GM Tools at d20zines

[Ghostwind]

I will probably be bundling the GM Tools articles together into a single pdf document down the road a bit. I want to give Connors a chance to write a few more. I expect that we'll do it once he turns in his 10th article.

10! Wow, I had better get moving

What about making them generators? Would that make it easier to put on the site?

You'd have to talk to the webguy for the site on that. My bet is that generator's would be a pain to work within the Postnuke shell.

Hey, I tried your link, and I get a page that says "Problem in Database Connection" - you might have your friends at d20zines work on that.

Works just fine here.

So, anyone used these? Any interesting results?

Any new ideas for future instalments?

Have you used these tools? Why/why not?
What would make them better?
Should I provide examples?
Do you have any ideas for resources to add to a tool already up?
Do you have any ideas for entries for tools already there?
Are there any similar tools you would like to see? I have others...have hinted at some in my comments, but I would like to know what GMs could really use...
Are these of use to your game?
etc

First off, I'm a fairly new GM, so keep that in mind.

I have not used those tools mainly because having just gotten back in to D&D/d20 after 15 years away, I'm still trying to find resources in the internet. I've never seen them or your magazine before. FWIW - the site has been bookmarked!

In general, they look cool but I'm already ok on the fluff side of things (town characteristics, planning encounter types, etc). What I would use are the combat actions tables and similar. I often find that in the heat of the moment I forget what a mobs options are. I was so worried about atmosphere and what not, I didn't even think to have the minotaur charge and grapple the party.

Overall, they look very cool and I'll be sure to check in on them again very soon.

Any new ideas for future instalments?

* Things you find in a marketplace
* Actions/events that happen during mass combat
* Things you find in a dragon's lair

 

[Connorsrpg]

Bump.
Still chasing ideas.

Anyone....please

I really, really, really would love some more ideas or some egs of any that have been used.
