NPC Background Generator Most Dungeon Masters and players enjoy the process of creating a history or background story for their characters. In fact, the Hero Builder?s Guidebook features an extensive chapter on creating backgrounds for your PCs. However, if you? Heroic Histories Every person, whether real or fictional, is defined by his or her past. The background generator covers two sections: Family and Friends: First the background generator determines information about the NPC? Major Events: Next, you will generate the most formative events the NPC? Mark My Words . . . As you go through the process of creating a background for an NPC, remain constantly on the lookout for ways to link the various random results. The same holds true for determining events. It is also possible to link the background generated for an NPC with that of a party member. A Note about Tense and Gender Throughout the results that follow, you do not have to follow the verb tense that the generator uses. About the Author William W.
D&D Item Clip Art One hassle I've run into, when running various fantasy RPGs, is to deal with the mass accumulation of treasure items - and, for that matter, anything else that is or isn't nailed down that the player-characters might think to take. If the characters decide to "loot", and I recite, aloud, what items they find, sometimes things get lost in the shuffle. Someone writes down an item on his sheet, and then bargaining takes place among the players as to who gets what, and in the midst of it, someone forgets to erase something here or write something there. A useful item disappears into the aether ... or it gets mysteriously multiplied across multiple character sheets. I addressed this issue first in my games of "Advanced HeroQuest" by creating small cards from pieces of mat board with a scribbled picture of the item, a convenient listing of the treasure item's value in "gold crowns", and also including any relevant information for the item's properties that the players might be privy to.

DM Olacak Adam The Aion Wiki - Aion classes, races, skills, and more! Open The Pod Bay Doors, MAL: The Rumpus Interview With Lori Emerson It is summer and the Rocky Mountains loom large and golden over Boulder, Colorado, where the university spreads out in matching brown-yellow stone. Schools of mountain bikers zip past the traffic on their way up, up, up—where endless blue skies and wild spaces await. But I am on my way down, down, down: I’m visiting the Media Archaeology Lab, housed in several rooms of the lower level of an ordinary-seeming house just a block or so off campus. Walking into a room full of computers that are practically pre-historic in computer-years, I feel the sort of reverence one feels at a museum—at first I want to stand at a distance and take photos. The MAL has recently opened itself up to artists’ residencies, in addition to being open to the public. I spoke to Lori Emerson by e-mail, shortly after my visit. The Rumpus: What kind of people tend to visit the Media Archaeology Lab? Emerson: Unfortunately, as of about six months ago, the MAL used up its last bit of funding. Rumpus: Zork!
40+ awesome free Windows apps you can download in 2 seconds Depending on your internet connection you might be able to download a lot more (or a lot less) than 1Mb in two seconds - but calling this a post about apps under a meg just isn't quite as much fun! No, you don't really need to pay too much attention to an application's hard drive footprint any more. After all, when you can buy a 1.5Tb drive for less than $150US, what difference does a few megs here or there make? On the other hand, it's amazing to see what some developers are able to accomplish with a very small amount of code. There are a ton of great, free applications that have been created in less than 1Mb - I didn't fully realize just how many until I started putting this list together. Desktop/Shell Enhancements Launchy (408Kb) - Hotkeys FTW! Open++ (114Kb) - Helps you tweak your context menu six ways from Sunday. ViGlance (198Kb) - Want Windows 7's iconized taskbar in XP or Vista? VirtuaWin (385Kb) - Most Linux distributions enable multiple virtual desktops by default. Encryption
