Just in case any new or aspiring DM's follow me, I wanted to make a thread with useful DM tools I use.

If I can get just one person to try DM'ing, then it was all worth it.

First up, Ability Checks. When you should use them and a guide on how to use them #DnD #DMtips #ttrpg Image
These are the rest of the ability checks you may encounter. #DnD #DMtips Image
Never ran combat before? Here is your step by step guide to get you started along with the breakdown on what a player can do on a turn. #DnD #DMtips Image
When running combat I recommend having a few of these printed up so you can keep track of initiative, HP of monsters, along with any conditions the players or NPC's currently have. #DnD #DMtips Image
This sheet is great and you will get a lot of use out it. There is a breakdown of the individuals conditions along with information on short/long rests and other important aspects regarding travelling. #DnD #DMtips Image
This is a good tool if you are tracking XP. Even if you are not tracking XP, the random encounter table is a great reference to know how often you should be rolling encounters in various environments. #DnD #DMtips Image
Weapons and Armor will be plentiful in your world most likely, so here is a breakdown of what things may cost and basic stats for the most common items and services. #DnD #DMtips Image
Not everyone does voices (especially at first!) but if you decide to dip your toe into the voice arena, here is a random chart that can help when your party starts chatting up every non developed character they meet. #DnD #DMtips Image
General Advice: The rules are guidelines so you don't need to know them all at first. Improv will end up being your best tool and the only way to get better is to practice!
Don't worry about planning too far ahead, one session at a time until it gets easier. #DnD #DMtips
Finally: The best sessions I have had is when the party went totally off script, so roll with the punches and enjoy yourself. This shouldn't feel like a job or homework, do the things you enjoy and your skill will grow as time goes on. Good luck on the path. #DnD #DMtips

I would love to see other peoples builds that they played on. From drawings on graph paper to intricate 3D builds to online maps they built. Share your games below! #DnD #ttrpg #pathfinder
My first map I drew for my first DM session. This was when Mines of Phandelver came out. #DnD #ttrpg
Then I moved to using the Dungeon Tiles for a while and started getting minis. This was when the campaign shifted to Storm Kings Thunder after MoP. #DnD #ttrpg
