I am about to DM my first game (starting Sunday) and I need to know what are the best downloadable tools or best sites to visit to help make my job easier...
A monster creator stat block generator would really help actually...
Can anyone point me in the direction of tools such as these?
I smile :smallsmile: (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcgen/) :smallconfused: (http://www.penpaperpixel.org/tools/d20encountercalculator.htm) :smallbiggrin: (http://www.monsteradvancer.com/)
EDIT: Maybe I should point out that each smiley is a link, just a thought... :smallwink: (http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=community)

Thanks, Kaww. I'm not of new DM, but I love that monster advancer.

If it's 4E then you have things like Character Builder and Adventure Tools at your disposal, but you need to pay for them.

Lots of extremely useful pdfs.

Monster monograph from here (http://www.superdan.net/dnd3.html) is the OGL monsters in very nice statblock form, if that makes it easier
Kaww's already given you a link to penpaperpixel which is a very useful site
Finally: donjon (http://donjon.bin.sh/) which can be frustrating but has a few useful things!
@ Lev: Me likes this monster generator thingy of yours!

Wow, donjon is absolutely stunning.

The encounter calculator is particularly useful, and I hope this helps you. Remember, a fight with several lower-power creatures is more difficult than one big bad.
What's the campaign theme, story, etc.?

Is me laughing unclear in any manner?
Also FyreByrd mentioned it as well...
