Love Using Card Images - ๐Ÿ˜€

Love this version with the card images. That's all I use, now. Cuts the game prep time by about half.

Finally!

Been looking through apps to get one to help generate encounters but all the others is till end up looking up the monsters. Having their stats just come up after generating the encounter is great!

Nice combo. Easy to use.

I like that this app has combined all the elements I need for an encounter. It has a nice intuitive design too. Looking forward to trying it out on my campaign this weekend.

UPDATE: I love the fact that I can create my own list to pull from rather than just using the default monster pool. Just copy and paste the monsters you want to use for your campaign into the new list and you're done. All the stats are included for each encounter too. Very convenient.

UPDATE V2.0: Nice set of improvements; very customizable. I like the addition of monster attributes (move silent/listen, etc) and the ability to add multiple melee/range fields

Very cool app

Wow! This app dramatically assists a dungeon master to maintain the pace of the game by eliminating "look up" time. The amount of details for each monster is astounding! Love the sound effects!

Needs working

First of all, it was not stated that the app is intended for use with D&D 4. I'm a huge fan of 3.5 and I use it to the present.

The app is good and, with some adaptations, will attend me, although I think some changes are needed:

- the ability to add the basic attributes (strength, dexterity and so on) because sometimes the "monsters" are other humans playing as enemy warriors, for example;

- the maximum length of the lists is fixed. I think it could change to allow any list size;

- we are fixed to one melee and one ranged action. It can for sure get better.

The app is great and will be of great help. But the stated points need to be worked. Work on them or propose better solutions and I'll change my review to a higher one (5-star, who knows? ;-) )
