An app for the table
Wordhoard
Your players just opened the door. Is the air musty? Or is it sepulchral?
Wordhoard is a vocabulary reference for game masters, players, and writers who want the right word mid-scene without breaking the flow. No definitions to wade through. The words are organized the way you actually reach for them at the table.
Built by Blaine, the Felon at this table and the GM behind our GM Tips.

Four tabs mirror the moments of play: World, Combat, Monsters, and People. Drill from a category to a handful of vivid, usable words in two taps. Describing a castle, a wound, a howl in the dark, or the look on the baron's face? The words are already sorted for that moment.

Tools for the table
- Inspire Me deals a spread of words into an instant scene prompt when your mind blanks.
- NPC Emotions is a feelings wheel that takes you from "angry" to the precise shade of it.
- Places & Parts has the names of things you always forget: the parts of ships, castles, churches, and stations.
- Pronunciation lets you hear any word aloud before you say it in front of the table.
Build your hoard
Save the words you love and group them into collections for a campaign. Write your own word packs, like your world's slang or spell names, and share them with your whole table with a single link. Then test yourself with the Word Quiz and make them yours.
Free to explore
The opening categories of the Fantasy setting are free, forever. One small upgrade, Wordhoard Pro ($2.99 in the US, paid once), unlocks the entire library: every category, all four settings, collections, and custom word packs. No subscription, no ads, no account. Nothing leaves your device.
The word "wordhoard" is a thousand years old. Old English poets used it for the treasury of words a storyteller keeps. Yours is waiting.
It pairs with the way we run games. If you liked Stop Describing Rooms, this is the app that keeps the right word in your pocket.
