There are a lot of ways to make cover art. Some AI tools I’ve tried or seen people use: - Stable Diffusion - MidJourney - Adobe Firefly - NightCafe - Runway Canva is also solid. The free version works fine. Pro has some extras, but you don’t really need it just to make album covers. For size, I usually aim for 3000 x 3000 px. That looks sharp everywhere. The baseline most platforms accept is 1400 x 1400 px if you want to keep it simple. One last thing. Don’t just rip someone else’s art. That feels cheap. Better to make something original, even if it’s rough. At least it’s yours. What do you all use for your cover art?

Running a game takes more than dice. The right tools keep you organized, let you improvise, and help the table stay in the moment. This series is about those tools. Each post will cover one area you can use as a Game Master. Short. Focused. Useful. Campaign Management You need a way to track your story, NPCs, and what your players have done. Mindmaps can show it all at once, and make it easier to branch when things go off-script. Maps and World Design World maps. City maps. Battle maps. Some are quick generators, others are full 3D builders. You don’t have to be an artist to make something your players can walk through. Cross-Referencing and Notes It’s easy to forget details when your world gets big. Apps like Trello, Notion, and OneNote help keep everything close at hand. Stats, names, items, it’s all there when you need it. Lore and History A living world needs a past. Even a short history makes the present feel more real. Draft it yourself, or use tools to keep the pieces in order. Minis and Tokens You can go physical or digital. HeroForge, STL files for 3D printing, or tokens for Roll20 and Foundry. Players like to see themselves on the board. Music and Sound Playlists. Loops. Cues. A good track can push a scene harder than any die roll. If you’ve used music before, you know what I mean. Each of these will get its own post. We’ll break them down and show ways to use them at your own table. For now, here’s the spark: 👉 What’s one tool you rely on every session?
