Private Server Gm Tool Page

This paper presents a design and implementation plan for a private-server-based Game Master (GM) tool to support tabletop role‑playing games (TTRPGs) and virtual live‑play sessions. The system emphasizes low-latency real‑time collaboration, privacy, modular extensibility, and offline-first capabilities for GMs running their own servers. Key components include a role/permission model, map and scene editor, NPC/encounter manager, campaign database, chat/voice integration, automation scripts, and backup/replication strategies. The design targets hobbyists and small groups wanting control over their data and customizability beyond commercial hosted platforms.

If existing tools don’t fit your emulator, you can code a custom private server GM tool. Here’s a blueprint. private server gm tool
