Roll a New Dungeons & Dragons Character With This iOS Shortcut
A mind flayer just ate you—or your party—and you’re looking to get back into the action with a brand-new Dungeons & Dragons character. That, or you have a fresh new game coming up, and you need a little inspiration for your next character’s background and personality. Instead of spending an hour staring a blank character sheet, save a little time with the iOS Shortcut “WTF Is My DnD Character.”
Spoiler: If you don’t like naughty words, this shortcut is not for you.
Install it, tap on it in your iOS Shortcuts Library, and you’ll be provided with a pre-generated backstory (courtesy of the aptly named whothefuckismydndcharacter.com) to get you mind churning on a brand-new character.
You can then share your summary with your fellow players (and/or Dungeon Master), though I recommend dropping it into a Notes file so you don’t forget who you are. You’ll still probably want to fill out an actual character sheet by hand (or using a handy iOS app), but at least you’ll have done some of the work in advance—especially helpful if you haven’t been feeling very creative lately.
