Gelatinous Code — tools for tabletop adventures

Gelatinous Code — Tools for tabletop adventures, beside a luminous green gelatinous cube

Gelatinous CodeTools for tabletop adventures

Open-source bots, utilities, and strange experiments built to make game night easier.

Follow the trail

A different kind of dungeon utility belt

Less wrangling.
More adventure.

Great game nights have enough moving parts already. The work here is about smoothing the little frictions: getting a table filled, getting a reminder sent, getting everyone back to the fun.

Most experiments start with tabletop role-playing games. The only real boundary is whether an idea makes playing together better.

Useful at the table

Make the boring parts lighter so the good stuff has room to happen.

02

Open by default

Keep the gears visible, the docs kind, and the door unbarred.

03

Experiment in public

Follow the weird lead. Share what worked — and what most certainly did not.
