What is Dungeon Manager?
Dungeon Manager is a web-based toolkit for running and playing Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition campaigns. Whether you're a Dungeon Master preparing your next session or a player tracking your character's journey, Dungeon Manager has tools to help.
The Dungeon Manager dashboard — your home screen after logging in.
For Players
As a player, you can:
- Build characters using the guided 7-step wizard — choose your species, class, ability scores, background, equipment, spells, and personal details
- Track your character during play — HP, spell slots, conditions, equipment, and more update in real time
- Level up with the guided level-up wizard when you earn enough XP
- Join campaigns via invite link from your DM
- View live combat — see the battle map, initiative order, and move your token during encounters
- Write journal entries — keep private notes about your adventures
For Dungeon Masters
As a DM, you get everything players get, plus:
- Campaign management — sessions, NPCs, locations, factions, world lore, story arcs, and quests
- Encounter builder — pull monsters from the compendium, auto-calculate difficulty
- Combat tracker — real-time initiative, HP tracking, conditions, death saves, battle maps with tokens
- Session planner — structured prep linking encounters, NPCs, locations, and notes
- World maps — upload maps and place interactive markers linked to your locations
- Custom calendars — track in-game dates with preset or custom calendar systems
- Generators — NPC names, encounter hooks, treasure hoards, taverns, and shops
