Gemstones - Three 1D100 Tables
by Rowan J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/21/2023 09:38:32

This product contains the following content:

  • The front cover.
  • Three numbered lists of 100 words.
  • An advertisement for the dicegeeks patreon.

The pdf does not contain anything else beyond those three things.

This is shovelware, which appears to be the norm for this publisher in both their paid and unpaid titles.

I have blocked this publisher's emails and I hope that DTRPG adds a block feature for the site too.

The Book of Random Tables: Science Fiction
by Roscoe W. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/17/2023 23:21:28

I've somehow ended up running a sci-fi fate core campaign, despite the fact that the original star wars movies are about the only sci-fi I've ever seen. This has been extremelt helpful for idea generation, especially as someone with almost no previous media to reference!

5e Character Sheet Dungeon Map
by Jocelyn T. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/24/2023 20:05:40

I would give this more stars, but none of the PDFs I downloaded are fillable. Please fix and I will revise my review (if the site lets me). The one labeled "fillable" has some selectable lines that I think they meant to be the fillable fields, but they don't permit typing. I tested in Nitro PDF Pro, Preview (Apple), and Adobe Acrobat vs. other fillable PDF sheets I have.

As it is, I like the design! For a one-pager. It would be cool to have another version that is at least two pages--I prefer to have more room to write things--but that's not required :). My other suggestion would be to have a version with a background grid in a lighter gray color so it's easier to read handwriting over it in thin black pen.

The Book of Random Tables: 1920s-1930s
by Joseph B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/22/2023 14:59:09

Running a 1920's Call of Cthulhu campaign and this has been a very handy resourse that allows for a quick 'go to' when put on the spot for an era approriate car of the right yerar/make/value, song on the radio, film, etcetera. Some fluff, but i can't fault it. Most random tables and lists I've bought are interesting but aren't that prectical, but I genuinely use this most games.

The Book of Random Tables
by Benjamin W. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/18/2023 09:57:44

An interesting idea but unfortunatly not very useful. The random tables that aren't names just don't seem useable and the name tables need improvement. Some of the names sound like the wrong gender or just kind of sound lame. I wouldn't use them in my games so unfortunatly the book is kind of useless.

The Book of Random Tables: Cyberpunk
by Alfredo B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/17/2023 16:57:34

I would rate it higher if the name of the product was "The Book of Random Cyberpunk Names and other things", half the book is compossed of names, the other half, items, rumors and some hooks, that content is alright, though it could have gone deeper into the cyberpunk area, many of the items are common things that, sure, they belong in a cyberpunk world but they arent as inspiring as cybernetics and other things specific to the system.

The other products, Wild West, Sci fi, Modern, Apocalyptic, they are great.

Items in a Noble's Bedchamber - 1D100
by Christian R. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/31/2022 17:15:51

This is a brilliant list with a lot of creativity packed into its basic and bare-bones MSWord design. The hundred items include design elements (e.g., stuffed minatour, silver bathtub), potential clues (small safes, maps, portraits), to, ahem, easily transported items for morally flexible visitors (decorative swords, golden statues). Well done, dicegeeks. This is fun and very usable.

The Book of Random Tables: Wild West
by Sergio P. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/22/2022 08:17:57

Its a decent resource for quick names of places, people and others. I got it for 3.99 and it seems like the right price for what you are getting. I've tried using it mid-game but it seems more useful during session prep.

Dungeons for the Master
by Jim B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/23/2022 10:31:39

Short version: This is for you if you want lots of unfurnished, unpopulated, one-page dungeon maps, and tables of random room contents.

The first section is "100 Original Maps," except it's 82 maps, not 100. Then you get "77 Other Maps" that were published previously, apparently. The 77 figure is accurate, so that's 159 maps in total, not 177.

All the maps are one-pagers with about one or two dozen rooms. None of them have overlapping layers.

The maps don't include grids or scale indicators. There's no indication of room height.

A few dungeons include pits, but the majority of changes in depth are marked as stairs -- no slopes, ladders, chutes, or other options. There lots of doors; none of them are marked as secret doors.

