Version 3.6

Version 3.6 of DMHelper has an exciting set of new features to make your life even easier!

New Major Features:

  • Dynamic Monster definitions: It’s done! Play any TTRPG you want using DMHelper from now on! Just configure your character and bestiary data to fit the game you play – or use one of the pre-configured options!
  • Upgraded Text rendering: More control and full layer support behind text publishing and animations… try it out!
  • Skinning Monsters: Need a quick orc priest? Grab an acolyte and give it a new token. Reminder: you can also create an NPC derived from monster if you want that orc priest to appear again and again OR if you just want to give acolytes a permanent option to be orc priests, add the new token in the Bestiary, and enjoy it forever!

Key Features of DMHelper

  • Two-Window System: Efficiently manage content across two windows, with a separate “Player Window” to control what information is shared with your players.
  • Tabletop-Like Combat: Engage in combat with an initiative tracker, token management, hit point tracking, and more, making battles smoother and easier to run.
  • Map Visualization: Create static or animated maps with Fog of War, zoom tools, and advanced layers for a fully immersive experience.
  • Bestiary: Access an extensive bestiary or add your own custom monsters with stats and images to create unique encounters.
  • Campaign Organization: Keep your campaigns organized with a campaign tree that tracks everything from adventures and maps to NPCs and party members.
  • D&D Beyond Integration: Easily import characters and manage updates from D&D Beyond to save time and keep everything in sync.
