Magehand
English
Dungeons & Dragons
Free
Magehand makes DMing easy: it lets a Dungeon Master run their whole adventure from one page. Hover any monster, spell or item in the text for its full stat block or rules, pin the ones the fight needs beside the text, and start any encounter with one click.
It's free, made by one DM for their own table, with no ads and no third-party tracking.
The combat tracker knows the rules, not just the numbers. Magehand encodes the 2024 rules for every class feature, spell, condition and magic item, so the tracker plays them out: it rolls attacks against the right Armor Class and adds up damage with resistances, applies conditions and what they do (a hit on a Paralyzed creature within 5 feet is a Critical Hit), tracks concentration, spell slots, reactions and limited uses, and keeps hit points from one fight to the next. The DM runs the story; Magehand does the bookkeeping.
DMs customize the adventure for their party right in the text: rewrite a scene, add notes, fights and comments, and read remixes inside the book itself, with their design notes where they apply. Between sessions, Magehand speeds up prep with fair fights by the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide, homebrew monsters, a 2024 character builder (with D&D Beyond and Roll20 import), and handouts players open from a private link, no account needed. DMs who use an AI assistant like Claude can connect it to take bookkeeping off their plate.
Magehand supports the 2024 and 2014 rules. DMs bring their own books: an adventure opens only after a quick check that they own it.
