How to Crit-Hit your Epic game sessions! 🔥 (nurl.website)

I've noticed a big gap in the Epic game session realm when it comes to good tools for enhancing the gameplay. I've seen attempts, but nothing on the level of what it could be.

This past weekend, I was a part of an Epic session and validated a feature set on the app I'm building which resulted in a response of "This is perfect" from everyone that night (including the admins running the Epic).

When it comes to Epics, an easy way to ensure everyone is having fun is to keep the interactivity of all groups high. Secondly, make something positive out of the negative situations. For example, there was a feature we added this weekend to which if someone failed a task, they had to donate X dollars to a charity that was the focus for the event itself. I found this was a really fun way to enhance the game play to make something positive out of negative situations. Basically, people were still having fun rather than getting upset because it resulted in philanthropy. Obviously, anyone could also donate at anytime - but you get the gist. More smiles and laughter than disgruntled faces.

This is one of many examples I see that works really well. Additionally, I'm happy to announce that r/nurl will support Epic game sessions in our upcoming release which you can read about on our blog.

If you are interested in were we are going and the vision to make playing TTRPG easy for everyone (including people on the spectrum or ADHD), you can join the waitlist and get early access to the app before we publicly launch: https://nurl.website

I hope this brought some "inspiration" to all the DM of DM's that love hosting Epic game sessions and happy adventuring!

Nurl makes playing TTRPG accessible ♿️ (nurl.website)

Hello everyone! My name is Casey Baggz and I'm the Founder and CEO of a new app that makes playing tabletop role-play games easy. Even more so, it makes playing games more accessible than ever before in the history of tabletop role-play games.

As someone who is on the spectrum and colorblind (whoops), it has been a passion of mine to build a tool that helps improve the learning, playing, or running experience for people who have disabilities.

Allow me to provide some context around our mission and how we are achieving a new level of accessibility to make playing more inclusive than ever before:

The app itself is game agnostic. We deconstruct the rules and everything else that makes learning, playing, or running games hard and present it in a holistic and conversational way. Likewise, we bring all the tools you need for IRL/hybrid game sessions into one place and enhance them with TTRPG specific features which you simply can't get out of using Discord, Notion, etc.

On the accessibility side the app will have specific user settings that will change the entire experience to meet you were you are at regarding your disability. For example, if you are someone who is on the spectrum - you can put in your exact score and we will reconfigure all the communication in the app to provide a better experience that aligns more consistently with how your brain naturally functions. This includes interpreting rules, spells, building characters - everything.

Out of the box - we have the current standards in place:

  • 100% accessibility score
  • Colorblind friendly for protonopians (red/green)
  • Autism support (mentioned above)

Our next roadmap items incudes:

  • ADHD support
  • Support for recording audio sessions for a historical recap

This is just the beginning of what we are doing. If you are interested in learning more you can go to: https://nurl.website/

We plan on releasing around May 6th for people who have joined the waitlist. I really appreciate this community and hope to bridge the gap of technology and TTRPG so everyone can enjoy playing games equally.

Hello everyone!

My name is Casey Baggz and I'm the Founder & CEO of Nurl a new app that uses advance algorithms to deconstruct the rules, player sheets (and everything else that makes TTRPGs hard for players and GMs) and presents it in a holistic and conversational way. Likewise, we also add in realtime notes & chat (similar to Notion and Slack/Discord) and combine it with an extension library so you can have all the tools you need in one magical place.

I've been working hard to make sure we ship in less than 10 weeks and so far have received a perfect-score feedback from all players/gms we have user tested with ranging from 13-50 year olds who have played anywhere from "being curious" to 20 year vets.

Today, the waitlist is officially open and if you join you will get access to the app before the general public. I'm currently a GM and started as a player and built Nurl because I have yet to find a good solution for a tool that helps streamline the game in an elegant way that works with IRL/hybrid sessions (i.e. it's not a VTT).

As a game master, there is so much time and improve you need to have to deliver great sessions. As a player (new or experienced) character sheets and rules can be extremely overwhelming, intimidating, and confusing.

Today, I can confidently say that Nurl will help remove that burden and enhance your games so you can spend more time focusing on the story vs. planning.
