Compilations of online tools for table top gaming.
SavagedTools is a small, bare-bones application (semi-optimized for mobile devices) that combines card-based initiative, dice rolling (supporting aces & wild die, and hopefully any number of edges/hindrances), and a logger into one tool.
I have finally opened up the online Pathfinder PRG character generator beta testing to the public. You can find the generator at VentureCaptain.com. Come try to break the site and be a part of making it better!
The Online Resource category is probably the most visited category of Mad Brew Labs. In the last year and half that the Labs has been operating, I have occasionally gathered together massive lists of resources of various themes to make it easier for readers to find the stuff they need for their games.
In this installment of Miniatures & Terrain Series, I provide a simple database of manufacturers of miniatures of what I’m calling non-heroic scales (everything but the D&D 25mm-28mm standard). But don’t let the name deceive you, there are some very heroic minis available within these scales.
So you purchased the perfect mini for your character, but it is currently just a heap of white metal in a plastic blister pack. Oh, and it uses a scimitar instead of that awesome two-handed falchion your character likes to use to split enemies in twain, but it is close enough to perfect… and you can literally picture what it will look like painted and finished in your head.
Besides dice, miniatures are probably the next most recognizable roleplaying accouterments found at the gaming table. Minis, a vestige of RPGs wargaming roots, are often more than just a physical means for representing characters. For many, the collecting and painting of minis are a hobby within the hobby.
The Labs presents an ever growing collection of Pathfinder RPG resources. Find links to the official SRD, character generators, and other resources here. If you know something that isn’t listed, be sure to leave a comment with a link to the resource and it will be added promptly.
Mad Brew takes a look at comic strips inspired by D&D from the old pages of Dragon & Dungeon magazines to Kobold Quarterly and the web.
Mad Brew is on the hunt for terrain and cardstock to build engaging locations to adventure in. Adding three dimensional dressing to the table can do a lot to enhance immersion during gameplay, but it is also time consuming and bulky.
MadBrew kicked the Labs’ online resource series with tools for D&D 4e, now he is following up with general resources any game could use.
