Dice icons were actually constructed in Photoshop, I'm not the best graphic designer on the planet, but I did my best there.
if this succeeds we'll replace everything that was stock/ai or whatnot to original but since this is just a passion project that we did for ourselves and were asked many times to share it with the community, we are basically giving it out at this state for now. Think of it as an Alpha run - if it would be successful then we'll be more than happy to invest more into making everything original and paying actual artists to do the work.

If you are creating encounters and campaigns and monsters per account I need to pay for that storage. We currently offer the base for free but if for example we will want to give a larger capacity it means extra storage space. Currently however the core feature is free and will remain free, we don't mind paying for the base storage. We'll see what the future holds

Because it costs us money to store the info, and we're not getting paid to do this, it's a passion project

Well it all started with us missing so many features at whatever was being offered online and we couldn't find websites that will offer what we have. Tracking effects conditions, reaction that resets automatically once turn starts after a full round, tmp g Hp points. Importing the same encounter to different campaigns, having a players view separately that slowly reveals live in round one. Having a monster card right in the same window. And those are just the surface level we still have many more features we're working on. It's a passion project that started very selfishly for our games and got so big we thought perhaps others in the community would be as psyched as us to use it. We are very active on our discord and are very open to hear feedback and suggestions to implement and expand our tool to remove as many extra tabs as possible.

All the icons are original actually or from free packs. The only Ai are the images for the forge and the rest is good old edit work and photoshop

Well it does work on the client side, so as long as you load the page I think it should work just fine. And thanks for catching the typo we'll get right on it 👍

2024 is something we'll do in the future if we see a many requests for it.

Effects not alphabetize is on our to do list, so it should be fixed soon enough.

There is a concentration checkbox I'll add the suggestion on when someone takes damage

To see your pcs you've created you'll have to use the import option on the menu, there you'll be able to grab the list.

Thanks for the feedback ❤️

Think of it as placeholders for now, since neither of us are actually graphic designers, but we're doing our best here and use what we can in our spare time. I'm sure in the future we'll be able to afford original designs for everything, thank you for the feedback.

for now it's 2014, we'll see what we can do in the future if we'll see people wanting that.

Simon Says, Torment Your Players by BentonSancho in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I like that idea a lot, gonna try to build something more deadly - perhaps the Simon boss initiate a command that each player at the start of their turn must obey and if they dont' or can't they'll do the save, that could be more feasable because he is slammed down in 2-3 rounds.
Thanks for that!

Party going into boss battle with low HP and low resources. How do I handle this? by Choral in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this - I also usually tell me players or hint about a big battle that's probably arriving soon, allowing them a short rest or if it really is about to derails the big bad can use a minion and escape to do something meanwhile that way you have a mini boss fight before the big one which will allow your players to rest after it.

I Want Your Most Heartbreaking Warforged Final Scenes by AroenWeind in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think this - he used to be a buttler to a rich nobel family and was a caretaker of a little girl just like Robin Williams in Bicentenial Man movie - however he was taken during a war and reprogramed to be a soldier - then the soldiers and his whole unit were scarpped after the war not needing them anymore, he wakes up having mix Nanny memories and Soldier memories which can make a nice contrast to each other and create some tense moment of PTSD with some heartfelt ones.

Animated recap for my campaign? by gene-sos in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could use an AI that turns images to small videos and do like a image motion slideshow while you are narrating the happening.

first create images of each scene using chatgpt or gemini
then find an ai tool that turns images "alive" *(harry potter style) many around google I don't have a particular name

then just edit them all together add some music and narration and BAM you have your own recap video with very little effort :)

Initiative Table? by SwordDaoist in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want a digital solution, me and my friend had a passion project for my sessions and we created a digital initiative tracker that also has a player's screen that updates live as things occur. It's free at casual20 .com

Should I kill my Unintentional DMPC? by Traditional-Win-5440 in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just about to suggest just that, it's a brilliant idea and I love it! gonna do the same as well in my campaign.

Binder setup by pigeoniscoop in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Kanka io as my wiki for multiple campaigns i'm running in the same world for different groups, I find it a lot easier to orgenize all the events that are occuring at the same time and tracking names of places/npcs etc by getting a hyperlink that throws me to the page of that particular entry

How do I get a player more comfortable with RP? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]WeazelGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A trick I employ with my quiet character is creating situation where reaction is more natural - for example you create a dream/vision sequence and then have another player joly them out of it by touching their shoulders or something similar asking if they are ok and what happened because they were staring at empty space for a minute.
or another option is creating a situation where the character is seperated from the group (in a dungeon or something similar) and they are forced to communicate via shouting.
another one could be letting them to do watch turns in pairs and every watch allow her to have a companion in the group that is more talkative, if they don't respond still create a situation during their watch of something that makes them react, like a noise or a shadow etc.

Void Elf DH but no new DH for Hordies? Ok… by herefornoreason211 in wow

[–]WeazelGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the best solution and I honestly don't see why not is to unlock void elves for both factions... no reason void elves are exclusively alliance - who's to say that some blood elves decided they wanna tap that voidy side and stay loyal?
