[#104] This month, we’re doing a series of DM Tips in list form. This week, Jason steps up with a handful of web apps to help you manage your games.
- DNDBeyond is the gold standard for managing characters online, it’s official, and there’s a very robust FREE tier for players in your campaign. This is the Chrome extension that Jason recommends to add additional bells and whistles.
- Improved Initiative is an app for browser and mobile to track exactly what you think.
- For character models you can turn into portraits and even custom miniatures, there’s HeroForge and TitanCraft
- For a no-frills but free Virtual Tabletop, Owlbear Rodeo is basically in continuous development, getting better with each update.
- Fast Character can whip up a playable 5e character in just a few seconds for a late-arriving player or setting up one-shots. Here’s a PDF of the PC Jason and Jim whipped up and here's the Race/Class Dice Jason mentioned
- Dungeon Alchemist produces really good usable maps, including motion-enhanced versions.
- If you play over Zoom, Fathom Notetaker can really enhance your notes
