DM Helper
A downloadable Virtual Tabletop for Windows and macOS
DMHelper is a powerful Virtual Tabletop (VTT) tool designed to enhance your tabletop RPG sessions. Whether you're a Dungeon Master or a player, DMHelper provides an extensive suite of features to streamline gameplay and bring your world to life.
Bugfix release with DMHelper v3.5:
- A simple release with a few bugfixes: removed some crashes and issues associated with adding & removing monsters to combats, and reactivated the SoundBoard
Latest Features in DMHelper v3.4:
- Autosaving is here! The default is ON, but it can be turned off in Settings
- Enhanced backup files: an extra backup file is made any time a saved campaign file or resource file (e.g. Bestiary or Spellbook) grows by more than 20% or shrinks
- Improved effects dialog: Slight overhaul, you can auto-delete an effect after applying damage and the application of spell effect conditions is automatic
- Help Dialog: Links to the Discord, Getting Started and User's Guides, but also direct link buttons to open the Logs or Backup directories, which might be useful in the unlikely event of an emergency...
- ... and a bucketload of bug-fixes!
Key Features:
- 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.
- Customizable Tables & Calendars: Build custom tables for items or equipment and set up an in-game calendar for tracking time within your campaign.
With DMHelper, you have the ultimate tool to create, manage, and enjoy tabletop RPG adventures, whether you're a seasoned DM or a player embarking on a thrilling quest.
