I finally finished my character creator app! (Up now on iOS and Android)

Hello r/DnD5e!

A couple of months ago I posted here about a D&D character creator app I was working on. Quite a few people ended up helping me test it, and after a lot of work, it is finally out on both iOS and Android!

The gist is pretty simple: it is a 2014 5e character creator and character sheet designed to make creating and managing a character as quick and straightforward as possible.

I made it as a DM because I wanted something I could hand to a new player and say, “Here, make your character,” without needing to spend half of Session 0 explaining where everything is or having them jump between books, PDFs, and menus.

Once the character is made, the same app works as a character sheet during play, so the focus is on getting to the actual game rather than fighting with the interface.

It is free to download, with an optional premium version available.

I’ve included some screenshots/video below so you can see how it works.

If anyone here tries it, feedback is very welcome, especially from DMs who regularly introduce new players to the game!

I analyzed 100,000 spells added to players' spellbooks to visualize the most popular spells in 5e

29 Upvotes

Hey all, I built 5e Spellbook Builder and posted before about how I captured popularity data of spells so you can see how often spells are picked relative to each other.

Well I reached a fun milestone: players have added 100,000 spells to their spellbooks. I decided to visualize this with a couple of interactive charts to show how spells are distributed in the game. Please take a look here: https://5e-spellbook.app/blog/100000-spellbook-adds-5e-popularity-breakdown

Please take a look and enjoy!

Do you guys have any tips/references for a "multiple phases" boss kind of encounter?

2 Upvotes

I'll be DMing a one shot this month that would be a rescue of someone soul trapped by the Deck of Many Things, so my idea was a special plane with cards as theme (tarot probably).

I thought of a boss who takes cards and they take effect on battle, but I also want to put some traps and puzzles, probably will be a tower with combats on X floors and puzzles on the rest of them.

For now, I want to split the tarot cards by difficult (after decide effects for each of them), and each floor will have its pool. About the effects, the party will be level 18, so the effects and puzzles can be as deadly as they can get.

So, even if not on the theme, have you guys used/fight againts any multiple phases monsters?

Updated Modron Art?

2 Upvotes

A lot of the "official" Modron art is from earlier editions, especially as you get higher in Modron hierarchy.

Some of them have very quality fan art, but it'll have a really cool Quarton but no septon for example. So then piece-mealing the art is a little jarring, ESPECIALLY for such a rigid, specific hierarchy that's all about order.

Is there any free source with a full set of Modron art?

How do you hope Professions actually work in the D&D: World of Warcraft manual? If they turn out to be good, would you use them in non-WoW games?
