Community Insight:
We like the puzzles and game set examples also.
Helpful for coming up with new ideas.
The level of options is staggering! We dont know how we got through a campaign before we found this.
We love this app. This is very helpful. As a person who is newer to dming we find this app amazing. Thank you for this.
Ill have trouble coming up with ideas but this just saved us a LOT of time thank you.
So much value! We cant DM without this app anymore, we are so spoiled. So many awesomely generated options as well as a very useful soundboard.
We're blown away by the variety and quality of the tools and resources here! Someone put a lot of love into this app, and we'll be using it every session.
Feature request icloud support so we can start on one device and finish on another.
This helps out so much. It helps you fill in pieces that normally would take us a good amount of time and planning. For ourselves it allows us to think more on the adventure continuing! Try it out! Theres a one time fee of 99 (varies on what country you live in) and all your content is saved in one app. There is a randomizer for basically anything. You also have the option to create from a blank asset. Check it out.
As a DM, this has more or less everything we could want as far as little tools to make things easier on us / prevent us from trying to stuff too much stuff in our brain. A+. Premium is a STEAL, even a rogue would pay for it.
This app has almost everything you could ever need/want for running a game. However we wish there were more race options for npcs and a filter for generating any sort of content. That way when you have something certain in mind you can filter in the things you want and let the app fill in the rest of the blanks. Other than that its a great app.
Does exactly what it says. Makes a fun and quick campanion when building. Feature request. The ability to select a portion or all and copy to clipboard. Or even a clipboard extension versus sending to a note to copy.
We do wish we could put saved item in folders inside the app instead of using files but thats a nit. It generates all kinds of things we need and lets us save them saving our time on details that add favor to the game.
Wow, we have never had such a resourceful tool in our hands before. Just about everything Ive been looking for! Hope they keep updating and adding great content.
Dude this is the bomb app for dms.
There are a few recommendations we would like to make, however, its a great app all together. The saved items file should have files inside the file as well to separate and organize items for quick and easy access. Also, the a quite a bit of repeats when make random events and other random things, although, the generator still helps with improv.
This app generates stuff like no other. Ive used it many times for prep in our campaign and it works like magic. The only problem is that you need to have premium to edit treasure.
Im going to use this app A LOT, its amazing, good job.
This is the greatest GM/DM tool Ive used. Ive been through our fair share of tool kits for world building, and this is by far the best Ive used. Its simple UI gives the user an amazing ease of use. So helpful and saves us an unimaginable amount of time.
As a newer DM we picked this up between campaigns, and it has been INCREDIBLY helpful!! Our last campaign spun out for social drama reasons but it wouldn't have lasted long regardless as we felt very overwhelmed by world building and encounter setup done on-the-fly as we're a natural planner. We have trouble studying and focusing though so to say we struggle to actually keep track of our world building is an understatement (we're also getting into World Anvil for that, solid 8/10, we still recommend) but with this we can summon cities and npcs and encounters instantly and we can edit and save them too for $1. No it's not a subscription either! We know we sound way too happy about this but for the record it's genuine, we're not being sponsored we 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, we also often can't do) so uh, yeah, we're keeping this app forever and you should try it too.
This app is wonderful for generating new ideas! Ive thrown together cities, quests, dungeons, all from this handy app. Its so easy to use and customize, and its very affordably priced for the pro version! Our only feature request would be some sort of syncing across our account. We have the app on our iPad for when Im DMing, but if we have an idea while Im not at home, putting it in the app on our phone wont sync to the iPad, so we have to go copy it down later. It would be awesome to have it save to a cloud account so we could access it from all our devices.
The full version of this is a really powerful tool for a dollar. Ive been using the app for about 30 minutes now and its already saved us hours worth of work. 10/10.
We are not one that usually reviews apps, but after using this app for some idea creation in a game Im running, we felt we had to. The creators of this app are obviously game masters themselves and took the time to develop a simple single use point for any random roll tables you could possibly need with a simple and easy to use interface! We are blown away with how well this works. Great job to the dev team for this! We look forward to any future additions you make to this! We now use this as a daily tool for developing content for our games.
This helps with everything we can think of you are doing a very good job we hope you dont stop to perfecting this beautiful piece and of art Perfect.
Probably our favorite app for D&D! Helps us with quick creations and if Im ever stuck on our world building! We hope it continues to grow and get bigger.
This is the ultimate DM tool. You can literally do everything you need to as a DM except actually creating the maps. It add so much to the game, and allows you to deal with players who think outside the box or go off script at a moments notice. We cannot recommend this enough. We have been playing D&D and other RPGs for over 35 years, and we have not found a better tool to help the game.
