DM Tool: Dice Roll Lists
For those that are old-time fans of Dungeoneering, this set will look more than a little familiar.
Way back when (before this was Dungeoneering.net and was a Geocities site) one of the most popular downloads were dice roll lists. What are dice roll lists? Let me explain.
Back in the good old days of my hardcore GMing sessions, I found that (due to lack of space) throwing dice could be a bit of a pain, when I wanted to keep them secret. These were the days when laptops where mind-blowingly expensive and I was on a student budget. Also, a lot of my gaming prep was done during lulls in lectures, during lunch, etc.
Runescape: Tips and Tricks
Welcome Runescape players!
I’ve compiled a list of tips and tricks you may find useful:
Stone Kingdom – Sunstroke: The Shifting Sands of Al-Hakam
New desert dungeon tiles! The original set was pretty hastily thrown together as part of a larger 40×40 adventure map. This one is a full set with tile floors, stone floors, and desert sand.
It’s also a hybrid set, featuring both 2d and 3d paper models. There are foldable paper models of stairs, platforms, and an obelisk (with three different styles).
I know it’s tooting my own horn, but this is a pretty cool set and will fit with any Egyptian (or similar theme). Anyone out there still gaming with the Al-Qadim setting for Forgotten Realms?
Pulp fiction lovers can go all Indiana Jones with this set. It will also work for all the Prince of Persia knock-off games I envision coming after the new movie hits theaters this summer.
Print and cut carefully, and don’t forget to send me your photos!
Sunstroke: The Shifting Sands of Al-Hakam (3353)D100 List: Fantasy Name Builder
The concept is pretty simple: Roll a D100 for the first part of the name on the first list, the another D100 on the second list for the latter half. Put them together and voila, you have a fantasy name worthy of Tolkien himself. Uses the basic Adjective-Noun or Noun-Noun combinations.
Use the lists to generate inns, taverns, towns, cities, guilds, houses, or any geographic feature that you need.
See below for the lists.
