Moving out of D&D Beyond?
Bring the whole party across in minutes — sheets, stats and story — into one local-first app that treats the campaign as yours. And if you ever want to leave, everything walks out the door with you. No hostage data. No exit fee.
GMs run it on the desktop app; players join your live game free from any phone or browser — no download. They see the battle map, fog of war, their character, and roll in real time.
Nobody leaves a character behind. The move is three steps, and none of them is “retype your ranger’s entire inventory while questioning your life choices.”
Grab your character from D&D Beyond the way you always could. It’s your character, after all — it just lives somewhere with better lighting now.
Hand it over and it arrives playable — stats, gear and story where they belong, not scattered across an evening of data entry. Do the whole party in one sitting.
Run the campaign local-first, on your machine. Everything you build here stays exportable, always — the door out is exactly as wide as the door in.
Edition isolation means the campaign you started two years ago keeps the rules it started with. No silent updates, no 2024 content bleeding into an arc the party has already memorised. For many of us, this is the whole reason the van got booked.
Characters, notes, maps, lore — the lot, whenever you want it, in files you can actually use. No hostage data, no “contact support to leave.” We’d rather you stay because it’s good than because leaving hurts.
Your campaign lives on your device, not on someone else’s roadmap or pricing page. No annual toll, no server between you and your own notes, no platform quietly sunsetting the thing your table depends on.
Nobody re-buys anything. You run the desktop app; your players join free from whatever they own — phone, tablet, laptop, browser. Their sheets, the live map and their dice, right where the game is.
In Quill & Compass, AI only deletes the drudgery — the tracking, the bookkeeping, the prep admin. It never writes your story, never rolls a die, never runs your game. And the art? Maps, tokens and every illustration stay human-made. That line doesn’t move.
Yes — that’s the front door. Export a character from D&D Beyond, hand it to Quill & Compass, and it arrives as a playable sheet: stats, gear and story in their right places. Minutes, not an evening of retyping — the whole party can move across before session zero of the new arc.
Everything, anytime. Characters, notes, maps, lore — your campaign walks out the door with you whenever you say so, no strings attached. We’d rather you stay because the app is good than because leaving hurts. Your data is yours; we just keep the candles lit around it.
No. Quill & Compass uses edition isolation: a campaign started on 2014 rules stays on 2014 rules, full stop. New editions never bleed into an in-progress game — which, for a lot of GMs, is the exact reason the moving van got booked in the first place.
No. You run Quill & Compass on the desktop app; your players join your live game free from any phone or browser — no download, no account gymnastics. They see the battle map, fog of war, and their character, and roll in real time.
We’re not live yet — we’re sharpening the blade. Leave a raven’s address and you’ll be first in when the moving van arrives, with founder’s pricing and a say in what we build. No spam. No party wipes. Just one email when it matters.
