The Lazy DM's Workbook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The Lazy DM’s Workbook contains a wide range of tools, maps, and reference sheets to help you run your fifth edition fantasy roleplaying game—and is designed to be useful right at the table. This book contains numerous fifth edition rules references, guides, and random generators to help fire up your imagination as you prepare and run your games.

The workbook also contains ten lazy lairs: full-color maps and quick descriptions of locations common to most fantasy roleplaying games. When the characters take a game session in a direction you didn’t expect, you can use any of these lairs with minimal prep time, running it straight out of the book. This purchase gives you both the workbook in PDF and a zip file of all of the maps formatted for use in virtual tabletops.

The Lazy DM’s Workbook is an indispensable reference, designed to be kept at your side as tales of high adventure unfold at your gaming table.

I'd love to print this and work with it off-screen, but the background kills my ink.
Any chance for a white-background version?

Is it just me, or are the Session Worksheet, Character / NPC Tracker and Campaign Planner templates gone from the end of the PDF?

Is the soft cover here a POD glue bound book, or the wire-bound version like the kickstarter?

I would also like to know this. I am regretting not getting a physical copy from Kickstarter.

Just for the record, I THOROUGHLY disagree with the 'prepare less, get more' mentality of some of these new books we're seeing. I much prefer the 'work smarter, not harder' mentality.

That said, a TIME SAVING resource like this COULD be a great boon. I actually collect these resources to try to squeeze every ounce of helpful I can from them.

So, here's the rub.. most of these resources are system generic. From your description, I don't think you COULD make a system generic version of this. Yours reads like it's thoroughly entrenched in D&D 5e. Do you have one for d20 / D&D 3.5 / PF 1st Ed.? Because.. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. :D

Six pages out of 45 explicitly use the 5E ruleset. Almost the entire book is systemless.

Great Scott, what a resource. Been umming and ahhing over this one for some time (for $5, right? Silly boy), and boy am I glad I bought it. Going to be incredibly useful for me moving forward.

Looks awesome... now all you need is to get Rob Twohy help and make it VTT mod for FantasyGrounds.

Hi! I was looking at your Random Dungeon Monster Tables for your Lazy DMs Workbook on your website (preview here's not working for me) and I am having difficulty understanding it.

If I understand this right, Dungeon Level 1 pulls from Monster Tables 1-3, and it lists 1-16 under Table 1 for Dungeon Level 1 but then wouldn’t monsters from 17-20 on Table 1 never have the chance to be used? And following that thought, then number 20 from Monster Table 2 would never be used as the die roll 20 is whatever number 20 is from Table 3. Is that how the Random Dungeon Monster Table is intended to be used? (Referring to Dungeon Level 1 = Monster Table 1: 1-16, Monster Table 2: 17-19, Monster Table 3: 20)

Dungeon Level 1 pulls from Monster Table 1-3, roll a d20 then pick the table based on the result. This is just to pick the table, not which monster on the table to pick.

So I roll a 15, then I pick Table 1. I roll again and get a 4 so I pick a giant crab

There are screenshots of five book pages: reference guides, random tables, and a map of a cave system, one of the Ten Lazy Lairs.

There's also a free PDF worksheet you can use when prepping your campaign.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
