Easily publish your campaign or export as a PDF to upload to DMsGuild. Markdown has a bit of a learning curve, but the starting guide has all you need to know. The Homebrewery uses markdown, which is a system of formatting plain text. This is a browser-based tool that uses the official fonts and assets (such as stat blocks and tables) from the books, and all you need to do is plug in your own content. If you want to make your module look like the official campaigns from Wizards of the Coast, the Homebrewery is for you. Here are some of my personal favorites that I’ve used for all of my modules. Luckily, the RPG community has created a multitude of free resources to aid in your storytelling. Creating maps, designing cover art, and formatting your story doesn’t have to require a team of experts. Not only do you need to craft a story that resonates with different types of players, but you also need to design a module that is easy to access and compelling to read.

If you're looking to a neat way build your next death labyrinth or just want to throw some lovely blocks together, however, D&D Map Sketcher can be played in your browser for free over on Itch.io.Writing your first campaign can be daunting. Marqués also plans to eventually let you export maps as 3D models, making this potentially a really interesting option for prototyping gamedev levels. Of course, you'll still need some kind of dice-roller and voice tool to actually run your adventures.

A server browser lets you invite friends for a proper game of D&D, tokens and all, letting you quickly bash together scenarios for your weekly group. While I doubt we'll see the kind of incredible constructions that came out of Townscaper from Map Sketcher, the latter does at least promise a degree of playability. Of course, these hallways are a lot less vibrant than Stålberg's procedural seasides, but there's a charm to Sketcher's almost architectural layouts - like I'm working at some kind of goblin construction firm, perfecting the blueprints for the dark lord's evil lair. It can be a little fiddly at first, but within minutes I was bashing out multi-tiered sprawls deserving of any Skyrim contender. By adding a little 'plop' animation to tile placement, Map Sketcher gains an almost Townscaper-like quality that makes sculpting these dungeons an absolute joy. Marqués' tool has actually been out in open beta for over a month, but it's today's update that really caught my eye. D&D Map Sketcher might not give its dungeons quirky Swedish nicknames, but Daniel Fernández Marqués' do-it-yourself dungeons have already won me over - offering a delightful free browser toy with ambitions to have a place in every TTRPG group's toolbox. If evil lairs came in flat-packed boxes, they'd probably look a lot like this.
