I'll be graduating this year, and as part of my thesis I'm building a digital tool to help DMs create and maintain their campaigns/worlds. The tool will be designed to make DMs lives easier by not only functioning as a repository of knowledge, but by helping in the creation process.
If everything works out, I'll have built a tool that can (optionally) suggest new elements for the DM to add to their world, should they want to expand it, and allow them to create those elements with the click of a button. And it can do this for narrative elements as well. So apart from on-the-fly NPC creation, for example - it could generate side-quests, or sign-posty clues for your characters to loot off of fallen enemies, or even basic dialogue snippets. Generate it quick and easy, or detailed and thorough - whatever the user needs. Both the experienced sea-dogs, and the fresh-faced puppers.
Now, all of this requires a lot of input from you lovely champions of lore. So here's the question: Do you have time to fill out this survey? https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GMToolResearch
It's a ten minute (est.) survey into your preferences as a DM and the types of session you preside over (completely anonymous of course).
Thanks for your attention! ^.^
