Getting Started
gd streamer is a streaming overlay system for tabletop wargaming tournaments. Scoring overlays update live when players input scores at the table, so you do not update scores by hand during your broadcast.
After creating a game in your dashboard, you'll get unique overlay URLs. In OBS Studio, add a new Browser Source for each overlay you want to use, paste the URL, and position it on your scene. The overlays have transparent backgrounds and will update automatically.
No special hardware is required. gd streamer runs entirely in the browser. You'll need a computer for streaming (with OBS or similar), and optionally a tablet for the player input panel at the gaming table.
Players use the tablet input panel, a split-screen interface where both players can enter their scores at the same time. Open the tablet URL on any device with a browser, and players tap to update their scores after each battle round.
Features
gd streamer includes 40+ overlay graphics: scoreboards, score banners, player info (name, faction, subfaction, total score), secondary objectives (cards, viewers, names), mission and deployment displays, deployment zone maps, round info, timer, turn indicator, game state overlay, dice cam frame, and more. Each overlay comes in four styles: Tech, Glass, Fantasy, and Flat.
Yes, you can set custom colors for each player/team to match your tournament branding or players' army colors. Colors are applied across all relevant overlays automatically.
The timer supports two modes: countdown (set a duration and it counts down) or target time (set an end time and it counts toward it). You can control the timer from the dashboard, and it displays on your stream overlays.
WTC (World Team Championship) scoring is an optional toggle that automatically converts Victory Points to WTC tournament points using the official conversion table. Made for WTC-format events.
The event schedule lets you save match configurations (player names, factions, army info, etc.) as schedule items and quickly load them into your match for future games. Studio subscribers get access to the event schedule.
Technical
gd streamer uses real-time database technology. When a player submits a score on the tablet, the change pushes to all connected overlays, usually within 100 to 200ms. No refresh needed.
gd streamer works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For OBS browser sources, we recommend using the latest version of OBS Studio.
Yes, both Standard and Studio plans let you invite co-streamers by email. They get access to control the game without needing your login credentials.
Currently, gd streamer doesn't have a public API, but we're considering it for future versions. If you have specific integration needs, please contact us.
Our cloud plans require an internet connection for real-time updates. If you need offline access, our Enterprise plan offers self-hosted deployment that runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Contact us to learn more.
