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.

Can you give an example of what this actually does with "advanced algorithms"? Like what are some normal DM tasks that I would use this for? Is it an initiative tracker? Is it just for notes? Does it have monster statblocks?

Also does it support many systems? I'm primarily on PF2e.

@bionicjoey @that_nurl_d00d I'd be happy just to find out what "advance algorithms" are. ;)

It sounds from their site like a custom chatGPT is in the mix. Which normally I'm very skeptical of, but in the context of prepping/running ttrpgs specifically, I see a lot of value.
