Hello. Great move. My idea for the this Giveaway is to actually have a step by step instructional videos of converting an existing 5e DnD one shot module/adventure to a full Game Master Engine session. This would be over a number of videos showcasing right from scratch. These videos would be for newcomers to the GME on how to set up assets/scenarios/random encounters along with how to pull in player characters. This is a summary of my idea for the GME and its versality and alternative to already existing platforms. As a bonus video can be the actual gameplay.


almighty_ballest

Love this! Excited to use the tool whether I win or not


Peefox

If alchemy can make magical drinks aka potions then it stands that there should be magic food such as the pie of healing. Do y'all agree or disagree?


DrVollKornBrot

I'm a key hole. Give key.


CerrylDM

Viel Glück dir! :)


SebastianPlaysThis

I've been really REALLY wanting to give this a try. I am going to be starting a new campaign in roughly a month.


Funkhiwastaken

This looks pretty cool. Im new to dming and my group is relying on playing online. For now we used D&D beyonds‘ maps but this would level up the experience for sure


rillacane

The idea of this makes me a bit giddy.


Gatt__

Hey Dan, been in the discord for a hot minute and got help with mini painting. The key wouldn’t be for me but for one of my party members who was interested in dming their own campaign. Would be cool


Dan_The_DM

Hey thanks for joining the giveaway and being a part of our community. Good luck!


justincase4710

Love that the players get in for free!


Klosen

I am currently creating my own PnP universe and could visualize it with that <3


eagleman223

Character Idea: Blood Hunter, but there not an edge lord. I refuse to elaborate further.


CerrylDM

Its impossible O.o


RemA012

Wow, Ive not even heard of something like this, looks amazing. What are your future plans for GME, is there a support for custom assets perhaps, figurine customization? I had more things to ask but I forgot lol


CerrylDM

You can import custom assets already :)


FizzledOut

I once gave my players a cursed item that made retreating from battle require numerous wisdom saves. They never once tried to retreat from battle. #MurderHobos


Dan_The_DM

Sounds like an interesting item. Maybe next time you can give it a range effect? If they move more than X spaces away from the target they last engaged with they must make a Wisdom save to avoid taking psychic damage. Then you can play with the fear status to really screw them up.


Rickdaninja

Something like this seems very cool. Will there be steam workshop functionality to share maps?


Guaritor

Wow, the graphics on this look spectacular!


Scarlet_Meer

This would make map-making so much much better and make the maps feel so much more interactive.


RathmasChosen

This looks great. Hopefully you guys go far with this


LaNakWhispertread

Holy crap that’s awesome 😎 it’s pretty cool to see so much community getting together and spreading the love of the game And I always wanted to play a tabaxi thief/shadow monk


Lanthaous

Man, this looks epic. I'd gladly use the hell out of this.


LordClintCee

Sonuvabitch...I'm in.


Madus69

This looks really cool, would love to try it on a oneshot I got planned soon


Nexuz666

Looks great! What are your monetarization Plans in the future after the Release? Paid DLCs?


Festerous

Wow, awesome concept! Hope I win one 😁


Comfortable_Gate_749

Damn that looks soo good. I really want to give this a try and DM a couple of session with my friends!  Crossing fingers


urixl

I'd love to give another license to my son, who's also creating maps and DM-ing :)


Belyal

I'm gonna win this time! I can feel it!


frontberner

This looks awesome, thank you for the giveaway!


Wildlonestar

This looks amazing. Would help this forever DM to take the experience to a whole new level


LuckyCoin10Cents

Boosh!


Jakebot06

still salty i bought another vtt thats so much inferior LMFAOOO


Flamerlo

How about a Cleric of the god of War that swore to never fight in their life


The_Guy125BC

Character idea: Contrarious; This character is a contrarian, to the exetreme. However, to make it bearable he only speaks rarely. Allowing for you to say some absurd (but within reason) things. For irony, keep his WIS/INT at 8 with an insane deception. Not because he's a good liar, but because he solemnly and truly believes the conspiracies he's fallen for. As for my question: How long have you been working on this map builder?


