headache?

The problem on every table

Most campaigns don't die from dragons.
They die from disorganization.

Guildstew is the companion app that keeps the essentials close: characters, rolls, session chatter, combat, homebrew, and the stuff you swear you'll remember later.

Spoiler: you won't. That's fine — we did.

  • 1
    One place for the stuff you use every session — sheets, rolls, notes, chatter.
  • 2
    Built for collaboration, not solo note-hoarding.
  • 3
    Multi-system, homebrew-native, with inventory and battle management.
  • 4
    Cloud-based. No self-hosting. No JS modding required.
  • 5
    Voice, video, and streaming overlays built in.

Characters

Make characters.
Not a mess.

Character creation is fun right up until you're juggling tabs, forgetting what stacks, and trying to remember where you wrote down that one class feature your DM approved at 11:47 PM.

Guildstew's Character Creator keeps the important stuff in one place — clean, readable, and actually usable mid-session. Your build stays organized, your options stay visible, and leveling up doesn't feel like filing taxes.

Level up. Don't crash out.

Campaigns

Set the table.
One campaign,
one home.

Every campaign needs a home. Not a folder. Not a half-dead Google Doc. Not "I think I texted it to you?"

Guildstew lets you spin up a campaign fast, choose your system, and keep everything organized as it grows — rules, notes, safety tools, NPCs, locations, lore, and all the little details that turn "a session" into a world.

Co-GMs welcome. Players can keep their own private journals. The DM still holds the screen.

Many cooks, one kitchen

Different recipes.
Same kitchen.

Guildstew is built to support multiple systems — because your group shouldn't have to change tools every time someone says, "Okay, but what if we try another game next?"

Consent tools, built in

Set boundaries before the heat turns up.

Good games get intense. Great games are intense and safe.

Guildstew includes consent tools so everyone knows what's on the table — and what's not — before you crank the burner. Clear expectations. Less awkward mid-session braking. Better trust.

app.guildstew / consent
Combat that doesn't spill everywhere

Two views. One kitchen.

The DM sees the whole stove. Players see what's on their plate.

Run the entire kitchen.

You're not just "running initiative." You're running the entire kitchen. Guildstew's DM view is built for full control and clean pacing — because nothing kills a good fight faster than juggling five windows and three printed sheets.

You get the full picture. The party doesn't. That's the point.

  • Total control over the flow of combat — pacing, turns, key moments.
  • DM-only visibility for hidden details and behind-the-screen mechanics.
  • Track conditions, downtime, levels, loot, world-building.
  • Co-GMs with shared editing — or "Moles," players with secret access for ultimate betrayals.
  • One-click hand-off of any encounter to a guest GM.
app.guildstew / dmpanel

A clean plate. The right tools.

Players don't need the whole kitchen. They need a clean plate and the right tools. Guildstew's player view is built for interaction and strategy — abilities, resources, and options right there, readable and ready.

And if you're newer? It helps quietly. Helpful friend, less "tutorial boss."

  • Clear turn context — you always know where the fight is.
  • Abilities, resources, and reactions one tap away.
  • Tooltips for "wait, what does that do?" moments.
  • Quiet recommendations when you want them — never taking over.
  • Inventory, money, companions, pets — all tracked.

The PIE Chart

Your playstyle,
plated nicely.

Most tables remember criticals. Guildstew remembers data.

Player Intelligence & Experience tracks how your character plays, how the party operates, and what keeps showing up in your story — clean, readable, actually useful.

Not to judge you. Just to quietly confirm what everyone already suspects.

The Tavern · Creator Marketplace

Open shop.
Get paid.

The Tavern is Guildstew's creator economy — a marketplace where the most creative minds at the table can sell what they make.

Set your price. Set your terms. Keep your IP. We handle distribution, payment, and the boring parts.

Earn in-app, cash out anytime. Real money — your bank, your schedule.

app.guildstew / tavern

Seven shelves to stock.

Everything a creator can list in the Tavern — sold to every table using the app.

01

Character portraits & art

Sell portraits, tokens, splash art, and NPC sets — or take direct commissions from the tables that find your work. Every piece stays credited to you, everywhere it shows up.

02

Custom dice

Materials, finishes, engravings — and how they catch light as they tumble.

