Grimoire

Storyteller Companion

In development · No release date

Run the town from one iPad.

Grimoire is a storyteller's tool for Blood on the Clocktower games played in person, around a table, in one room.

It's the whole grimoire on a single iPad: character and reminder tokens you drag where you need them, a night order that sequences itself and knows the first night is different, saved setups so you're not sorting tokens by hand before every game, and player messages that fill the screen instead of hiding on a token the size of a coin.

Build your own characters and they generate their own reminder tokens and slot into the night order automatically. Build your own scripts from them. Save a scenario and load it again next week.

All it took was one errant glance into the active Grimoire to ruin a game. Since that one disappointing reset, this app has been the solution I’ve brought to every game I’ve run.

Player tokens and reminder tokens arranged by seat in the digital grimoire app.

This unofficial app is a passion project that is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Pandemonium Institute. I have had a lot of fun storytelling with this app for my home games, but there is not currently a public release date planned.
