Narrative Nexus for Pathfinder 2e GMs

PF2e's math rewards a GM who can look things up fast — difficulty budgets, condition stacking, the exact wording on a monster's ability. Nexus gives that a free, ruleset-aware toolkit and a compendium wired into campaign prep, not a separate tab you have to remember to open.

Free tools that already understand PF2e

DM screen

A modular grid — initiative, dice, notes, monster reference — arranged your way. No signup.

Character sheet

PF2e's own stats and skills, not a generic d20 sheet.

Dice roller

Free in-browser dice roller with standard notation.

The compendium

Over 24,000 PF2e entries — creatures, actions, spells, and more — free to browse at /compendium/pf2e, ORC-licensed open content used under Paizo's Community Use Policy, sourced from Archives of Nethys. Archives of Nethys remains the community's deepest, most-complete PF2e reference — this compendium is the free lookup wired directly into your DM screen and campaign, not a replacement for it.

Bring your table

A free account tracks encounters, NPCs, and session history for a running PF2e campaign alongside the tools above. See the free tier — no card required, and the product works with AI switched off entirely if that's how you'd rather run it (see how we use AI).

Frequently asked questions

Is this a replacement for Archives of Nethys?
No. Archives of Nethys is the community's complete, official-adjacent PF2e reference and stays the deepest rules lookup for the system. Our compendium is a smaller, free, no-account library under the same Community Use license, wired into DM screen, character sheet, and campaign tools instead of standing alone.
What license is the PF2e content under?
ORC-licensed open content, used under Paizo's Community Use Policy — content derived from the Pathfinder Second Edition rules system, credited as required.
Does Narrative Nexus support PF2e character building?
The free character sheet sandbox handles PF2e's stats and skills; deeper build tools (feat trees, class progression) aren't a focus yet — Archives of Nethys remains the deeper reference for that.
Is any of this free?
The dice roller, DM screen sandbox, character sheet sandbox, and the full PF2e compendium are free with no signup. A free account adds campaign-linked encounter and session tracking.
