Adding NameWheels to OBS

Display the wheel on your stream in 3 easy steps.

Position & Resize

Drag and resize the source to fit your layout. The wheel works at any size. Enable "Shutdown source when not visible" to save resources between scenes.

Using the Wheel for D&D Sessions

⚔️

Initiative Order

Add all player character names and NPCs. Spin to determine who acts first. Remove each name after their turn to track initiative visually.

🗺️

Random Encounters

Create a wheel with 10-15 encounter types (Goblin Ambush, Traveling Merchant, Ancient Ruins, etc.). Spin when players enter new areas.

💎

Loot Distribution

When the party finds treasure, add player names and spin to see who gets first pick. Fair and eliminates arguments at the table.

🎭

NPC Name Generator

Pre-load a wheel with 30 fantasy names. When players meet a new NPC unexpectedly, spin for an instant name. Saves you from "uh... his name is... Bob."
