Game Master's Toolkit 5e

As a newer DM I picked this up between campaigns, and it has been INCREDIBLY helpful!! My last campaign spun out for social drama reasons but it wouldn't have lasted long regardless as I felt very overwhelmed by world building and encounter setup done on-the-fly as I'm a natural planner. I have trouble studying and focusing though so to say I struggle to actually keep track of my world building is an understatement (I'm also getting into World Anvil for that, solid 8/10, I still recommend) but with this I can summon cities and npcs and encounters instantly and I can edit and save them too for $1. No it's not a subscription either! I know I sound way too happy about this but for the record it's genuine, I'm not being sponsored I just actually feel this way lol But yeah anyways this app is a perfect tool for the story-invested DM who wants consistent engagement, but struggles to just spit ball really fast when things go sideways (and they always do) or when you can't prep ahead (which, being disabled, I also often can't do) so uh, yeah, I'm keeping this app forever and you should try it too ✌️

This is one of the most impressive dnd generator apps I have ever seen, it has anything a panicking dm needs to save an encounter they weren’t prepared for or a parties weird change of direction or pace. Everything is well explained and a good baseline is given even for explaining to the characters what they are seeing. One feature I’d really appreciate being added is when generating a monster, if a type option could also be given. For example say I’m in the woods and know I want a beast but don’t know which one I should do, I can get one. Say my players stepped into a fairy circle by accident, and I know I want them to find a level 3 fae. It would be convenient but I still really like this app cause it really just does everything you could want.

I have tried dozens of other apps, with a decent handful of them that I use to DM my sessions. However, I have never seen such a versatile tool as this one. There’s all the features I want, like music, treasure hoard generators, dice sims, and random NPC’s. Other than that though, there’s a whole lot of options for stuff I didn’t even know I wanted or needed until now. Like an overview of a party currently, a magic items generator, some puzzle options, quest generators, and a ton of other handy stuff. Personally, my favorite has to be the random events, that’s includes a large variety of potentially interesting scenarios for my exploration-based campaign. There’s a few things I think should definitely be added in some way, such as maybe an initiative count, and being able to keep track of my player’s spells as well as spell slots would for some be unnecessary, but honestly it would stoping some cheating and maybe give me a better chance to incorporate the players functions into the campaign. All in all very useful though, really helps!
