30 (or 1,030) Essential New D&D 5E Fan Resources!

It's time for another pile of fan-created D&D 5E resources where I scour the web so you don't have to! This time we have a pile of random generators, 9 new 5E character sheets, a series of articles on Monster Building, a suite of online DM tools, and 1,000 1st level characters. The fan community has not slowed down - that's a lot of stuff!

• 3 New generators! Folks have been using EN World's inbuilt O.G.R.E. random generator creator to make various 5E generators. Check out these: D&D 5E Treasure Generator, D&D 5E NPC Generator, Settlements Generator 0.1.0.
• 3 Older generators. Well worth a reminder. Mundane Treasure Generator, Fantasy Library Generator, Tavern Creator.
• 9 New Character Sheets: 5th Edition "Mash-up" character sheet, DnD 5ed Auto-calculating Fillable Character Sheet based on Dragon's Lair Design, Custom Landscape DnD 5 static sheet, 5th Ed Fully Loaded Character Sheet (single sheet), Character sheet with DMG variants, Auto-filling/calculating/PRINTABLE D&D 5e Character Sheet, Warlock Spellsheet, Updated Simple D&D 5th Sheet - Version 4, Old School 5e Character.
• 1,000 Characters: 1,000 pregenerated 1st-level D&D 5E characters. Yes. 1,000. Link is to a PDF.
• 10 Monster Creation Articles: Surf Archer has posted part 10 of his D&D 5E monster analysis. This part deals with CR Evaluation. This series is quite astonishing and well worth the read. So much so, that I feel it's worth reiterating the whole series. Warning: mathematics and graphs!
  • Part 9: Attack Bonus
  • Part 8: Actions
  • Part 7: Damage
  • Part 6: Traits & Spellcasting
  • Part 5: AC & Other Attributes
  • Part 4: Ability Scores & HP
  • Part 3: CR & Size
  • Part 2: Before Building
  • Part 1: Starter Set Monsters
• Harbinger of Doom has an Investigator archetype for rogues.
• MerricB reviews a 5E-compatible adventure called Revelry in Torth. "Weird, weird product. Mostly badly written, with a lot of really dodgy OSR mechanics, which don't really fit any version of D&D that well - and 5E almost not at all - but there are some really good ideas in it. Probably too expensive at $10, though."
• Here's an awesome set of D&D 5E DM Tools. Encounter Difficulty Calculator, Treasure Generator, NPC Generator... and a whole load more.
• Fey Bloodline is a sorcerous origin.
• Remember I mentioned some fan art of monsters from the D&D Basic PDF? There's more! Click on the image below!

I created the "D&D 5E DM Tools" that you refer to. I have also added some tools for players, including a "PC personality generator", and a "PC attribute point-buy calculator".

Enjoy!

Leugren, I owe you probably more than I care to admit. I somehow found your tools years ago when 5e launched and have used them, particularly the monster CR calculator, for EVERY single game I've run. I make my own monsters and your tools are indispensable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
