Gonna put my volunteer crowdfunding advertiser hat on for a bit because I do genuinely think this project is really cool, please bear with me.

Person reading this on Mastodon, ARE YOU A TTRPG NERD? Are you also a nerd for PURPOSE BUILT SOFTWARE? Are you tired of how every writing and TTRPG lore keeping AND sound board software is a subscription? Are you tired of your and your players notes being easily scattered to the winds never to be found again? Of your GM work in general being scattered across tools that don’t play nice with each other? Are you tired of starting every session scrambling for non AI generated thematically appropriate background music on YouTube? Would you rather just have a ready to use library made in collaboration with the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 guys instead? Does the concept of using software that is made in the EU by a team in France AND supported by the France 2030 program excite you?
Well then I think you should check out the Amsel Suite! https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/ollam-technologies/amsel-suite-chapter-ii
The suite is a set of software meant to address the needs of GMs in a complementary fashion. Currently they offer Lore and Tome, respectively a world building lorekeeper (which can definitely be used standalone for fiction writing!) and session planning software, and they’re currently crowdfunding for Scry and Harp, which serve as a player handout/note taking platform (and is free to use for all your players) and a soundboard you can associate with Tome and Lore’s specific notes and play specific tracks to specific specific players through Scry.
The software is available as a onetime payment for a lifetime license. Usually 34,99€ a piece or 59,99€ for the whole suite but they’re offering each of them for 20€ (Harp and Scry as campaign tiers and Lore and Tome as add ons) during the campaign and higher tiers unlock more sound packs for use in Harp ^^
Go check them out!
I’m a fandom and tech nerd who crochets and reads tarot on occasion, when I can I write Helltaker fanfic and do DM prep for Daggerheart! Please don’t take it personally that I only accept follows from fannish people. The beautiful art in banner and icon is by @spillingdown and @samifer respectively
