DMHelper is a VTT that will act as your in-game assistance, your dungeon master’s swiss army knife, taking care of the administrative tasks and allowing you to focus on your players, the narrative, and having fun!

Version 2.5 is an incremental improvement on the last release, with some new features and some real Quality of Life enhancements!

Version 2.5

The new HW-accelerated Player Window rendering has been further tuned and upgraded to include full video support!

  • Lock the published grid size - perfect for an external screen using minis
  • Syrinscape Online is now integrated, play back sounds at each of your player’s PCs!
  • Browser-like navigation forwards and backwards through last campaign entries
  • Grid size and grid color are configurable
  • Yes/No check for clear/fill Fog of War to avoid embarrassing map-nudity in combat
  • Map selection improvements for videos
  • Automatic saving of the bestiary and spellbook upon close of the dialog

 

Key Features of DM Helper

  • A two-window system created for displaying and editing for the dungeon master, and a ‘Player Window’ to display only what you wish for the players to see; NPC images, maps, battles, item images, etc. The ‘Player Window’ can be used on an external monitor or shared via streaming tools for full flexibility in whatever situation you need.
  • Fully functioning tabletop-like combat via our battle view which includes an initiative tracker, player/NPC/monster tokens, hit point tracking, damage tracking, and area of effect spell effects that offer saving throw rolls and damage for all targets hit.
  • Integrated D&D Beyond character import & updates
  • Full map visualization of static or animated maps. That means editable fog of war, panning, different tools to zoom in on specific details, and a pointer to highlight individual items on the map.
  • A detailed bestiary, pre-filled with all open-source SRD monsters with the ability to add your own custom monsters, monster images, and monster stats!
  • A campaign tree structured to easily break down and organize your campaign into adventures, encounters, maps, locations, party members and NPCs. No more cluttered notes, and desk space!
  • A quick reference to all combat actions, conditions, environmental conditions, and movement actions; basically a DM cheat sheet that can be easily accessed!
  • Editable reference, and custom, tables including all SRD equipment, and available to add all your homebrew items and tables! This even includes a random marketplace inventory generator!
  • A fully configurable campaign clock for tracking time and day throughout your adventures, got an NPC who only has 4 years left to live? Perfect, you’ll make sure his patron takes his life just on time!
  • Import/Export every item of DMHelper from your characters to maps to encounters between campaigns, or even import full adventures with all the bells and whistles into your existing campaign!
  • A configurable calendar to meet your custom seasons, months, and day or just use your standard calendar. Whatever sun(s) spins, or deities rule, your world we have something here to help you track every moment!

Question: Does this program allow for DMs to enter their own Monsters, Gear, Weapons, Classes, Races, Spells, Magic items, etc.

The current version only has a database for monsters, the Bestiary. In there, you can created new entries, export your monsters and import monster files created by other users.

The reference tables for equipment can be customized by editing their XML file (the User's Guide has the details), but ghese can be edited in the app.

An upcoming version will have a Spellbook, which will have the same capabilities for spells and more - like adding a spell effect directly into a battle.

Classes and races for characters can be entered freely as they are simply text fields, but the DM Helper is not a character generation tool, so there is nothing further behind these entries.

Cheers,
Craig

A quick update on this comment for v2.3:
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no... The Magic Items DB will probably come in the next version... everything else can be edited!

The application supports Windows 10, 8.1 and 7.

There are no other "Minimum Requirements" in terms of needed HW or other SW. We use this on desktops, laptops and tablets with all kinds of configurations. From experience, we can recommend using a mouse and having a good screen resolution for ease of use, but it also works on a lower-resolution touch device!

If you have any problems with the application on your system, please contact us and we're happy to support!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
