Your Dungeon Master's toolkit • Adventures: Build, organize, and run your worlds. Link NPCs, locations, loot, and encounters together with rich notes, @-mentions, and embedded statblocks. Lay out scenes on the Canvas, plot key moments on the Timeline, and pin locations on Maps. • Encounters: Track hit points, conditions, initiative, and encounter balance in real time, with similar monsters grouped so you have fewer statblocks to juggle.