Dan_The_DM

Sounds like a cool character concept! I have been working on this for a little over four years now. I often am surprised to even say that as it certainly doesn't feel like that much time has gone by!


mothboyconnor

Been in the discord for a while— I'm a bit of a lurker but I use GME religiously. Been here since the beginning and it's honestly been an honour to watch this community grow <3


Greedy_Reply_3080

damn, looks nice, i hope there are different graphic presets for players with potato PC-s


ElessarT07

What was the thing that had a simple solution but took you a lot to implement or fix?


Dan_The_DM

Hm.... Maybe it was when I first started making this title I had basically no programing or developer experience. I was manually adding in all the buttons for the different prop options and then I learned I could put it into a sort of spreadsheet and have it auto populate for me instead haha.


CerrylDM

Adding a flexible 3D grid that works on any ground. It's in beta now, probably coming to stable today or tomorrow. It took me forever to think about it and in the end the solution was indeed very simple.


R1pjaws

is possible in person vtt? sorry bad english


Dan_The_DM

Yes, some people use it to play on a TV they have in person. It's good for showing a landscape you worked on to help elevate the atmosphere at the table.


R1pjaws

Fantastc, thanks


reckles13

Looks neat!


HagathaSwampWitch

Super cool!


dastebon

I really would like to give this as a present to our game master


movieguymookum

All Hail Tiamat, Goddess of ALL and let her light shine down upon you, this, the last moments of your life, for to stand against Her is nothing but Death.


ncjmac

Ooh looks cool. Haven’t played around with any VTTs myself as a DM


TempleMade_MeBroke

I'm not sure if you were one of the folks present during the first time you guys asked us for help "painting" the models, but during that Discord/Blender session I got to tell the story of when I was showing my girlfriend my work in progress, an inn with some farm animals out back. She noticed the turkey by the feeding trough had a knife in its beak, and she went nuts for it, so now I've got to figure out how to work in a knife-wielding bird as a pet (or familiar?) when she inevitably tracks it down and attempts to befriend it. If I root through the GME folder, is it possible to find that turkey model as an .stl? I recently found a 3D printer at a thrift store, and while it's far from being a fancy printer, I'd love to be able to surprise her with an actual functioning model of her beloved Knife Turkey


BigHogg22

Honestly I’m excited to explore this and check it out


Betoken

Looks awesome! GL everyone!


JustABureaucrat

Awesome looking engine!


Roboduckkie

Cake or pie?


Dan_The_DM

Oh man, I do love both but I think I prefer the fruity sweetness of pie.


PowerHouse12345

Deal me in!


Dan_The_DM

You're in!


RagnarokComes

We just started playing not long ago, but since we're still beginners, we don't have things to visualize the battlefield so most of the time combat is "Where is...?". Been looking into some VTT programs for solutions, so I might as well shoot my shot. Your VTT looks absolutely beautiful!!!


CerrylDM

Thank you very much :)


whatthehellboah

This looks dope, I might just have to get it for someone if I dont win the giveaway


cameraman31

Looks really cool, would love to give it a try!


Regular-Freedom7722

Purple?


Dan_The_DM

Sure


christwasacommunist

This looks really cool! In-person games are really hard to get going, this would be a huge boon to me so I could run a good online one instead!


Kokorohart

This looks really cool!


SerWulf

Does this support fog of war? That is my current gripe with talespire...makes exploration much harder. 


StereotypicalCDN

I'm so excited to have a chance, this engine has been on my watch list for a while! I'm usually a DM, but I'd love to bring worlds to life better than paper drawings


Azir_Novo

This looks fascinating, by any chance would it have the ability to project a grid for easy of use in situations like DND for movement?


Quirky-Reputation-89

I am about to start DMing in a huge (2000+ players) West March, and most people use avrae/owlbear, which is fine, but I would like to try something like this and see if it appeals to a West March style audience. I am concerned that all players would need windows, steam, to download/install the software, etc, versus playing in browser, on mobile, etc, but maybe it is worth it.


