DM Resources
I am much too lazy to do all my own writing. So here are some things I use that may help others operating in my world.
General Tools
As long as we’re running Wildemount I have found this incredibly useful for mapping distances.
I’ve backed this “Theatre of the Mind” VTT since its earliest beginnings. It's great for creating scenes we can project on the TV, complete with ambient sound, music, environmental effects, and your own uploaded art. Through this tool, I also have access to all JamesRPG and CzePeku content (see below).
Maps
My absolute favorite mapmaker, who I support on Patreon. I have access to every variation of every map if needed.
Another map maker who does good generic things where Czepeku is unique and flavorful and more suited to memorable encounters. I haven’t used his stuff as much.
Scene Art
Czepeku also does scene art; I am a Patron of this too, and have access to all content.
Another excellent scene art resource (and another Patreon sub for me).
Settings
Maps, lore, descriptions, NPCs. I am a Patron and can get you any city you like. I haven’t actually used these as we don’t stay in one place long enough to justify it.
Griffon’s fully-realized settings and subclasses. They’re smaller than BB but I have used them many times — Feolinn, the Savalirwood, and Uthodurn were all pulled in part from this material. As a patron I can access these too — let me know if there’s a particular type of environment you need and I will see what I have.
Magic Items & Monsters
The place I get unique magic items. Great for highly thematic or quirky options. I’m a Patron with access to the full catalog if you need it.
Boss monsters along with some flavorful henchmen and magic items. I support them on Patreon, and have a number of these already; if you see one you want, just ask.
stinklikeonion
Lots of calculators and generators, and the place I create shops for the towns we visit. You can generate it all or curate your own. I support their Patreon and have a few added features so if you don't see something I used just ask me about it.
Generators
HartleyWorking
There are many, many name generators out there. This is the one I use the most as I find it aligns well with the conventions laid out in the DMG.
The site isn’t much to look at but there are a TON of generators here. It has ended up being my favorite trap generator because it gives you fine grained control over the level and difficulty (read: lethality) of the traps.
Sometimes I don’t want to think of inn names and tavern prices. This generator can do some of it for me.
Even if you don’t use Discord, this is a nice tool. I specifically use it to generate loot, libraries, and occasionally even names and NPCs.Links go to the specific tools. This bot also integrates with D&D Beyond.
