We've all been there. The Game is in 90 minutes and all your have is a +Dyson Logos map and nothing to go in it. Heck, you don't even have the town or a single person in it. What to do?
In my case, its "start a series of posts highlighting some free DM resources." It may be apps for your phone or tablet, programs for you to use on your PC or Mac or even a website. Today, we start with a website:
Roll3d6.com
What do you get here? You get tables. What kinda tables? Gaming tables sir!
This is quite simply inspiration with the click of the mouse.
Need the name of a village your players just stumbled across in your sandbox?
How about that tavern? They can't all be Tenkar's ;)
You get the idea. No, it can't do your work for you but it certainly can nudge you in a direction or two.
Play with the random charts a bit. I'm sure you'll find some inspiration.
Something to keep in your Gaming Bookmarks folder. Or maybe I should start a series of links on the side for these? Maybe with another 2 or 3 posts behind me.
Have ideas for other posts in the series? Mention them in the comments below.
One of my secrets is I use http://fantasynamegenerators.com/ a LOT when writing up the backstories for my maps.
