Might as well resurrect this thread too.

********

Art and Stock Images

• fotalia by Adobe Here you can buy images to use in your products. Other DMs Guild users have found some pretty awesome images, such as this image, which was used as a cover piece for The Iron Bastion: Rise of the Blood Watch.

Encounter Levels

• Encounter Level Calculator for 5th Edition

Text Editing

• The Homebrewery Build 5th Edition PDFs/text editor/layout editor. This is fast becoming my favorite means of formatting for creating DMs Guild products. --fixed link

Map Making

• Inkarnate is in Beta Sign Up which means as of now its free And according to the world builders at Onder Librum (via there recent Facebook recommendation) Inkarnate map tools are pretty awesome. --fixed link

Maps Premade

• Commercial Maps by Dyson Logos Note: These maps are free to use! SAMPLE

Monster Creation

• Monster Maker Not Mac compatible.

Miscellaneous / All In One:

• Donjon's 5E Random Generator Treasure, NPCs, Dungeon Maps, etc.
• Reddit Unearthed Arcana community resources If you're using more traditional layout software.

If you encounter any other useful online resources during your internet travels then please post them to this thread and I will update the OP to reflect your addition to the thread. Please let me know if you encounter problems with any of the links, too.

Thank you!


And finally: A tip of the hat to Seethyr over at the Candlekeep.com forums for inspiring me to create this thread.

If you discover any of the links in the OP are broken or don't go where I intended them to, please let me know.

And thanks to everyone who participated in the last version of this thread before the database crash. :hugs:

The Inkarnate link literally tries to put "http://inkarnate is in beta sign up/" into your address bar (only with the spaces replaced by %20s).

I would add to your list of resources AutoREALM for map making. It may not be the best mapping software, but it is free under the GNU General Public License. I thought it worked well for mapping a dungeon I was working on. It can be downloaded at https://sourceforge.net/projects/autorealm/ There are tutorials on youtube.
