    a player of mine pointed this site out to me. Some of it is "meeh" in my eye, but for DM/GM's who like putting in a lot of flavor, it would be great. One thing I like are the "plot" tools. No help in tying plot points together, but it is neat nonetheless.

    Enjoy:

    In short, a lot of random X generators. X ranges from NPC writeups to story arcs to pub names.

    Yeah, I bookmarked it too! Thanks for posting it.

    Great thing about having lots of resources, even if some to most of the info is "meeh", you'll still be able to gleen info or gain inspiration from it!

    Dude - nice find! And I'll second Skunkape's comment about the "Meeh." Good things can sometimes be found in the bottom of a sinking pile of "Meeh"... I have LOTS of Meeh bookmarked. What looks like stinkage a month ago, may well be the exact thing I need today.

    Again - a big thumbs up!!

    .......

    Recruiting for a P&PG panel of writers who would write adventure / campaign hooks weekly. The idea is to spread the weight of the job around so the writers who sign on can choose specialty genres (Horror, Fantasy, etc). Your work would be featured on the home page and, of course, free for anyone to read and use. CLICK HERE if interested.

    I like it!

    I'm in the process of creating a world, and I can already see some of the assistance I'm going to get is going to be from this site.

    Thanks for sharing it with us!

    So far i've never been that stuck for something... in fact, i've written far more adventure ideas that i've ever used. Hundreds more than i can get to... but sites like this definitely help flush out the details to make them all feel more authentic.
