I still use Central Casting Dungeons. Great book, but a bit on the expensive side since it has been out of print for so long. The Central Casting background book is also one that I use.I did buy a book of nothing but random tables (Tome of Adventure Design). I also won another one in a giveaway contest (Ultimate Toolbox). They've been great resources, and I'm sure there are other such products out there.
Looking at Ultimate Toolbox now, thanks muchly.I did buy a book of nothing but random tables (Tome of Adventure Design). I also won another one in a giveaway contest (Ultimate Toolbox). They've been great resources, and I'm sure there are other such products out there.
I typically use average damage for everything but the 'big boss' type creatures to save time. Like if there's an undead dragon with a bunch of minor undead filling their lair, the dragon will roll for damage but the minor undead all use average. This saves a bunch of time with the minor creatures, but still gives that 'oh no, that was a bad hit' or 'man I'm glad he rolled a bunch of ones' excitement for the biggest threat.What are the thoughts on using the average damage on the MM creatures?
So's my son. Years ago in our last campaign, he forgot to name the wizard our PCs were hunting for in the town of Ashfall, so when we asked for his name all he could come up with was...Dave. So we started referring to the wizard as "Ashfall Dave." The other week, in a follow-on campaign, we asked for the name of the drow sorcerer who was piloting the spelljamming vessel our PCs were on. He hesitated, desperately trying to come up with something spur of the moment, but we beat him to it, deciding the drow was "Underdark Dh'aeve."I'm terrible at coming up with names on the fly....
Unless it's a crit, I always use average.Would you have a link?
