Pocket DM support

Help with building adventures, making heroes, running a game and connecting players at your table.

We aim to reply within three business days.

What to include

  • Your device model and system version.
  • The Pocket DM version (0.1.0 or later) and your iOS version.
  • What you were trying to do, what you expected, and what happened.

Please leave out passwords, access keys, and private records about other people. If we need a file, we’ll suggest a safe way to share it.

Common questions

Do we need internet to play?

No. Nearby play connects devices at the same table directly over Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth.

Players can’t find my game.

Make sure Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth are on for everyone, and that Pocket DM is allowed in Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network. If a player still can’t see the game, have them leave and search again, and refresh the join code on the game master’s device.

How many players can join?

Up to six player devices, each approved by the game master.

How do I print a character sheet?

Open the hero and export the character sheet PDF, then save it to Files or print it from there.

Where are my adventures saved?

On your device. Use Save File to keep a copy of an adventure or hero in the Files app. There is no full-library backup or import yet, and single heroes and adventures can’t be deleted in the app yet.

Requirements

iPhone and iPadiOS 17 or later.
