THE BASICS

About DM Combat Control Console

What is DM Combat Control Console?

It is a browser-based D&D combat tracker for Dungeon Masters. It combines initiative, rounds, HP, conditions, monster reference, encounter generation, campaigns, AI character voices, session recaps, and virtual tabletop exports.

Is the app free?

Yes. The core combat tracker, encounter and campaign tools, monster library, local voice previews, and fantasy skirmish tracker are free. Generated AI voices use an optional paid Pro plan or additional voice credits.

Does it include 2024 D&D monsters?

The searchable library uses material available in the 2024 System Reference Document. Monster entries include useful combat statistics such as AC, HP, challenge rating, traits, and actions.

Can it generate an encounter for my party?

Yes. Add the party’s character levels, choose Low, Moderate, or High difficulty, and generate an encounter using level-aware XP budgets. The app also divides the final XP award among player characters.

How do AI character voices work?

Choose a voice, creature profile, gender presentation, style, emotion, delivery, intensity, speed, and pitch, then enter the line you want spoken. Local device previews are free. Cloud-generated voices use the optional Pro character allowance or purchased credits.

Do replayed voice clips cost more?

No. Once a generated clip is saved to the voice library, replaying that existing audio is free. A character allowance is used only when new audio is generated.

Can I use it with Roll20?

The Roll20 companion tools export encounter summaries, commands, and downloadable character voice clips. It supports a practical transfer workflow but is not an official or automatic Roll20 integration.

Can I use the app on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The interface adapts to desktop, tablet, and phone screens. It can also be installed as a progressive web app from supported browsers.

Does my campaign sync across devices?

Google sign-in enables supported encounters, campaigns, rosters, templates, and voice information to sync through Firebase. The app also provides offline resilience during temporary connection loss.

What is Fantasy Skirmish Mode?

It is a separate two-warband tracker for activations, HP, XP, conditions, objectives, treasure, and victory points. It is unofficially compatible with Onslaught-style play and does not bundle official Onslaught game content.

Is this an official D&D, Roll20, or D&D Onslaught product?

No. DM Combat Control Console is an independent, unofficial tabletop companion and is not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast, Roll20, or D&D Onslaught.
