D&D General What Product Do You Wish They Sold For D&D

[Reynard]

Not necessarily a book (although it could be).

What product would you really love to have for your D&D games that doesn't exist? It can be realistic or pie in the sky.

I want a PACK -- Procedural Adventure Construction Kit. I want an app that allows me to input preferences, player character information, and other information that then spits out a procedurally generated adventure. I want to be able to flip some switches and check some boxes to direct the generation, and I want it to be persistent: it should remember what kinds of adventures it has produced and even where they took place on the region map. I would want to be able to give it feedback and even indicate if an NPC or villain or whatever survived (so they might show up again in a future adventure).

I ant this so much I have worked on the idea off and on for years trying to create tables that would do this (I don't know wanything about programming). It seems possible, but daunting.

What do you wish they made for D&D?

That's a really great idea.

What about a West Marches Style Scheduling app? Players would use it to propose adventure ideas and take attendance for West Marches Style Games, then it would alert the GM when enough players have voted on a certain goal and date.

Small cost fillable-PDFs of playbook for each class + archetype with a huge place given to the characters personality/ideal/flaws and XGtE optional class flavor tables etc. A little like Dungeon World's.

Say you want to play a beast master ranger. You buy a PDF formatted with every necessary features for that character. You'd just have to input races features and print it.

It would list all possible actions, all features, expendable resources, etc

So... How is this different from making a character on D&D Beyond, and exporting as PDF?

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

So... D&D Beyond kind of gives you this, for free...

yup, but the idea was for people who still play pen & paper.

Like that:

Class Character Sheets - The Bundle - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

Class Character Sheets - The Bundle - Now includes fully editable character sheets for ultimate customisation and translation! The Bundle Built specifically

www.dmsguild.com

or

Gale Force 9 Wizard Token Set, Multicolor, Accessories - Amazon Canada

Gale Force 9 Wizard Token Set, Multicolor in Accessories.

www.amazon.ca

but with the archetypes already filled.

Actual new Monster Manuals and Player Handbooks.

Miss me with this something for everybody in every book business.

I put books in a backpack. Compilations are good.

Sorry, I updated - you can export and print a D&D Beyond character on paper. So, how is this different?

Like in this character sheet:

All features for every level of the base class at once.

My ideal product would give more space for the Ideal/bond/flaw and have the archetypes already filled in also. Maybe in a nice folio?

It may be niche, but its what I'd like to have for my players.

The character sheets you can export from DDB don't have all the text for all features and traits.