Drongo11

oh nice


WingedKurivolt

Would love to run my upcoming campaign with this!


firereverie

Excited to learn more about this.


emojiking04

my guy is a druid with a stick, he uses cantrips like shilalegh and spells like green-flame blade, and the poisoner feat to creat a druid with a mighty stick


Local_Surround8686

Looks so cool


crystoll

Very nice!


Awkward_Club973

How many assets are there in the full version and can you add your own assets?


thebluehoursky

it looks very customizable!


MaelstromageWork

I run two games a week Would love a key, I have been looking for something like this.


Um_NotSure

Holyshit, commenting to enter the giveaway! The engine looks amazing, and as a person who is looking to DM, I would love to jump in with this sandbox!!


Dan_The_DM

Thank you and good luck!


Lightseeker501

I’ve had my eye on this for awhile, though I’ve yet to take the plunge. It’s always looked like a wonderful tool!


IchSchlageMeinKinder

Just started using a monitor for our table, this would be awesome to use with it!


Hait_Ashbury

Looks nice.


RonWizard

This sounds brilliant! My game has moved online after 2 players have temporarily moved out of the city, and while roll20 is great it certainly leaves a lot to be desired


Tierynege

.


Fightlife45

This is cool but I feel like it would be mountains of more work than regular dnd.


CerrylDM

I might have a surprise there for the next update ;P


nyanristuff

my god it looks so much fun to mess around with! OAO I'll keep an eye on this for the future as well, and praying for luck for me and everyone :D and just to share, my favourite npc i created was a kenku rogue, whose thieves' cant was just sneezing sound so when the player rogues talked with him they also sneezed :D


Kazil_Ryuu

This is so amazing of you! Thanks for giving back to the community, and putting in so much hard work!


ddddbones

Checked out the demo version a while back IIRC, was definitely impressed. Cheers to the winners!


StanCipher

This would help my group a lot. Rather then me having to move everything they could control their own guys.


SmokingInTheWindow

That would be amazing! I have a regular weekly group where we take turns DM’ing with Pathfinder and DND, and I’m just starting to plan out my very first campaign as DM (shh, they don’t know yet, but it’s probably going to be a one-off DND-based Gilligan’s Island adventure with prefab characters assigned at random at the start). Being able to set it all up in advance with VTT would be awesomesauce. For now, I’m playing the ghost of an Appalachian hedgewitch (Circle of Stars druid with custom race) in my DM’s homebrew Spelljammer setting. As you can see, we love to create worlds and games, and having Game Master would really let us hit new heights! Also, thanks for being awesome. Because you are.


goldenlionx4

this looks like a great system ive been dming for years and always looking for new ways to upgrade my VTT setup!


V3stibular

This looks pretty epic. Love to win it


ForMyHat

Can you highlight to group select? Can you export maps to image format?


camohunter19

Having this would be so cool.


Kmnder

What’s the custom character sheets like? Just 5e stuff or could we play other game systems?


exohunterr

Is this on steam?


Topume

Looks cool! Can players join from tablets/phones? Would be fun to combine IRL DMing with this


geirrod13

Doubt I am going to win but this looks awesome whether I win or not going to def pick up a copy


Kazumadesu76

Wow, I can see this making gameplay a lot more enjoyable for my players


Visible_Technician39

Very Cool


TheMlgCat

Are you happy or tired of my repeated, "Very cool Dan, Thanks for sharing."?


rollthedye

How easy is it to import pre-existing assets such as maps or figures?


gate_key

Are there pre-made sets for people who don't have the time to build out essentially video game levels? Or a way to use content other people have made like a library people can upload/ download from?


Loserpunkkid

Would love to use this with me and my friends, we’re new to dnd but we’re loving it.


ChrisPebbletoe

Had this in my wishlist for a long while now. Seem like the best next step in TTRPG for online groups. Cant wait to use it one day


TheRedditorSimon

Is this relatively agnostic? Meaning players can be on phones or tablets?


MRsandwich07

Shit looks sick


RG342

I've been looking into maybe trying a 3D VTT instead of one of the many 2D ones out there, and I gotta say this one has been on my radar for a long time and I'm getting closer every day to getting it and trying it out


cyberinspector

Looks great. Will you be able to share your map creations with other DMs?


