epic sound should be a cantrip, not a ritual spell @ https://bardic.tools
That also goes for @mattcolville.bsky.social and @slyflourish.com , since what I want to do is essentially what they’ve been doing so well for many years (“running the game” and “the lazy dm”), but in interview form :)

And we could have a fun segment too, like “tell me about that one NPC that was supposed to be a joke but your players loved Sochi u had to do them for the next 40 sessions”.

We all have a story or 10 like that, and it’s always fun to hear.

It may bankrupt us, but the more I think about the show, the more cool ideas I have about the format.

Like, there are GMs out there doing amazing things, and I learned what I know mostly by watching them play. Imagine getting the knowledge straight from the source.

Woo indeed! We're super excited.

Really, this is a huge honor, we’re beyond excited to even be in the same category as wonderful tools like Dungeon Scrawl.

Thank you ENNIES judges!

Hey!👋

I’m Borja, and with the help of my wonderful community of GMs we’re building Bardic Tools, the best soundboard for #ttrpgs.

The goal is simple: Make perfect sound dead-easy to prep, and play it in game with one click.

From pre-made scenes to deep customisation, I hope you’re delighted.

What other calculators would you like to see?

“…but remember that the larger hobby doesn't dictate what happens at your table – you do.”

1000 times this.

So many questions from DMs boil down to: “We made up this cool rule, but it’s not in the books. Am I doing D&D wrong?”

Are you having fun? Yes? You’re good.

It’s your game, not Wizards’

There was indeed a lot of pin :D and some scars left that may never heal (many dearly beloved NPCs are dead).

It was all worth it though.

Best of luck in your game!! May you bring the light of the Morninglord to the vale afoot Mt Ghakis
