THE tool for DMs – Encounter+ Review

If you’ve use VTTs before and are looking for another solution or if you’re looking for a more hybrid VTT/in-person experience, this is the app for you. It has online functionality if you wish to play remotely, but where is really shines is its second screen experience that brings games to life. Whether you’re using static maps or animated maps, it does an incredible job of allowing the DM to manage all of the aspects of combat. But thats not all. It does include a lot of campaign management tools from writing out pages and pages of information, NPC management, maps with pins for certain events, and a robust organization hierarchy. I use it exclusively for all of my DMing needs. There is one thing to keep in mind though and this is no fault of the app itself. Due to WOTC’s licensing agreements with 3rd parties, the only monsters that come with the app are the Basic Rules monsters. That means you have to provide your own maps and add any monsters manually that are not included in the Basic Rules. By far not a deal breaker and out of the developer’s hands. LOVE THIS APP!
