D100 List – Their Dying Breath
Suggested by reader Nick Wright, I just had to do it. You have felled the big-bad-evil-doer. But then what? He just lays there? She says nothing? No, we must have a dramatic death! It is a moral imperative!
Here’s a list of actions and phrases you can drop in as the enemy dies. They may be meaningless ways for your NPC to mess with the players’ heads. It may be the lead to the next adventure. Your call. Remember to change any language to make it appropriate to your setting. Change “you” to “thou” or “thee” and stuff like that.
Remember, you can always re-roll if the result makes no sense.
Photo-Realistic Stone Maps
Based on some free stone textures I stumbled upon today whilst browsing around.
Figured some people want some realistic looking terrains for their games and these are based on photos or pretty close approximations of photos.
I’ll warn you now, they are big and need a good printer to look right. If you do print them, I suggest lamination or contact paper to keep them in good shape so you don’t have to print them again.
Photo-Realistic Stone Floors (1416)D100 List – Descriptors
Being able to describe an object, not just what it is, but what it looks like, is the difference between an OK game and a good game. Besides, many players have picked up the trick that if you (the game master) have taken the time to describe something, it’s important. Here’s a little tool to help you make everything have a description.
Feel free to use this in conjunction with the colors list I posted awhile back.
Starbase Omicron – Angled Turns
If you’ve spent any time at all on this web site, you should have seen this download coming a mile away. If not, well, call it a pleasant surprise.
30, 45, and 60 degree turns for the Sci-Fi based terrain theme. Download, print, cut, and enjoy!

D100 List: Planet/System Names
It’s been a while since I pulled a list together and, I think, only the second time I’ve put together a Sci-Fi themed list.
Use these names to populate your game with planets and systems for your players to explore, conquer, or simply meet a grisly end. Make up your own stories about the planets and what their names’ mean.
