As the first tool, PrismScrollDM acts as your mobile, paperless, and essentially limitless DM Screen on the go! Customize the different tiles to fit your specific needs for each game you manage. With the ability to hide or show all the information, declutter your working area so that you only see the important information, but still have access to everything within a few taps if the need arises. Some of the starting options that we offer include Encounter tables, Conditions, Item Prices, and so many more of the minor rules that everyone tends to forget while playing. The PrismScrollDM Screen will smooth out your games and eliminate the struggle of trying to find that random page with that small rule that decides the crazy outcome of if your adventurers will ascend to godhood.

PrismScrollDM Reviews

We were looking for a really good app because we had just started learning how to DM. This app made it really easy and plain as day to making an epic campaign! We HIGHLY recommend for any DMs that want to keep track of information easier.


This is such an amazing utility. It certainly doesnt replace our books but its pretty darn close. The navigation takes a little getting used to but it is fairly intuitive once you go through a few screens. Theres a balance between automatically populating data and keeping it free form enough to allow for tweaking things to fit our needs. We’ve run various games over 35 years and have used a lot of different tools (screens, apps, etc.). Prism may be the one to rule them all. For our next campaign we plan to make this the only thing we use outside of the books.


To be honest, google searching things feels just as efficient as most of this apps functions, but we love the character map. Please allow us to change the size of each character bubble and we will give you 5 stars!!! :)


Completely makes being a home-brew DM easy!


We love this app and am currently using it on our iPad to run our campaign. We wish there was the ability for cloud sync or to copy a campaign to another device though. Id love to use it on our phone for quick reference without have to completely rebuild the campaign a second time.


We almost gave this 4 instead of 5 stars because we wish it were a bit easy to figure out some things. Im having through figuring out if we can edit the screens cards and campaign cards, but we decided to go with 5 stars anyway because we have yet to check out the discord and we read in other reviews that that can be super helpful! Im hoping that if Im unable to edit the pre-organized DM screen that in a future patch we might be able to because, while things like different race names, actions in combat, and conditions are grouped together, the different class tables are not and there are some other things that we would prefer to rearrange. Just some things that are our personal preferences but this app is by far the most extensive and useful DM tool we’ve been able to find. We highly suggest getting it on Mac if you can just because its easier to navigate all the information than on a phone/iPad. Hope to see more content from the developers because its an awesome app!


We love what the team is doing, the PrismScroll app is AMAZING! This app is very good as mentioned in the other reviews, but we have a few things we would like to request: 1. A better way to add maps to a campaign. It isnt very intuitive to use and it may even be nice to have the option of creating your own maps from within the app. 2. The encounter is a bit weird and whenever we start an encounter we can never figure out how to have it roll initiative for us for the monsters(the characters we get why, we dont roll for them), but it would be nice to have the option to have it roll initiative for the monsters. 3. Where is Dragon of Icespire Peak? That is the current game we are running and the option isnt there, we would request that it be added. Anyway, this is a great app with lots of potential, we could see myself giving this app a 5-star review down the road once it has been fully flushed out. Keep up the good work developers!


Keeps things organized and running smoothly. Information is easily accessed and input into your campaign. An essential tool for anyone that enjoys digital aids.


Great system definitely recommend.


We’ve been on the look out for a decent DM tool to use during our games. We have found a few apps that are ok at a few things. But none of which have had a solid foundation for the future. The PrismScrollDM app has that solid foundation to build upon. The UI is clean and useful. The performance is outstanding, and further more the developer/developers are responsive and always willing to answer your questions. If we could wish for anything, it would be that PrismScrollDM would take some ideas of out the app Encounter+ we feel like the Prism team could make a much better, more refined version of that app. They certainly have the fan base.


Much like all of the PrismScroll products, it is still in the works. But even so, this is an astonishing starting point and already has the makings of a complete app. They are continually making updates on the apps and we have loved being here every step of the way! Cannot wait to see where this goes. 100% recommend this app.


Great just need a way to drag and drop in fight to more easily control initiative.


We think this app is great! We use it both as a player to keep track of what has been happening in our sessions and now as a new DM to organize our thoughts clearly. The one thing we have noticed would make a world of difference for us is that the notes feature for sessions is nice but could be refined a bit. If there were a feature in the app similar to the journal in the character sheet app (that could show locations, events, etc) in the dm app maybe accessible in the hotbar at the bottom or in the session menu, we could keep track of everything a lot better. Thanks for the amazing app!


Great tool, only thing missing is a way to create custom items/spells so on.


Love the design of the app and the simplicity of searching! Having one issue trying to import XML. We choose the file, but nothing happens, am we missing something?


This is clearly a very useful tool for a DM, and we definitely see myself using it in the future to better organize our sessions. Keep up the wonderful work! We only had two concerns from our experience with the app so far. Our first concern is that we cant seem to resize the icons on our DM screen – we hid most of the panels and now only about half of our screen is taken up, and the text on the panels is broken up and incomplete. It would be handy if we could make them larger so we can fully read the panels before tapping on them. Our second concern is that our characters info isnt always updating when we hit save. The icon in particular seems to change to one that we didnt select. We also had a few crashes when attempting to edit a character that didnt have an icon (for some reason, even though we selected the arrow & feather icon, it switched to the generic person icon after creation). Other than the few hiccups, we thoroughly appreciate this app and how it simplifies the work necessary for being a DM.


