About this app

Take command of your Dungeons & Dragons game with Game Master 5th Edition. This DM tool makes building a campaign easy and takes a lot of the hassle of out of running a game so that you can focus on more important things.

Combat Tracker

Roll initiative, track hit points and conditions, view monster stat blocks, and roll attacks, all in an easy to use interface. No need to flip through the Monster Manual or roll and add up a bunch of dice.You’ll be able to leave your books at home because Game Master has what you’ll need.

Encounter Builder

Quickly put together an encounter, including one with randomly generated enemies. The encounter analyzer calculates the difficulty so that you won’t accidentally TPK the party.

Creature Builder/Scaler

Easily create a new creature or modify an one. Specify a few stats, such as challenge rating, ability scores, hit dice, etc… and the app will auto generate the rest of the numbers and text for you.

DM Screen

The rules reference view lets you quickly look up rules, tables, etc. This view is completely customizable and can even include links to external websites.

Campaign Manager

Split your campaign into adventures, each with their own sets of characters and encounters. Also keep notes and a treasure items that you can send out to your players.

Dice Roller

All of your stats and attacks can be rolled with a tap of a button. Also included is dice calculator that allows you to input a custom roll. Need to roll 1d20 + 6d9 + Constitution modifier? Game Master has what you need.

Compendium

A customizable compendium of content that by default includes all of the races, classes, backgrounds, feats, equipment, spells, and the monsters from the System Reference Document 5.1. This does not contain all of the official content from the books so you'll have to input any missing. To make adding easier, there is an Import feature through which you can type/copy content on your PC then transfer the file into the compendium. Fan made files are also available for download, so search online.

Fight Club Integration

Players using the Fight Club 5th Edition app (available on Android and iOS) can send their characters to you in the form of an importable file so you can quickly include them in any campaign.

Compatibility

This app is designed to be played with D&D 5e, but many elements of it can be used for other tabletop RPGs, such as D&D 3.5e and Pathfinder RPG. And of course, because everything can be completely customized, any homebrewed content is also possible.

Premium Version

The app is free to download, but you are limited creating a single campaign with one adventure and up to three encounters. Upgrading to the premium version with the in-app purchase will remove these restrictions.

Ratings and reviews

I paid for the upgrade. I used this app successfully for five sessions. Then it went nuts. It froze, completely halted my tablet, and caused it to shutdown. After the tablet restarted, I realized the app had completely wiped itself. Not only that, but the backup data was also gone causing me to rebuild my entire campaign. Needless to say, I won't be using this app again.

I'm not sure what's going on but I spent an hour yesterday adding encounters to an adventure and when I opened the app this morning, everything I added was gone. now that i think about it, it's happened a half a dozen times before but it was only a single encounter disappearing so i thought I just had forgotten to hit 'add' at the end. otherwise, the app is fine. would like to be able to add NPCs that have standard Stats, and not monsters.

Amazing. I downloaded it as a way to help manage combat better, just for that it's worth it. But it does so much more. I almost immediately went for the paid version. Both premade and on the fly encounters work great (as long as it's not something you're going to have to manually enter stats, which you can do) just add enemies, check the boxes for players or npcs that are paticipating, and it rolls for, and tracks initiative, rounds, damage, and time elapsed.
