May is almost upon us!

Time to wake up finally. Sorry folks, I haven't been active at at all these last few months. Real Life stuff getting in the way, but I have poked my head out from my lair and looked around.

I have discovered this really amazing PDF book to help out that overworked, underappreciated and harried Game Master (or Dungeon Master if you prefer).
The Book of Random Tables

Written by Matt Davis from Dicegeeks. 

And as you can see from the screenshot I took from the book's Table of contents, it has quite a variety of tables available in one book. So this can cut down on the need to consult multiple PDFs or books/printouts of random tables. From names of men and women, items found in a Cottage, Tomb or on a dead goblin to potion ingredients. 


Matt even includes some tables for random encounters in different environments (forests, mountains, swamps, etc.). The encounters are not fully fleshed out, but can get the ball rolling for your imagination.

 And there is also a table for ''Rumors & Odd Jobs'' at the end of the book.

 Do be warned that this book's content is geared more towards a medieval fantasy setting. You will NOT find anything about spaceships, aliens or high-tech gadgets here. As if the Cover didn't help give that away. 

Dicegeeks' site also has lots of other cool resources for the Game Master and the gamer in general. Once your done here, go visit his website.

SCI-FI MAPS ARE NOT A FICTION, THEY EXIST!

Here's a quick blog post about a new Kickstarter called '' Distant Frontiers Poster Map Set ''. 8 maps on Four double sided posters 22x34 inches each. They look really nice with plenty of details for your futuristic setting. Also, as of this writing, they less than 300$ from being funded, with 5 days left to their KS campaign. Some of the stretch goals look great too (arctic base camp, alien jungle, and maybe more? ).

Watch out! I'm building WORLDS here.

 Are you creating your own home brew setting or Game World? It doesn't matter whether you're also creating a your own RPG mechanics or using a multi-genre adaptable rule systems, such as GURPS, Savage Worlds, Genesys, etc. You might need a way to keep track of all your ideas, add to them, save some images and organize all that mess into something a bit more coherent. I've stumbled on a few web-based World Building tool kits to help you as an author, artist or RPG creator. Please note that some of these tools are not meant to manage an ongoing campaign per se, just the information that you are gathering for the game world itself. For a campaign manager, look more towards Obsidian Portal or Realm Works .  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The first one is called Milanote .  Link: Milanote Milanote is a tool for planning creative projects and is not geared specifically towards role-playing games. Any creative endeavor can benefit from this tool, whe...

Shaintar Character Builder and Adventure Generator

Image
It's all about the story, right? Mr. Richard Woolcock’s savage-stuff.blogspot site is a great resource for all kinds of things. He’s put together a lot of source material for Savage Worlds and other rules system thru the years and a fellow gamer and member of the Nerds-International family Karlen ‘’of-the-hill-people’’ Kendrick has contributed as well. I will be writing about a recent game I ran and the reason I mention these guys and their resources. I recently ran a Shaintar One-Shot game for some friends, in Fantasy Grounds. I didn’t have as much time as I would’ve liked in order to prepare, so I used the website tool to give me an idea for a scenario (see the link below), and simply used some pre-gens from a previous One-Shot I had run last fall. link: Shaintar Adventure Generator The adventure generator is a great way to get ideas and inspiration, even if you’re not running a Shaintar campaign. Just substitute the appropriate element that suits your own setting...
