DM tool to save and load events: DaBEST

Unread post by Xorena »

Dungeon masters:

Server stability got you down? Would you prefer to set up and save your event, then load it a day, a week -- or even a year later?

Enter DaBEST: The DataBase Event Saving Tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fFksBk ... sp=sharing

Make the best use of limited DM time by allowing them to save events and load them later.

Read more about it at the above link. The project is on the vault.

Currently in active use on at least three servers. I can answer questions if you have them. My husband created the tool and I helped write the documentation.

It occurs to me that this would be a great way to train newbie DMs also. Have an experienced DM create the event. Then have the DM trainee load the event and run it from there. I've never been a DM before so I can't be completely certain this would be better than the current system.
