Pinterest is always good: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=dungeons+and+dragons
Also, I’m a huge fan of Zak Smith. He changed the way that I think about the game (and storytelling in general).

I love love love Matt Colville’s Running the Game series.

For maps I’ve only used inkarnate, but it has always worked for my needs. https://inkarnate.com/

Seth Skorkowsky, he’s my GM and has a Youtube channel that’s been moving up the ranks.

Here’s one of my favorite resources: https://dungeonmasterblock.podbean.com
They have a pretty active forum, too:
Plus one for Seth Skorkowsky’s channel. He not only gives a review of the games and modules, he actually puts a tremendous amount of effort into thinking through the weak plot points of the modules and gives you some recommendations of how to smoothly get past those things. Plus he’s hilarious as all get out:

Seth is a local (Denton) author as well. One of my coworkers plays in his monthly game.

Good recommendation folks. I’ve added Seth’s channel to my rotation after bingeing on a bunch off episodes.
Couple more here for formatting things to look like 5e documents:

Also, here’s one of my favorite blogs on 5e. The guy analyzes monsters to explain how they act in combat. It’s not just about optimizing their behavior, it’s about reading a monster stat block to see how that creature is going to behave. Like an Umber Hulk isn’t going to go about combat in the same way as a Death Knight, based on intelligence, wisdom, etc.

I like www.roll20.net, they have a large library of spells, items, rules, etc that are really easy to access. Plus it’s a great way to game online.
