Game Master 5th Edition Overview
What is Game Master 5th Edition? Game Master 5th Edition is a DM tool for Dungeons & Dragons that simplifies campaign building and game management. It includes a combat tracker, encounter builder, creature builder/scaler, DM screen, campaign manager, dice roller, and customizable compendium. The app is compatible with D&D 5e and other tabletop RPGs, and a premium version is available for purchase to remove limitations.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Players using the Fight Club 5th Edition app can send their characters to you in the form of an importable file so you can quickly include them in any campaign.
4. Roll initiative, track hit points and conditions, view monster stat blocks, and roll attacks, all in an easy to use interface.
5. 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.
6. Need to roll 1d20 + 6d9 + Constitution modifier? Game Master has what you need.
7. 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.
8. The app is free to download, but you are limited creating a single campaign with one adventure and up to three encounters.
9. Also included is dice calculator that allows you to input a custom roll.
10. 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.
11. Take command of your Dungeons & Dragons game with Game Master 5th Edition.

Glad to see the PC port
I've been waiting for this PC app for months, ever since Microsoft announced Catalyst. So glad Lion's Den produced it. This (combined with Fight Club) are the perfect tools for DMs and Players. I've used the iOS version for several months and have seen how they keep improving it, and allow for your customizations. Thanks! Note: in my practice, using multiple devices with this tool, I make one device the Source of Truth for characters, campaigns, and compendiums (FC and GM). I then export those files to iCloud Drive (Dropbox etc. work just as well), where I can import them to my other devices.
Amazing app
I absolutely love this app. It has created a far more seemless rollout of my encounters and allows me to concentrate on world building for the PC's. It organizes initiatives and keeps track of player stats as well. I have noticed that while adding encounters on my Windows the app freezes so ive taken to making my encounters on my phone and syncing the app to my Windows. Its not ideal but this is the best, most intuitive app ive seen that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to buy.
So nice to have on desktop
I've been running my campaign off an iphone/ipad for a while now, and having a desktop app makes prep much faster.
Great concept horrible bestiary
This is not a modern app. The compendium is almost unusable unless you already know what you are looking for. Take the example of the Bestiary: * All you get is a text search. No filters, no sorting. * The bestiary will only open as a floating window with no option to expand it so that you have more area to work with. * The entire Compendium view is only 600px wide. On an iPad in landscape view it's less than a quarter of the available screen real estate. * The constrained bestiary view is it self *further* partitioned into a list and detail view. As a result, the Bestiary's list of creatures, one of the most important lists imaginable when creating encounters, is only 250px WIDE!!! By all means use this app for free, but don't pay any money for it. It's not tenable as a creative tool for designing encounters.
love the app!
I had some issues at first getting my save from my phone to my computer but everything works great now!