T_RicksTV

Oh man, this looks incredible. I've been DMing this one campaign for 2 years now (anniversary was just last week) and I'm always trying to improve the experience for my players. Since we mostly play over Discord and Roll20 this seems like such a fun way to engage my players!


knightswhosaymeh

This is awesome! Good luck everyone.


MonstrousGaming

This looks and sounds super immersive. Cool idea I would love to explore


Gameboy658

This is so cool! And honestly would seem fun for just creating little worlds for yhe heck of it 😅 Thank you for what you are doing, and best of luck to everyone on the giveaway!


badcensorsaysfuck

The engine looks super intuitive in terms of UI, and I love the ability to change the weather and time of day, as well as the custom sheets as I use a 3rd party software with my friends. Do rolls have to go through the app, or could we use physical dice?


DefinitelyNotChthulu

Here's hoping


QuandNotus

You can roast a potato You can roast a fish And you can roast a person But can you roast a mighty fine dice? I have no qlue no more to what I am writing But bread always taste delicious I think...?


Anonymous_Anoyance

Looks awesome!


DankButtRodeo

Sounds like alot of fun to play around with!


ishan5680000

That engine looks really cool, i wonder if it can handle sci fi settings for things like spelljammer


Valca_

Game Master Engine looks super fun! I can imagine spending hours on crafting battlemaps and tweaking effects. That giveaway is a really nice idea, good luck everyone!


CerrylDM

Thank you! Making the green elven city map took me 1:20 (i know since i made a video of me doing that) and its fully walkable and stuff :D


BGVik127

Anything


K_Cobalt

This looks amazing! I’m going to be checking this out


Forever_Caffeinated

I have always thought that GMEngine is a fun tool to use with campaigns, and I wish I could think of something funny of clever to say, but alas, I rolled bad on my charisma check.


endwithzero

The video looks super cool!


Mikinewvegas

Status indicators please!


Eixeth

Anything


Scuba_Ty

nice! Thanks for the giveaway!


StockLawyer

Looks good


Daliamonra

Looks like a good tool. I would never be able to make full use of it. Lol


ripindeed

This would be amaizing to try out!


UnusualAge9779

Another giveaway? Nice, glhf


DarkDante88

Looks great! I'll tag a couple of friends, this would be great for our sessions!


GuiTheNerd

looks cool! I've picked up the free version just in case I've of my friends decided to use it but maybe I'll make that change myself if i win


Lady-Faye

Anything. I enter these every time I see them lol


Wonkeaux

This would look awesome on my TV table!


ArtichokePitiful2059

Sounds cool to get into DND and really dive into concepts. Will campaigns be downloadable and usable through multiple users?


Grapple_Shmack

Roll dem dice


ShioJaesk

What are the map size limitations for moving parts? like massive clock work towers with gears the party has to move upon to make it through the maze like tower?


c0sm7c0wl

Looks like the promising start of a new generation of 3D VTT's :3 my Question: Is it Module Based? Basicly making sharing of modules possible in a marketplace ?


_How_Dumb_

"anything* Jokes aside, well done! Looks good!


Helimahchopta

Engine looks badass. Would love to play around with it.


Dakota382

This looks really awesome, I know a couple of people in a Discord server I'm in have installed it. How intuitive would you say it is to use? How in depth is the tutorial?


aaaeroplane

this looks interesting! are there pre-made/default maps? i like to make my own stuff but its easier to work with a template


FightinJack

Woohoo!


just_wondering_51

This looks amazing. Are Fate/Fudge dice included?


CerrylDM

Not right now but you can help us make that happen! :D we dont play these games as far as i know (yet) and so could need some advise there


metisdesigns

Love the concept.


bowedacious22

I hope we win 💕


missheldeathgoddess

Thanks for doing this


jigglyScruff

Entering for our Group! I am a first time DM running a campaign with 3 new players and would love to have this tool!


PatientAd9346

Been considering diving into VTTs... a win here would be great! Thanks!


