Rules Goblin
Ask a rules question out loud. The goblin looks it up and tells you.
Hold the button and ask like you'd ask the table: "Can I hide behind my friend?" "What does Prone do?" "How far can I jump?" Rules Goblin finds the rule, answers out loud, and shows you what it read.
Free. No account, no ads, and nothing leaves your phone.
Coming soon to the App Store
iPhone 15 Pro and newer.
A look inside
What it does
Push to talk
Hold the big button and ask in your own words. You don't need to know what the rule is called.
Answers out loud
A short, plain answer, spoken so the whole table hears it. Then back to the game.
Shows its homework
Every answer comes with the rules it used, on cards you can read. Check the goblin's work.
Knows the 2024 rules
Combat, conditions, spells, monsters and more, from the free System Reference Document 5.2.1. Compatible with fifth edition.
Works offline
Everything runs on your iPhone, so it works in the basement, at the cottage, or in airplane mode.
Made for families
Built at a family table where kids ask half the questions. Plain words, patient answers, no ads.
Private by design
No data collected. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your questions are heard, answered and kept on your phone. The only download is the goblin's brain, from Apple, the first time you open the app. Read the privacy policy.
What it doesn't know
The goblin only knows the free rules: the System Reference Document 5.2.1. That covers the core rules, hundreds of spells and monsters, conditions and equipment. It doesn't know what's only in the other books, your adventure, or your starter set's cards.
It's usually right, but not always, so it shows you the rule it read. And the person running the game still has the final say. How it works.
Who drew the goblins
The title page and the goblins on this site were drawn by the youngest player at our table. One day they'll be in the app, too.
