Field notes

Sidebard describes a microphone-led workflow in which spoken table activity becomes optional cards rather than audible interruptions or typed commands. Examples include resolving an ogre’s attacks, adding creatures to a map, checking passive scores, and preparing a named non-player character. The page says its creature material covers 326 stat blocks and cites SRD 5.2.1 under CC BY 4.0. The intended desktop target is Windows 10 or 11; Mac support is not available yet.
