Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about 20Forge — answered with honesty (and a bit of magic)
Why does 20Forge exist?
Being an RPG Master is already hard enough. Creating stories, improvising NPCs, adjusting encounters, preparing atmospheres, and still navigating through 27 different tabs steals time and drains energy from the table.
20Forge was born to solve this. One place with fast, beautiful tools created especially for Masters — to name characters, create tokens, prepare ambient sound, and soon, build entire worlds within The Forge.
You create stories. We forge the tools.
What is 20Forge?
20Forge is a free collection of essential tools for tabletop and online RPG Masters — token creation, soundscapes, name generators and more. Soon, The Forge: a dedicated space to create worlds, organize campaigns and run your sessions without juggling 37 browser tabs.
What tools are available?
We’re building three main tools: TokenAnvil (token creation), SoundAltar (soundscapes and music) and Thome (epic name generator). All of them will connect inside The Forge.
Do I need an account to use the tools?
Most tools will work without an account. When The Forge launches — with worlds, NPC management and campaign notes — a free account may be required. No tricks, no traps.
Can I suggest new tools or features?
Yes! We love hearing from RPG Masters. Join our Discord and share your ideas directly with the Forge. We can’t promise a button that always rolls a natural 20… but everything else is negotiable.
Does SoundAltar include ready-made soundscapes?
Yes! SoundAltar will offer curated soundscapes, loops and ambience, plus tools to craft your own — perfect for taverns, battles and emotionally devastating boss fights.
Will 20Forge integrate with other platforms?
Integrations are planned for the future. For now, the focus is forging strong, independent tools.
How is my data stored?
Securely and privately. Your worlds, NPCs and creations are yours. We don’t sell your data — not even to suspicious wizards offering 'unlimited power'.
Is 20Forge really free?
Yes! Completely free — no paywalls, no hidden limits, no 'gotcha!' tricks. Paid plans will only appear when the product is so good you'll happily pay for it (still cheaper than a decent beer).
When will 20Forge be available?
The Forge will be available in Act III. You can follow every step of the journey on the Roadmap and join the waitlist to be notified when the forge is ready.
Can I use 20Forge in in-person sessions?
Absolutely. Use it at the table, on Discord, Meet, Zoom — wherever 'roll initiative!' happens. SoundAltar fits any setting.
Are tokens created in TokenAnvil free to use?
Yes! You own everything you create — use tokens in campaigns, videos, streams or VTTs. We’re not treasure-hoarding dragons.
Does Thome generate names in multiple languages?
Yes! Thome can generate names in various fictional styles — elvish, goblin, draconic, infernal and more. From epic to chaotic, including those 'my DM definitely made this up on the spot' names.
How does the waitlist work?
Join the list, receive occasional updates, and get notified when tools go live. No spam — not even from mimics disguised as emails.
