GM & Player Resources

Here is a list of online resources that I use on a regular basis.  They include Random Generators, Map Creators, Character Creators, Art databases, campaign hosts, virtual tabletops, forums, and player finders.  Enjoy!

Random Generators

Seventh Sanctum:  Contains a wide variety of random generators, some serious, some fanciful.

donjon:  An awesome conglomeration of random generators, ranging from names, to towns, to dungeons (complete with traps and monsters), to entire randomly generated worlds and quests.

The Domesday Book:  Generates accurate demographics (such as number of guards or number of castles) for given cities, towns, or countries.

101 Fantasy City, Town, and City Maps:  From Inkwell Ideas, here are 101 wonderful maps of places that you can use!  Many links are broken, but still very work looking into!

The Archive of Nethys Random Treasure Generator:  A great random treasure generator with plenty of room for customization.

John's Dungeons and Dragons Utilities:  A range of useful tools, such as random name generators, loot generators, trap generators, and spell book generators.

Game Master Tools:  A variety of quick generators that are very useful for in play creation, such as physical characteristics, goals, and interesting rewards.

Unusual City Names and Unusual Place Names:  For real world places that could help you come up with some fake ones!

Abulafia Random Generators:  An entire wiki devoted to a huge number of random generators

1001 Mournland Horrors: A whole bunch of strange and unworldly events and areas that could inhabit the most bizarre areas of your campaign.  Exceptional, check it out!

Art

OpenGameArt.org: Art, art, everywhere.  A lot to go through, but what you want will almost certainly be here.

DeviantART:  Another website with a crap-ton of art, not all of it fantasy related.  However, if you want to go digging, you will find what you want.

Campaign Hosts

Obsidian Portal:  A free online campaign host made for a variety of rulesets, including Pathfinder.

PbWorks:  My personal favorite, a very flexible free wiki hosting system that you can set up within a minute.

Music

Gaming Background Music: A long list of links to songs, compiled into battle music, travel music, tavern music, etc...  Very helpful.

Syrinscape: A program to mix RPG sound and music to add ambience to your game - but you've got to pay for it.

In Play/Virtual Tabletops

Combat Manager:  A free application for windows and the iPad to help manage in combat play.

d20Pro Virtual Tabletop:  Like it says on the tin, a virtual tabletop.  Paid.