Us and our friends are in the early planning stages of making a DnD Podcast, and finding this has solved a lot of organizing and planning issues weve experienced! We use this and the character sheet app and without a doubt these are the most complete apps of their kind on the App Store. The only thing we can see that would make this one better is if the compendium had the option to be organized by challenge rating and monster type rather than just the default alphabetical order. We cant wait to see what they do with this and highly recommend it to any DnD enthusiast, DM or otherwise.


PrismDM really helps when Im planning it simply recording our campaigns for murdering our players, but when Im typing notes, we cant properly scroll down even in prism scroll character sheets. The character web is pretty nice to use so we know whos doing what and intrigue theyre going to commit. Creatures are a little lackluster, so maybe the import from prism scroll would help out there. Other than that, great job guys and cant wait for the future!


PrismDM has a lot of potential that could rival our preferred DMing app by Lions Den. For instance, the character web feature helps track connections between NPCs and the Party. It even contains a lot more resources to inspire DMs compared to them. The Issues: The characters designated as the Party dont stick between sessions. As a DM who plays in a setting that has a Georgian Era (1714-1830) aesthetic, having musketry is a must. There isnt an option/ability to add custom equipment. On that same note, a lot of the NPCs we use are homebrewed, so its really an issue in encounters in not having that material at the ready. Additions and Suggestions: Having a screen that displays the player characters and NPCs. A way to sort them (like allies and enemies) would be an even greater luxury to have. Being able to change the campaign menu colors and icon. Having conditions in initiative would help to discern whos helped or hindered by affects. In a nutshell, we encourage the creator to improve or provide where Lions Den cant, like the character web setup. In Conclusion: For now, Ill rely on Lions Den for our DMing needs and turn to PrismDM for character/party relation notes. Im hoping to reconsider this as updates come in.


The design is really nice and the app is really user friendly. All we can we say is give us new content soon!


Awesome so far. Still in the beginning stages but youre getting there! We appreciate this immensely as a first time DM. We are huge fans of prism and we joke yall should pay us for advertisement. Our friends are sick of our praise for prism lol. Feels a bit empty. Cant add pic cover for our campaign. We would like PC and enemy NPC sheets. Encounter DC calculators. Ethnic name generators (German, Japanese, Aztec). A battle map mode would be awesome (or maybe even another app. Let us know and we will buy). So far good job. We look forward to see what yall crank out.


Its a bit buggy and there are occasional errs in the rules that have been transcribed but its still very useful overall and its very easy to find information. We think that with a little tweaking and adding the ability to create your own tools, it would be an incredible asset.


This is a paid version we expect it to have everything. Ill fix the review when all of the monsters and items are included and features. Edit: Fair enough 3 stars. 5 stars if completed.


Can’t get through campaign creator on iPad Pro 2018, stuck on Custom > Select Color It’s probably a good app but we can’t even add a campaign.


Im very impressed with the clean design, but we cant give more than 2 stars until the app is complete and has the session creation options. Ill gladly change to 5 stars when we see that update!


This will be perfect for DMing. Our only gripe at the moment is that when you are selecting the campaign type it says that you can pick custom but there is no custom button.


Amazing App! We would love to see a spell lists, an encounter creator and a monster manual bit.


This is an update from our last review. The app has newly updated and fixed everything we were concerned about and is looking like its going to be adding a bunch of helpful and fun stuff! Ill give 5 stars when we see the finished result!


This is super useful. Id really like if the user could be able to change the size of the tiles so that the whole text fits in the box.


Could use some import features for monsters but it works great.


Hi. We have downloaded this program onto two different devices. For the most part it works fine, but on our iPad you cant scroll down on the ability cards. All the other cards work just fine though. On our iPhone, we were also having trouble with the ability cards. This time is wasnt that we couldnt scroll down, it was that when we try to search for specific items, just just blocks out the search bar all together. It makes it so we cant search. Those where our only problems with the app besides it not having all the creatures, but then again, who will? Over all, its a great app and is definitely worth getting if you are a dm.


Bought this as part of the Prism Bundle and let us say, this makes a world of difference. Instead of having to flip through countless books trying to find something specific, like a spell or racial feat from something less common, most of that is here and accessible within a few seconds. PSA: if you buy this, download discord and hop into their channel. You can speak directly to the developers and theyre very responsive. ALSO PSA: this app, while fantastic and easily the best out there in our opinion that we’ve seen, is still in its youth. Be patient with the developers and let them update their content. All in all, Im beyond happy with the Prism apps and look forward to using them to adventure away into the sunset for many years to come.


This app is a great start. We downloaded this when it first came out and it had a nice area filled with the rules a DM will need on the fly. We will need to reinstall it and check out the new features to give a better review but the custom monster creation really peaked our interest.
