Tools of Legend - Eigengrau's Generator

Duncan Thomson

If you want a linked set of RPG generators then Eigengrau's Generator be the tool for you.

The Tool

Eigengrau's Essential Establishment Generator starts off with a town and some buildings, but soon branches out to create NPCs, a quest or quick scenario.

Whenever an element is created, parts of it can be expanded out.

I started with the town of Fallburn, expanded out the Toad and the Pantry tavern, finding out the barmaid was a doppelganger. Clicking on the landlord Keith Shadowquick it gave me a description and I created a detailed background for him.
