Next up is an update of the quests generator to include 5E elements.

The Quests of the 5E Prep Tool has been updated to use the 5E D&D Quests generator, which takes Level_Range into account for reward, quest-giver and possible monster type.

The settlements for the 5E Prep Tool now use the 5E Quick Settlement, which is affected by the chosen terrain.

This tool gets better and better! 8D Thanks!!

The only thing I don't get is how to use the 5 Room Dungeon. Most Rooms are way to vague to use it on the spot. Any tips on that?

Thanks for the support!

Hmm first thing to check out on 5-Room Dungeon is the description at 1d4chan.

But I'll admit it's hard to use as I've had a similar problem when using the gen with 5-room dungeons. I was thinking of creating a few templates or adding more detail specific to 5E / fantasy.

Are there any areas you find harder to use than others? Or anything that works well with the 5-room dungeon?

Everything else clicks wonderfully for me and is a great source of inspiration! 8D

I'm usually quite good and incorparating stuff on the fly, but 5-room dungeons doesn't, because it relies heavily on riddles and puzzels, which I am terrible at.

An Epic Tier (Level 17+) has now been added, with a terrain-neutral list of encounters for that level.
Not sure how useful that is but I added it for the sake of completeness.

That takes the tiers to Low (1-3), Medium (5-10), High (11-16), Epic (17+)

If I did another version I might look at what would be useful at the different tiers!