Every dungeon has an evocative name (such as "The Warehouse of Sprax"). There's no description, backstory, or hooks, so the name is just for inspiration.

Very few of the dungeons have multiple entrances, and fewer still have entrances in different parts of the map. From an in-world perspective, a single entrance is a dangerous single point of failure, whether you're a dungeon resident or a dungeon delver. Blocking the sole exit entombs or imprisons everyone inside. From a gaming perspectve, a single entrance diminishes player agency. It doesn't give the players any choice over how to enter or leave. If you like jaquaying a dungeon, you'll want to doctor the maps to add another outside entrance. A few of the random table results could give you alternate exits to the outside.

Most of the maps allow multiple paths that the players could take through the dungeon, so that's good for player agency. Some maps are fairly linear instead.

In every map, the rooms are unnamed, undescribed, and unfurnished. If what you really need is a layout, you're in luck. If you want a furnished dungeon, you're out of luck, unless the random tables fill that need for you.

There are no natural features or water sources on the maps. Everything is either a room or a hallway, and almost all of them are rectangular with vertical and horizontal sides (very few diagonals or curves). You can roll up a well or river randomly on the tables (only a 1% chance of each, each time you roll), so you'll probably want to doctor the maps yourself if you want water in there somewhere.

Seemingly all of the maps assume an underground environment. There are no windows on any map, for example, although you can roll one up randomly on the tables. In many cases, you could declare that portions of the map are above ground, and then you'd add windows, outside entrances, and so on as desired.

The "1d100 Dungeon Encounters" section offers 49 pages of random tables (1 initial table, 48 pages of subtables). You start with a table of 100 entries: 4 character types (dwarf, halfling, human, or elf), 7 mundane animals (rodent, wolf, etc.), 1 "monster" (a ghost), several room types (pantry, barracks, etc.), a couple of dozen fixed features (a tree, a bridge, etc.), and dozens of entries for loose items.

Regarding room types, you can easily come up with several that aren't represented in the tables, especially if your dungeon has a particular purpose or theme (a community, a monstrous lair, a stronghold, a holy site, a secret hideaway, catacombs, etc.). You'd have to come up with your own themed room types.

The initial d100 result leads you to subtables that add a few details. For example, if you roll up a vase, you can then roll for its size, position, and contents. If you roll up a human, you then roll for the human's size, disposition, and profession. Some subtables indicate that the result is magical or valuable, leaving most of the details up to you.

The product info says it's system-agnostic, but the tables make occasional references to d20 terms and concepts (damage dice, alignment, etc.). There's not much of it, so you could easily tweak it for a different system.

You'll often need your improv or creative skills to put the tables to good use. The table results might give you, for example, a note with a poem of death on it, a book that's sitting on a raised dais, or a wolf. But then what? Why is that wolf there? What makes that book interesting, valuable, useful, challenging, or dangerous to the players? What's the poem's connection to the dungeon or the adventure? The tables hand you a prop (or a being), but the rest is up to you.

What it all comes down to is that you get 159 empty dungeon maps and tables of random room contents.

The King's Road: An Epic Fantasy RPG Campaign
by Bertrand L. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/11/2022 07:28:47

This setting and campaign are very interesting and have great potential for people willing to work on developing it, and I feel it would require a lot of work.

The Book of Random Tables: Fantasy Shops
by larry h. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/14/2022 08:02:07

As with Matt's other random books, this one has many tables to roll on. Appearance, secrets, contents can be randomized along with naming suggestions for several types of shops. For a city campaign I think this product would shine as a handy GM resource when players go wandering for a shoppping experience.

Wetlands: Swamps, Marshes, Bogs, and Fens
by Mike I. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/10/2022 14:23:04

This is a useful resource for running adventures by rivers and wetlands in general. It's basically well organized info from wikipedia with a few ideas on how they could be incorporated deeper into your games. You could do this yourself easily enough but it's nice that this is all in one place at least.
