And of course, as with each video, you’re getting a freebie! This month, it’s BattleSim, a web app which simulates D&D combat to quickly give you a good idea of how long your encounter will take, and how many hit points and resources your players are likely to expend: https://battlesim-zeta.vercel.app/

The video got a lot of feedback, so I was also able to give the simulator a quick update a week later:

Until next time, have a good time!
