Slideshow, music, initiative... I made a digital DM screen that controls a remote second screen like a tablet and streams your content to it

Hey r/UnearthedArcana,

I've been working on this tool on and off as a hobby project for my biggest hobby: D&D. And two days ago I launched a public beta, looking for feedback. About 120 DM's have already started using the tool, which is absolutely insane.

https://dmvault.app is a customizable dashboard that allows you to send images, music and an initiative tracker to a second screen (client) in real time. I made this because I was looking for something like this and couldn't find it anywhere.

The tool is completely free to use, you can try it out with a fake email address. If you like it, you can change your email in the settings to your real one and confirm it to unlock uploading your own music and images.

It's hosted on a fairly cheap server by Hetzner, for which I can easily foot the bill. It's my way of adding something to the D&D community.

Right now would be a great time to test this tool out and give me some feedback, because I'm actively working on it and highly motivated to keep it going. Which means your suggestions could very well get implemented.

Anyway, thanks for reading this and checking it out. I hope you find the tool useful 😄

CoS DM's: what was your favorite moment in-game?

I am about to embark on my first Curse of Strahd run. And I am gleefully excited! I have read some high-ranking posts on the CoS subreddit, but I feel like more people here would have stories to share. As for the advice-side, I am looking to figure out what parts of this campaign stuck most with players/dms so I can flesh them out.

I built a (completely free) tool that lets your players see exactly what you want them to see in real time

Hey r/DungeonMasters,

I've been DMing for a while and kept running into the same frustration: juggling a laptop, a battle map, music, and my notes while also trying to actually *run* a session. So I built something to help, and it's finally in a state where I'd love some real feedback from real DMs.

It's called **DM Vault**. The core idea is simple: you control a live screen that your players see, and you decide what's on it.

From your DM dashboard you can push art to set the mood without turning your laptop around, synced, no more fumbling with Spotify mid-encounter, and run an initiative tracker, HP, whatever you want visible.

Your players open a URL on their phone or a second screen, or you place a tablet on the middle of the table on the correct page, and it just... updates. No refresh needed, no app install, no setup on their end.

I want to be upfront: this is a working beta. The main features are stable, but it's still early. I'm not trying to sell anything. I genuinely want to find DMs who are willing to try it at their table and tell me what's broken, missing, or could be better.

If that sounds like you, come and try it out, join the discord to send me feedback (or leave it below this post!)

You can visit it at https://dmvault.app

Thanks for reading!