We love the app, but we wish there were more races to pick from when generating more Npcs.
Always on the lookout for good tools to make our life easier as a DM and this one helps with generating a lot of little details you'll find useful when running your game.
This app has seriously changed the way we plan and how long it takes us to plan. We spend a significant amount of time trying to create characters and loot on the fly. We try to keep it exciting for our players but it can be hard after so long. This app is a lifesaver. Need loot? Click and you have them. Need a protagonist? Click and bam. Get it.
HOLY CRAP! This app has literally everything a dm can need! Monsters, items, traps, etc.
We wouldve spent 10 bucks for this material and platform. Absolutely astonishing.
We wish we could rate this app higher! What an amazing and powerful set of tools.
We have already found all the content available here to be immensely beneficial. We think the only thing that could make it better is the ability to have an encounter portion with your party to help the DM track that. But truly great app and well worth the download.
Ive been using this app for about a year now to create and keep track of a D&D campaign Im building. You can add your own monsters, weapons, you name it. If you cant think of anything, you can generate something at random for inspiration. Theres ambient sounds, a dice roller, initiative tracker, too much to list. We just cant believe how useful this app has been in helping create our own story. Im looking forward to more updates if any come but otherwise this is the perfect app for a Dungeon Master.
This app has been a godsend!! We use it when planning adventures, and its been so useful! Wanna see it use more content from the newer stuff, but its still great! Definitely recommend.
We use this for every session we run.
This app has allowed us to create an amazing fleshed out D&D world on the fly! We can create anything our players throw at us fairly quickly, from a random quest, to a full family of people needing help.
This is one of the most impressive dnd generator apps we have ever seen, it has anything a panicking dm needs to save an encounter they werent 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 Id really appreciate being added is when generating a monster, if a type option could also be given. For example say Im in the woods and know we want a beast but dont know which one we should do, we can get one. Say our players stepped into a fairy circle by accident, and we know we want them to find a level 3 fae. It would be convenient but we still really like this app cause it really just does everything you could want.
We have tried dozens of other apps, with a decent handful of them that we use to DM our sessions. However, we have never seen such a versatile tool as this one. Theres all the features we want, like music, treasure hoard generators, dice sims, and random NPCs. Other than that though, theres a whole lot of options for stuff we didnt even know we 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, our favorite has to be the random events, thats includes a large variety of potentially interesting scenarios for our exploration-based campaign. Theres a few things we think should definitely be added in some way, such as maybe an initiative count, and being able to keep track of our players spells as well as spell slots would for some be unnecessary, but honestly it would stoping some cheating and maybe give us a better chance to incorporate the players functions into the campaign. All in all very useful though, really helps.
It literally has any kind of random generator you could want(except a generated random encounter) other than than that though it has literally everything we could want! It even has music and sound bites for immersion. 10/10 awesome app.
As the title states, this is a great app and useful tool for the DM short on ideas or time.
We have really enjoyed using this app and it has saved us from a few awkward moments at our table, but we have realized that it has something missing from the quick shops. Their names! We know that it provides an NPC to run the shop who has a name, but the generator does not provide a names for the shop itself. We would otherwise absolutely give this generator a 5 star review as it is very helpful in other areas.
This app literally has every DM tool we could think of that we needed and even the sound board is great with premixed sounds for almost every situation plus we have never seen in game mini games for characters to play but this app has quite a few plus for only .99 cents you can upgrade to the premium version to add your own stuff and from our experience thats the cheapest premium upgrade of any DM tools app we have ever seen.
We can see how valuable this app is, if not for inspiration but for running a game. You would not be wasting your time with this app. Its also nice to have the soundboard, we hope it expands. The developer is also polite and responsive.
We love the ease of use and how awesome the generators are. It has made our city building a lot easier. Love this app have used it a lot.
This has been pretty helpful as a dm.
Very user friendly, on of the few apps we use at the table.
Yeeeeeeeeees!!!! We did treasure and found, the amazing, CALVINBALL!!!!!!!!!!! This is great! And the Hobbes illusion just makes it the best.
We downloaded this app a couple months ago and theyve already improved it tremendously. This app is very helpful for those who forgot to plan a session.
This app has given us the ability to feel like a pro, since we are a DM for the first time. This app is great for all, however the in-app purchases are quite annoying(cmon developers dont make us pay to edit NPCs). The app is still great and we cannot wait for becoming a pro with the apps help.