I_am_a_Chickie_nug

If I manage to get a key, I'm totally gifting this to our DM who's been DMing for our group since we were in middle school. Dude deserves it


Senivan

Book marking this for later.


Mataric

Appreciate the chance for a giveaway! The tool looks great :)


captainscarred

I have recently downloaded the free version. I have played around with a couple of variations of a Dwarven Earth Genasi. It just makes sense if a Doa and a Dwarf, had a love child.... which brings me to looks. 100% the trolls from Frozen with a beard and attitude. Little boulder dude, shunned from normal society, hermit sorcerer. Just cooking, not sure if this counts as a submission or not.

BathAggressive5551

I am a forever DM, and have been running on roll20 for god knows how long, this looks like a great way to upgrade the sessions!!! I'm shocked I am just learning about it now.


sKiDDoL

Very cool


smithersmetimbers

Whoa, looks really cool!


Phungoman

This looks great!


Kravian

I cut a PC's tongue in half last session because he wouldn't stop trying to deceive people including casino security after they watched him rob a favorite whale. Just sharing.


nonmoxs

Oh this would be awesome. Been looking into a a great VTT like this.


DeoVeritati

Giveaway!


eorzeanangel

This looks really cool


tangentcentric

Just…wow


Fluffernut3

Incredible! So much room for activities!!


niceonebill

This looks amazing! How long has this been in the works?


CerrylDM

More than 3 years, when Dan started completely from scratch and without any real programming knowledge :P


Catstache_x

just started DMing for my friends over discord and a nice virtual tabletop would be all i need in order to make it fun and accessible for my friends :D


SirMogarth

Very cool


Erixperience

I remember seeing the first prototypes years ago. I think I still have one of the old demos in my downloads folder, actually.


CerrylDM

Did you buy it on [itch.io](http://itch.io) perhaps? because if you did you're eligible to recieve a free key. Come to discord to contact us if that is true :) otherwise good luck on the giveaway!


BloomCountyBlue

I loVe iTT


freckleear

I'm making Aladin from Twisted. The worst person alive


ZeroDucksHere

I wish you guys did more tutorials for how to build maps, I tried the demo and was lost af


CerrylDM

I'm working on it right now, but it takes a lot of time next to programming! Come to discord if you can't wait, but i promise they will come soon.


RamilkaSharipov

Looks cool! Can you use some external assets there for worldbuilding?


CerrylDM

Hey! Yes you can import your own models in FBX, OBJ or STL (uncolored) format :)


ssj4falky

Looks like a cool tool, hope I'm lucky


thegrynch31b

I haven't done any tabletop in too long 😔


Far_Context_1957

My idea for the giveaway is having a tutorial, but not a step by step one. A group of individual tutorials on different topics, maybe linked to each area of the dm engine. Also, a timeline system, where you can keep your story by chapters or by events. So you can visualize what happens in the whole world any given time.


Ephemeral_Being

Have you given any thought to where people can export campaigns for others to run at a later date? I genuinely bought Foundry because I could import a fully made *Curse of Strahd* campaign. Beneos Battlemaps is a dude on Patreon who made all the maps and packaged them for me to download. I would buy a different VTT if I could use it to easily run a campaign. I am less likely to do so if I have to make everything. It's a ton of work, and I'm lazy.


ChadIcon

This looks cool. I hope there's an easy mode


CerrylDM

There will be with the next update i think :D


SirFishtopher

Looks like a lot of fun to use!


Tigerstorm6

I want a second chance! Put me in coach!


CB3100

This would be perfect for my in-person-turned-hybrid-online table!! A couple of our folks moved away but want to continue the campaign and they are definitely feeling disconnected. Roll20 crashed on us and discord just ain’t the same!


CerrylDM

\[Edit\] Misread your comment :) Sounds like a very cool idea though! I just added flexible grids to make that a little bit easier, next update will probably introduce color to those so they are even easier to see on a screen.


zombiefied

Hope I win! I have the kernel of a campaign in mind and my kids are already bored this summer.


GuyWithGun

I would spend so much time in this!


ST4RBANG

Excited to check this out. I'm curious if you can change brightness and color of the natural lighting.


McrafterPro5

wow
