DnDino Guide

Welcome to the official DnDino guide.

DnDino is designed to help the Dungeon Master run and organize:

  • adventures
  • heroes, NPCs, and monsters
  • places and sub-places
  • place occupants
  • combat
  • the live session for players
  • images, maps, and support material
  • rules
  • equipment
  • spells

This guide walks you through the main features of the app, from the basics to the more complete session-time workflows.

Note

The guide is organized by feature area. If you're just getting started, begin with Getting Started, then move on to Heroes, NPCs, and Monsters, Places, and Combat.

What You Can Do with DnDino

With DnDino you can:

  • create and manage heroes, NPCs, and monsters
  • organize places in a tree structure or through interactive maps
  • link occupants and images to places
  • prepare combat before the encounter begins
  • manage rounds, damage, healing, conditions, and DM notes during combat
  • use a second screen to show players images, animations, and summaries through the Players Window

Main Sections

Home Page

The Home Page is the main entry point of the app. From here you can reach all the major sections quickly. It also highlights your most recently opened adventure.

Adventures

The Adventures section contains all the adventures you have created. From here you can create new ones or reopen existing campaigns. It is the main creative hub where your campaign takes shape.

Heroes, NPCs, and Monsters

This is where you manage the core creature records and their related information:

  • creation
  • editing
  • images
  • spells

Rules

The Rules section collects the game references you want close at hand during play. Instead of copying an entire rulebook, you can keep only the material you actually need. The same area also includes Feats, so you can store the options that matter most to your table.

Name Generator

The Name Generator lets you quickly create names by ancestry and gender, so you're never caught unprepared when the party starts questioning every passerby or veers away from what you planned.

Settings

Use this section to configure the app's behavior, layout, and preferences.

Practical Guides

This area gathers concrete usage examples to help you understand the most important workflows in the app.
