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.
Latest Features with DMHelper v3.7:
- Daggerheart Support
Added Daggerheart-specific SRD content, monster and character templates, and an easy-access fear counter. Configurable movement ranges let you run Daggerheart battles seamlessly. - Overlay Elements
Added overlays for fear, counters, timers, and audio, plus improved dropdowns with auto-completion for faster selection. Overlays are shown on the Player Window regardless of the currently published entry. - Fog of War Editing
The selected Fog of War layer is now highlighted on the DM Window during editing. FoW textures with partial transparency are now supported. - Streamlined Map and Combat Creation
A new wizard guides users through adding maps or combats, replacing all setup questions. Drag and drop now allows quick addition of maps, battles, media layers, tokens, and icons directly to the DM Window. - Improved Grid and Measurement Tools
A new grid sizing tool combined with automatic grid detection makes it easier to set token sizes. Snap-to-grid behavior now applies to both player windows and measurement tools. - Interactive Entry Preview Window
Added the ability to open an interactive preview dialog for text entries. - Monster Skinning
Convert any creature by applying a new icon to the monster ... and a bucketload of bug-fixes! (really! Check the release notes...)
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.
