Three apps on Windows Phone that a D&D gamer should have
Table of contents:

- D&D Encounter, control the turns in battles

With all the paper, pencils, and dice you have to put up with to play a tabletop game of Dungeons & Dragons, why not automate some things with our Windows Phone?.
Compendium, all the game information in your terminal
With D&D books being great, better to have everything stored on our mobile. The Compendium application allows you to see everything about the classes, races and other things in the game from your phone.
The application gets information from the Wizard service, D&D Compendium, so it is necessary to have a subscription there (it has a cost of $9.99 per month). Also, the app costs $1.99 but has a trial version with reduced features.
The main disadvantage of this application is that it seems that the developer has stopped giving importance to it, without adding more news. And the last user review was almost a year ago. So use at your own risk.

D&D Encounter, control the turns in battles
In battles you have to score the initiative points, roll the dice, arrange them on a piece of paper. It takes time and is usually somewhat annoying. With D&D Encounter you solve this problem, giving you greater comfort.
In D&D Encounter you can create a party, then create different characters from those who are playing and involved, assign them a name, life, and initiative. Finally, you add the enemies that are in the battle (there is a huge list with common characters).
You roll the initiative points and the application will order the battle turns, and as the game progresses, you can move the characters down to play the next character.
D&D Encounter is completely free, and it also saves the data of the equipment and characters created to use them again another day.

WarDice, emergency dice on your Windows Phone
While I prefer physical dice to mobile dice, it can still be the case that you don't have a type of dice or it's just more convenient to use on a mobile. Wardice is an excellent choice.
There is no major science in this app, it has dice of 1d2, 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12, 1d20 and 1d100 . We open it, we choose the dice we want to throw, and we press Roll!, and below it will show us the number that came out.
In addition, it also allows you to make custom dice and add some modifier to their value. And finally, it has a history to see the results we were getting.
WarDice is completely free, it's simple, but it perfectly meets the needs of a D&D player or why not also a player of board games that require dice.
