Dungeon Master Assistant vol1&2

Post by Adamo »

What do you think of this?
At first glance, I wanted to add it to Encyclopaedia as some early DM editor, but... it looks much more like an EOB editor to me!
The question is, why does it have such a strange name...?

The screen of DM which is redirecting you to that strange thing...

And the editor of ???

That's because it's not categorized right.

It's probably to assist the Dungeon Master-- as in, the Game Master of a Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It has nothing to do with the FTL game.

It looks to me like it helps you convert the Dungeon Master game to a pen and paper D&D campaign setting, so lets you generate comparable items, characters, etc

Quite a novel idea! You can even have a screen and create a dungeon, then have the players stop at a place and swap to a traditional D&D tabletop thingie. Or something

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

well, it`s definitely EOB. Take a look at the screenshot:
- class: cleric, race: human, sex: male, alignment: lawful neutral, second skill: forester
- STR, INT, WIS, DEX, CON, CHA
- ARMOR CLASS: 3/4

Well in a way you are right, because EOTB was based directly on the D&D ruleset.

This assistant seems to convert the DM dungeon, etc to the equivalent ruleset, just like EOTB

Yeah, it's pretty clear this is nothing to do with Dungeon Master (tm), but is for Dungeon Masters for paper-and-pen D&D. First screens says (G)enerate an Encounter, (M)onster Editor, (E) Encounter Editor etc... not at all relevant to DM or EOB in this context.
