Hi! I want to share my NPC generator :)

It's similar in functionality to existing ones; however, it features a modern UI, multiple export options, and a nuanced approach to generating appearances and stats.

I originally made this mostly as a GM aid for those playing RPGs like Cyberpunk Red. The idea is to have a normal map generator using dice (pretty common), but have the districts be decided by their major landmark. Having a unique landmark be the central focus will allow for each district to have it's own unique feel to it as well as acting as a possible important story beat.

If connecting 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 results in districts that are too big, feel free to just connect the same numbers, or shuffle the numbers around so they are less likely to touch each other.

Also, feel free to substitute any of the landmark numbers with your own ideas, or expand the table yourself.

I started this site/playground decades ago. Originally, because I wanted a searchable database for D&D 3E monsters, but it's fun to program new stuff, so I kept adding stuff. Mostly for 3.5E.

I don't devote much time to this site so many tools are rough on the edges. The 5E spells database is still rudimentary, for example.

And many of the graphic generators are too "square", but they're the most fun to write.

Recently I've adopted Traveller (mixed with Cepheus Engine) and realized I could reuse a lot of the code already in there and made a first attempt to make a Subsector generator and later a table calculating Interplanetary travel times.

~~Which leads me to this shameless plug: If you're interested on a Traveller RPG community, please drop a comment on this post I created at !community_meta@ttrpg.network.~~

Edit: Alas, I ended up creating !scifi@ttrpg.network instead.

So we have a few of these things and I honestly fell like they're critically under utilized for what they are. You can see the mini figure display space, the stand and folding wings come out leaving a sizable storage area, and the lid also opens to enough storage for all the parts in each set. The top of the lid is an ordinary 8x8 flat round corner.

Obviously, these would be great travel cases for Lego D&D Minifigs, with your fig, main equipment, and what not with the back space used for other equipment or cosmetics. That said, I really want to find a game that uses the building aspect of Lego and can be stored in these containers.

The best I've come up with would be some variation of Goh that uses smooth tiles? Maybe some sort of chess game? Any ideas would be appreciated, I've been wracking my brain on this for weeks.

I have created a free tool for players to roll dice, saving the history of all rolls, and requiring no login: simply pass a unique URL back and forth between players as rolls are made.

You can start with the empty page here, or take a look at the code to make it yourself (it's simple HTML with a tiny bit of JavaScript).

I just checked and holy cow, there apparently are 400 of subscribed users. I didn't realize that since there are very little upvoting and even less comments, but I hope you're having fun, people.

Anyway. Long story short, Lemmy.world was recently inaccessible quite often and it seems the situation may persist.

As such, I can't promise constant flow of new content. I'll try to add a link or two when I can.

Take care.
