[#104] This month, we’re doing a series of DM Tips in list form. This week, Jason steps up with a handful of web apps to help you manage your games.

DNDBeyond is the gold standard for managing characters online, it’s official, and there’s a very robust FREE tier for players in your campaign. This is the Chrome extension that Jason recommends to add additional bells and whistles.
Improved Initiative is an app for browser and mobile to track exactly what you think.
For character models you can turn into portraits and even custom miniatures, there’s HeroForge and TitanCraft
For a no-frills but free Virtual Tabletop, Owlbear Rodeo is basically in continuous development, getting better with each update.
Fast Character can whip up a playable 5e character in just a few seconds for a late-arriving player or setting up one-shots. Here’s a PDF of the PC Jason and Jim whipped up and here's the Race/Class Dice Jason mentioned
Dungeon Alchemist produces really good usable maps, including motion-enhanced versions.
If you play over Zoom, Fathom Notetaker can really enhance your notes

Everything we love can be found at curmudgeonsanddragons.com
