Ambient Mixer – I love this one because you can make your own mixer or use one of the existing ones, which include such gems as Gryffindor Common Room, On a Ship at Sea, and Mr. Tumnus’s House!
Music
Spotify – specifically mixes by this user! (I like to find my favorite soundtracks and hit “Go to Radio” and then I just save songs that aren’t too distracting to mood-appropriate playlists.)
And of course, I would be remiss not to mention Tabletop Audio. This website has soundscapes, music, mixes of both, all sorted by category! It’s an amazing resource. There’s also Battlebards if you don’t mind paying for the resource.
Lastly, a funky bit of background sound that’s good for weird places and situations might be Listen to Wikipedia. I also have an audio tag.
I decided to make a list of DM stuff that I personally use or think are important to know when it comes to being a DM. So here’s my list:
Medieval Fantasy City Generator: This generator is now my LIFE. It generates incredibly complex cities with good customization. (Thanks to plantkat for sharing this site in their post here)
Naming Your Towns/Cities:Now that you’ve made your city, time to name it and give it some character! This post contains lots of great information.
Index Cards Rule:Fuckyeahdnd shared a SUPER convenient way of keeping track of turns and HP in combat. I use this system now for every single session I run.
Troublesome Players? Speak Up:Dicebound brings up an incredibly great point. If someone is being a jerk, speak up and call them out. This is especially important and relevant now to crush awful behavior before it even has a chance to show it’s ugly face.
(Character stuff, spells, online communities/ways to play, etc..)
A lot of people contributed to this post but thank you Mushroomancy for posting the original list.
Donjon: And finally, this site is a great resource for looking up Spells and Monsters along with tons of other generators. Not every single Spell or Monster is on here, but most are listed.
(I tried to give credit to the original posters or the actual URL for websites, unless those sites or URLs were no longer active)
WorldAnvil is a suite of worldbuilding and rpg tools. We help authors, GMs, hobbyists, and creators of all sorts write and keep track of their worlds!
WorldAnvil introduces templates for writing about every aspect of your world, from characters to nations. They act as a guide, allowing you to have all the things you need at your fingertips when your memory fails you on what to describe!
Our templates also let you create placeholder links on the fly! Never
have to stop mid-flow to create the other article you just mentioned,
or go back later to add links!
The system will connect the
articles and provide a link. If your article doesn’t exist yet, it is as
easy as clicking on it to create a new article and start writing!
Our
timeline system lets you keep track of everything that has ever
happened in your world.
Use it to keep track of worldbuilding, party
encounters, character’s lives and more. Attach a timeline to an article, or keep it as an independent summary of world history!
A visual person? We have you sorted with our maps suite! Upload your own maps, and bring them to life with markers that connect to your articles, layers and overlays!
All tees are ethically traded, made sustainably with organic cotton & carbon-neutral manufacturing (‘earth positive’ – more info here! https://www.continentalclothing.com/about ) and screenprinted with this drawing I did.
I was looking for an easy map creator that makes beautiful maps for a while now to make a visually stunning map to go along with my book. And now, after such a long search i have finally found one that suits my needs! Because i like it so much, i thought i’d share it with you guys! Just go to inkarnate.com and start creating! I have to warn you though, it is still in beta so a lot still needs to be added, but already it looks great and is easy to use!
I mean just look how beautiful some of these maps are!
And it is so much fun too! Someone even created a game of thrones map that is simply amazing!
So check it out and start creating your visual aid for your story. I promise you, it really is super easy and you will make one in no time!
