Yes, and thank you for that question. We are actually working on a re-design of the website to help with this topic.

At the highest level - you can think of Nurl as your "TTRPG hub". Whether you are a GM or player - it's all the tools you need (and more - like planning tools, etc.) in a single place. If you are in multiple groups that play different games - you can have a single app to manage everything and just switch from group to group when it's time (like how Discord/Slack does with servers). Eventually, we will support translating characters and NPCs into different game formats. For example, you are in a D&D group with a character you really love but joined a new Aliens group and wanted to bring your D&D Barb into the Alien world - Nurl could do that because it's your personal TTRPG hub.

It is important to note that Nurl is first and foremost targeting groups who play IRL/hybrid. We are not a VTT and have no ambition to become another VTT. Foundry and Roll20 have that covered and are great tools if you want a fully virtual experience.

Our vision is to build an app that gives you the high-end tech solution but not become the "star" of the game session. Instead, be the "NPC" hanging around and at your disposal when you need (i.e. the story, players, and game session remain the stars).

I hope that answers your question?

I'll be honest, after all that I still don't know what it does. Can you name something specific that it does?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Absolutely - specifically Nurl does:

For GMs

  • allow you to create and manage multiple game groups
  • allow you to take private notes with TTRPG enhanced features that you can't get in Notion/Google/etc.
  • allow you to have a chat thread with your group
  • allow you to create and manage combat encounters
  • allow you to create/manage NPCs
  • help you plan for your session
  • help support you during a session so you can focus on telling the story

For Players

  • allow you to join multiple groups that play different games
  • allow you to create/manage your characters
  • allow you to take public notes with TTRPG enhance features (same as above except everyone in the group can see and contribute)
  • allow you to chat with your group
  • allow you to have a simplified and easy to use battle experience
  • help you become "fluent" in the game you are playing faster

For Publishers

  • allow you to have your own private database to manage your games/rules easily
  • allow you to see analytics (high level) on who is playing your game system
