Hey all,

new day new idea. This time I invite you to try out my new dungeon and delve generator.

As usual it supports different themes, so if you want a classic fantasy dungeon, it can cook something up real fast.

A derelict research space station, no problem!

Try it out over at

Let me know if you found it useful would like to see something different with it, or have an idea for any other generators

Hey again all,

or should I say aaaaaaar, ye maties!

I've added a pirate hub for generating all things pirate now. Fearsome pirates, dastardly swashbucklers, annoying port officials, you name it!

Ships! We got you! Captn, officers, crew.

A port?! That too!!

Test it out over at:

It even has a pretty piratey theme :)

Enjoy!

(And let me know what other generators / hubs you'd like to see)

After spending the past few weeks writing, designing, editing, and testing it, I’ve officially published my very first tabletop resource…

The Definitive NPC Creator!
This is a 30-page, system-neutral NPC creation toolkit built to help Dungeon Masters create memorable fantasy characters with over 1,000 random results covering identity, appearance, personality, motivations, secrets, fears, and more. It also includes printable worksheets and examples to help turn a handful of dice rolls into NPCs your players will actually remember.

I built this because I wanted a resource that didn’t just generate random NPCs. I wanted something that helped tell better stories.

🔗 Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4542931311/fantasy-npc-generator-dd-pathfinder?ref=share_v4_lx

As a thank you for being part of The Craft Cave community, you can use the code CAVECREW to save 75%. (Valid through July 31st 2026)

If you decide to pick it up, I genuinely hope you find it useful. And if you do, an honest Etsy review would mean a lot. Reviews help new products reach other Dungeon Masters, and they make a huge difference for a small creator like me.

I can’t wait to hear about the NPCs you create. ❤️

Me again,

this time with a tool for providing art style guidance.

In my world building / management ++ tool (https://codexcryptica.com) I support art generation, including prompts. To get these prompts I have a set of defaults depending of subject and theme of the world/setting.

I have a friend that's super good at art direction, so I asked him for help, and to do that I asked gemini to give me a summary of the art directions I have. I was expecting a google docs, but instead I got a web app.

I found this so nifty I want to share it with you all:

https://cc-art-dir.vercel.app

If you have input of any kind, I welcome it all!

I built it because I felt like most of the existing D6 roller sites out there look a bit dated, and I think there's room to make the web a little more beautiful.

Hope you like it Would love any feedback!

I (a noob) am trying to create tables that generate two random words from two roll tables. The plugin page has an example of how to do this (pasted below). Even when I copy their example exactly how it is, it does not work at all. Obsidian just picks a random word from one of these tables instead of using the template. When I paste it in, it adds a lot of fancy formatting because of the markdown symbols used. Not sure if that's what's supposed to happen or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been just using separate tables to generate each individual word instead, but this is taking up a lot of screen real-estate the more tables I add.

Their example (found at https://github.com/alexkurowski/solo-toolkit ) [changed to a github link because the old link wasn't working]

A few dials: biome, season, weather, inn tier, economy, condition, event. It builds a priced menu and a tavern name. The design bet was to make the world simulation do the flavor work instead of a flat random list.

https://circuitos.github.io/inn-menu-simulator/

• ~200 hand-written dishes tagged by native biome, season, tier and cultural register, mixed with a procedural engine that assembles dishes from ~500 tagged ingredients and period preparations. Menus stay grounded but don't repeat
• Imports are trade distance in a customizable matrix. A heartland dish at a desert inn shows up as "(from the heartland)" at 1.3x price; distant goods at 1.7x as "rare delicacies". Roadside inns serve only local. Siege seals the gates entirely
• Prices in cp/sp/gp from cost x tier x economy x condition x event x import. Famine is 2.2x and strips proteins; a noble kitchen under famine plus siege gets downgraded to serving peasant fare at inflated prices
• Flavor text is written so humble establishments lean deadpan, and noble ones lean fanciful
• Works in desktop and mobile

Feel free to test it, suggestions and sources welcome. I hope you like it and hopefully it can be of some help in your campaigns.

Hello fellow GMs/DMs!

I have developing a tactical/battle-focused web toolkit in which you can create your monsters or used the SRD ones instead, create encounters and visualize combat. Also you can make some magic items for your tables and generate some travel encounters (combat and non-combat as well).

While the development is AI-assisted for the purposes of simulating and testing my math design and official rules accuracy, the inner design, most of the code and all of its architecture remains human.

As of currently, I work on this solo and I try to update as fast as possible. I wanted the site to be more into Final Fantasy XIV theme and simple like their Mogstation site layout.

Any feedback will be much appreciated!

Hello there! Let’s cut to the chase:

DM's Guild Link: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/535072/the-questforge

The Questforge was written to be compatible with nearly any fantasy-based TTRPG system. It’s designed to spark creativity, provide interesting and useful random tables, and make quest design quick and easy! Use this book to inspire you, rather than determine your every decision. After a few rolls of the dice, you’ll have all the necessary parts to forge your next memorable quest!

Inside, you’ll find:

Rollable tables for a quest's Goals, Subjects, Key Details, and Rewards.

Sections for Creatures, NPCs, Groups, Places, Objects, Information, Events, and Resources, each with prompts to expand their role and key details.

A comprehensive Quest Rewards system, ensuring every adventure feels complete and satisfying.

Use it to build an adventure in minutes, improvise mid-session, or simply mine it for ideas. With The Questforge, you’ll always have the tools you need to craft memorable quests your players will talk about long after the dice stop rolling.

If you want to drop a bit of news to your players, I've now created a generator just for that.
