Imagine yourself sitting at the table, your friends gathered, the dice ready, the map laid out in front of you. Everything you need to run the encounter is tucked neatly inside the drawer beside your GM screen: notes, stat blocks, minis, reminders, secrets. Now imagine bringing that same hidden drawer to your virtual table. Every scene, every encounter, your own GM’s Drawer: always organized, always close at hand, and always just one click or hotkey away.
GM’s Drawer is a scene-specific command center for Game Masters in Foundry VTT. It keeps the tools you need for each encounter in one fast, accessible place, completely separate from your global sidebar clutter. Open it with Alt + G or through the Archive Tab launcher, and instantly access the resources you prepared for the current scene.