03

UI themes

Reskin the whole app — grimdark horror, neon cyberpunk, soft cozy fantasy.

04

Dice SFX & animations

The sound a crit should make. Stone, bone, glass — with real weight.

05

Cursors

Small detail, big personality. A dagger, a quill, a glowing rune.

06

Banners, borders & frames

The stuff players use to make a character feel like theirs.

07

Direct commissions

Hire an artist straight from their shop. Brief them, agree a price, get a piece made for your table.

The question everyone asked at the showcase

“Do you use AI art?”
No. Made from scratch.

The art in Guildstew is made by people. Most of it is drawn in-house by our own artists at Aetherian Studios; anything we bring in from outside is properly licensed and credited. No scraped datasets, no generated slop — with galleries you can browse and commissions you can book.

app.guildstew / attributions
  1. 1

    Credited by name

    An in-app Attributions page names every artist behind the work — our own Aetherian Studios team, plus the outside creators whose CC-licensed (CC 3.0) art we use, credited exactly as their license requires.

  2. 2

    Browse their galleries

    Every Aetherian Studios artist has a full gallery inside the app — tap their credit to see the rest of their work, not just the one piece you ran into.

  3. 3

    Hire them directly

    Our artists who mark themselves open to commissions can be booked for custom work straight from their profile. Found a style you love? Commission it.

Our own artists made this, by hand. They get the credit — and the work.

The Brewery

Brew it
your way.

Every table homebrews. Some do it proudly. Some do it "temporarily" and then it becomes law for the next three years.

Guildstew is built for that reality. The Brewery is a no-code creator for everything custom — rules, items, abilities, spells, conditions, classes, races, monsters — without duct-taping it to a notes doc and praying everyone remembers the latest version.

Think of it like seasoning. A little changes everything.

app.guildstew / brewery
What you can actually brew

If it's in the rules,
you can rewrite it.

Not "custom fields on a character sheet." Real, mechanical homebrew — built with a no-code creator, shared with your table in one click, and enforced by the app so nobody has to remember whose Discord message had the current version.

01

Races

Build a species from the ground up — traits, movement, resistances, ability modifiers, and the weird one your table invented at 1am.

02

Classes

Full class construction: level progression, subclass branches, resource pools, and features that actually fire at the right level.

03

Full sheet renames

Rename every field on the sheet and the whole system changes genre. Turn "Spell Slots" into "Ammo," "Hit Dice" into "Fuel" — cyberpunk, horror, mecha, whatever you're running.

04

System additives

Bolt entirely new mechanics onto a system — a sanity meter, heat, corruption, supply clocks — with their own rules for how they tick, trigger, and break.

05

NPC & villain creator

Not just stat blocks. Build a proper villain: auras, legendary actions, lair actions, multi-phase transitions, and reaction triggers — the full boss-fight toolkit, wired into the combat tracker so it runs itself on their turn.

06

Items

Weapons, armor, consumables, cursed junk. Attach charges, attunement, passive effects, and on-use abilities that resolve in one click.

07

Spells

Custom spells with real scaling, save DCs, components, durations, and concentration — tracked automatically once they're on the board.

08

Monsters

Stat blocks with actions, conditions, resistances, and behavior — drop one into initiative and it's ready to swing.

09

Brew it alone. Or brew it for everyone.

Publish anything you make as a single piece — one spell, one monster — or bundle it into a full pack: a race, its classes, its items, and the rules that hold them together. Share it with your table, or ship it to the wider community and let other groups run what you built.

Your homebrew doesn't have to die in a Google Doc.

Streaming & broadcast tools

For the
audience tables.

Critical Role didn't just make a podcast — they made a movement. Guildstew ships with broadcast tools built in: clean, transparent OBS overlays, per-character lower-thirds, initiative banners, and viewer-friendly stat displays — with a one-click switch between cinematic and stat-rich modes.

Your combat stats track themselves as you play, so the night's biggest hits, critical successes, and clutch death saves are logged the moment they land — the numbers that mattered, without you writing show notes at 2am.

  • OBS-ready overlays. No green-screen jankery.
  • Per-character lower-thirds with portrait, class, and HP.
  • Audience-safe overlays that keep your GM's secrets off-screen in real time.
  • Auto-tracked session stats — crits, big hits, and death-save drama, logged as they happen.
