    Default First time DM requires tools

    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

    EDIT: Maybe I should point out that each smiley is a link, just a thought...

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

    Monster monograph from here 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 which can be frustrating but has a few useful things!

    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.?
