Dalang, a D&D Campaign Manager for Dungeon Masters

Dalang is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign manager and session tool for Dungeon Masters. Prep the world and house rules, a location hierarchy with encounters and treasure, an NPC roster, and a job board; run the session with a live battle map (grid, tokens, initiative, fog of war); hand players one read-only link that shows the current scene with no sign-in; and keep a permanent event log. It also suits play-by-post and games run over Discord or Telegram.

It is local-first and free. Dalang Desktop stores everything in a file on your own machine, makes no network calls, and works fully offline. Dalang Web is the same app in a browser, with a free account, and a campaign moves between the two in either direction.

How Dalang compares

Roll20 and Foundry VTT are virtual tabletops built around running the tactical fight online. World Anvil and Kanka are worldbuilding wikis with deep interlinked lore but no battle map. Dalang sits between them: connected campaign prep, a light live battle map, and a one-link player view, local-first and free. Full comparison: https://guide.dalang.page/compare.html

This repository

This repo is the source of the user guide (guide.dalang.page) and the landing page (dalang.page/), both published via GitHub Pages. It is a static, no-build-step site:

• index.html is the guide home, one .html file per feature (npc.html, dice-roller.html, and so on)
• faq.html and compare.html are the FAQ and comparison pages
• assets/style.css is the shared stylesheet
• assets/nav.js holds the shared nav and footer as two small custom elements (<site-nav> / <site-footer>), so the chrome is not hand-copied into every page
• web/ is the separate landing page served at dalang.page/
• screenshots/ are from a throwaway demo campaign (Guild Founding), not real campaign content
