Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know before your first session.

Do I need to download or install anything?

No. warcrimes.us runs entirely in your web browser — players and Game Masters alike. Just create an account and open a table.

Is it really free?

Yes — playing and hosting are both free, forever. Every account can create and run unlimited tables. The only optional purchase is pay-as-you-go AI credit for battle-map, art, and stat-block generation. There are no ads and nothing is sold to third parties.

What game systems does it support?

It's purpose-built for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition — with the complete 5e SRD included: 334 monsters, 319 spells, magic items, equipment, and conditions in a searchable in-app compendium.

What makes it different from the big platforms?

It's private and ad-free, every feature is included instead of locked behind tiers, and it has tools the others don't — a built-in AI assistant, true 3D physics dice, and Philips Hue light syncing.

How does the AI assistant work?

Describe a character or monster and it generates a complete, rules-legal 5e stat block. You can also ask it rules questions, get encounter ideas, and generate battle maps and token art, right from the sidebar during play. AI runs on pay-as-you-go credit packs (from $5) — everything else on the site is free.

Does it work with Discord?

Yes — paste a Discord webhook into your table's 🎭 menu and dice rolls, checks, and combat events post to your party's channel live. Table chat and secret rolls never relay. Setup takes two minutes; the in-app Help walks you through it.

Do voice and video need another app?

No — voice and video run in the browser over a secure connection. Just click “Join voice.”

What is the Philips Hue integration?

An optional helper program runs on a small computer (like a Raspberry Pi) on your home network. When the DM fires a spell effect, it flashes your real smart lights to match — red for fire, green for healing, and so on.

Is my campaign data private?

Yes. Your maps, characters, and notes are kept private to your table. There are no ads and no tracking built into the experience.

How do my friends join my game?

Create a table as a Game Master and share its name plus an invite link or password. Players join in seconds, and the table then shows up in their dashboard.
