D&D Downtime Manager for Player Actions and GM Approvals
Collect player plans, review costs and timing, resolve outcomes, and keep downtime connected to the rest of the campaign.
What downtime means in a TTRPG campaign
Downtime is the in-world time between major adventures when characters train, research, craft, recover, seek services, hire help, and pursue personal goals. It creates meaningful choices without requiring the whole table to schedule another session.
Gold & XP gives players a structured freeform request and gives Game Masters approval and request queues. A separate hireling workflow supports searching for and hiring men-at-arms and support staff.
Campaign tools that stay connected
GM approval and resolution
Game Masters review requests, clarify campaign rulings, and resolve actions through a dedicated queue.
Time, cost, and results
Put intended time, resources, costs, rewards, and outcomes in the request so the decision remains understandable.
Custom downtime actions
Freeform requests support campaign-specific plans beyond predefined actions.
Hirelings
Use a focused flow for finding and hiring men-at-arms, leaders, and support staff with campaign costs and contracts.
Real-time awareness
New approval requests notify the campaign through the app so Game Masters can keep the queue moving.
