How it works

All it needs is an idea.

Bring a story and a rule set. Doungim creates the game for you.

  1. Step 1

    Bring an idea

    A story you want to tell and the rule set you want to play by. That is all Doungim needs.

  2. Step 2

    Doungim creates the game

    It turns your idea into a game, ready to play at the table.

  3. Step 3

    Play at the table

    Gather round, roll real dice and move real miniatures. The story is yours.

The hardware

Everything the table needs, built in

Turn it on and play. There is no laptop to connect.

The map board

A horizontal screen under a dice safe play surface. Your miniatures stand right on the map.

The gate

A second screen for NPC portraits, boss views, cinematic angles, remote players, rule answers and subtitles.

The camera

Reads and totals real dice, tracks miniatures on the map and seats remote players. Owner controlled and privacy first.

Microphone and speakers

Ask a rules question mid turn, give voice commands and hear every NPC with its own voice.

Built in computer

All the processing lives inside the console, so the table stays clear of laptops.

Portable

A carry case is engineered for it, so Doungim can travel to wherever game night happens.

At the table

The maths is handled. The story is yours.

  • Living maps: fog of war, dynamic reveal, lighting, fire, rain, mist and lava under your minis.
  • Automatic maths: rolls, modifiers, damage, initiative, HP and conditions.
  • A rules engine you tune: from strict to cinematic chaos, and it remembers your house rules.
  • Session memory: recaps, live notes and lore questions answered.
