YeOldMapMaker Hexographer | World/Starmap/Wilderness Map Creation Software GM Advice: A Learning Mechanic I had a reader ask about the mini-game that appears in my D&D campaign. A few people have expressed interest in it, and I thought it might be worth a look. I don’t pretend this is clever or innovative. This is very much a system I cobbled together as I was groping around trying to simulate a character learning. In our game, I had a situation where one player was working to translate a “book”, which was several pages of backstory they needed to know. As an aside, if you need to feed your players a bunch of backstory, this is a pretty good way of going about it. Oh boy! The Goal D&D has mechanics for long-term learning. I also wanted a system that would work independently of their other skills, levels, and abilities. The System (I had an alphabet novelty die that went along with the translation game, but let’s just assume we’re using Ye Olde d20.) The player writes down all the numbers from 1 to 20 on a notecard. Each attempt needs to simulate a stretch of in-game time. That’s it.

Seventh Sanctum Fantasy Name Generator By Samuel Stoddard - Version 1.5 One of the perks of creating fantasy stories -- whether by writing a story or game or by role-playing -- is you get to make up the names. Some people relish the task while others are frustrated by it. Some like it but can't seem to create names that are diverse enough. Fantasy Name Generator is a tool that can help you. It can generate an endless number of random names (of people, places, or anything) that would be suitable for use in a fantasy setting. In addition, this tool can be fairly amusing to use even if you don't have any name creating to do. You can use the fantasy name generator below.
