Tools for GMs
Question Answer
How can I design an encounter? We wrote an article on it! See How to Design an Encounter for your answers.
Are there tools to make running encounters easier? A lot of plot runners on Tenebrae use a software called Combat Manager to help track enemy HP totals and have enemy stat blocks available at a glance.

The Player-Contributed Encounter Grab Bag has some player-contributed inspiration for running your own encounters, too.

Where can I find monsters for encounters? Check out the Tenebrae Bestiary. The only approved sources for monsters are listed on this page!

Keep in mind that there are creature restrictions depending on what type of PRP you're running! (See Standard PRPs and Death Consent PRPs for more on those.) Dragons and demiliches are reserved for staff-only events to keep them unique. Catfolk, driders, and drow are not in theme and therefore are not permitted.

What if I want to offer legwork? What IS legwork? The Legwork Mini-Guide for GMs explains it all!

+help legwork in-game is helpful too.
