Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop

This is an amazing app. It is my go to for just about all of my DM planning, and while running the games. It took me a little bit to learn how the app worked when I first got it, but when I figured it out I ran with it. Other reviewers cover all details as to what features the app has, so I won’t waste time repeating what they say. I will say this though, this app makes planning and running my games massively easier. Before I did everything with a notepad and a calculator, and it slowed the process down. Now the sessions and encounters move quicker, and run much smoother. There are a couple of ways that I can see the app being improved upon though. There being some sort of guide to tell you how to work the basic functions of the app, the list of creatures to be updated instead of having to manually enter them in yourself, and be able to fill out PC stats like you would do with creatures. This all being said I absolutely LOVE this app and I can’t stop recommending it to others who also run games.

I’m a first time DM who’s been playing since AD&D 2nd edition and never really took the plunge to DM my own campaign. I finally decided to do it and found this app which was a game changer. Not only did it help me consolidate my home brew campaign but it allowed me to build my own maps and import them as well as even use photos I took of actual maps from Tactical Maps 5e and use them in my games with fog of war. What’s also amazing is that I can use my large TV as our tabletop more or less and control everything from my phone so that all my players feel fully immersed in the storytelling and world-building. I can’t recommend this app enough to all levels of DM since it puts so much power in the palm of your hand from tracking initiative to tracking XP to organizing all the necessary materials for the adventure in a totally accessible way. Thank you and keep up the great work!! PS The developer is SUPER helpful if anything is needed.

Automatic order tracking, easy to add custom NPCs/Monsters/characters, even add photos! I use this module to set up battles ahead of the session. Even when the party changes my plans: i can easily create a new battle order in just a moment. I have added the characters stats to the battle so i can secretly make rolls for them without them knowing. I can even keep track of their HP in addition to the enemies/NPCs After a using the program for a bit I decided to buy the spells. The spell allow you to click on their name to bring up the spell details, even on custom additions, which saves lot of time looking up spells. If your looking for a replacement for your paper notebook, this is a simple and quick alternative. The one note of improvement is it took a few minutes to understand how the programmed worked. Once I did it works beautifully, but it was a little confusing at first.

I really like this app. My players really enjoy the casting to another screen for ease of tracking movement and enemies and stuff. I just wish I could cast to a chrome cast as well as AppleTV. Also, when can I have a desktop version? I use Arkenforge to create maps themselves and would love to use them together with this app. Maybe y’all can reach out to each other to get your features to combine. Arkenforge makes building maps easy, you make encounters on those maps so slick. I want the best of both worlds in one! I’m on an iPhone and am sure that iPad would be better, but I don’t have the funds for a new device at this time to get the bigger screen size that will make it easier to use your amazing app.

This is by far the best app that every DM should have. I tried DM 5 and Fight Club 5, but this absolutely tops both of those. Great uses for this app: - Tracks Initiative - Tracks damage and HP - Tracks Conditions - Set up laptop on opposite end of your table with the external screen support and it shows the order of initiative with images. Beautiful! (And if you dont have an apple product to stream to like myself, get AirServer. I stream to my windows laptop) - Has all spell descriptions readily available - Has all monster stats, and is designed like the Monster Manual (much better than just the black text on white background) - Does the math for you in calculating encounter difficulty, and also the XP to reward I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING THE EXTERNAL SCREEN SUPPORT AND SPELL SUPPORT. Spell support allows you to just tap on any monster or PC, then tap on the spell like "fireball" and it pulls up that spell.
