Well, the group is fairly new, and only has 19 members so far. I
wouldn't expect a whole lot of traffic on a regular basis...

If we want to get a dialog going, perhaps we could talk about
some collaborative tables we could work on. I've got a few
ideas myself that I've been meaning to look at when I could
find the time:

- Poem and Song Names (I suppose one could to generate
the contents as well, though it might be difficult to
come up with something that made sense :)

- Contents of crates, barrels, sacks, etc. that one might
find in supply closets and storage rooms of a dungeon or
manor.

- Ship names

- Magic Item History Generator (I hate the idea of magic
items being just run-of-the-mill things; I prefer the
idea that anything permanent (like an enchanted sword,
as opposed to something like a scroll or potion) was made
for a reason, even if it's just a ring +2 or a sword +1;
Baldur's Gate I/II were good with that, having some
histories behind a lot of items that weren't necessarily
all that special mechanically)

- 3E Spellbook generator

- 3E NPC generator(s)

- "Random" dungeon generator; I say "random" because you could
put a great deal of intelligence in such a table, so while
it's "random", it still makes sense, moreso than a typical
random generator that puts a king's chamber next to an
underground storage room that houses three pteradons... This
is part of the idea behind the "DungeonSmith" program I
started working on, but I think the concept will have a better
chance of seeing completion if I put the efforts into doing
this in TableSmith than in a whole new program (and if new
features get added to TableSmith to support that - so much
the better).

- Jewelery generator (one ships with TS, but it's pretty weak;
it's needs to be greatly expanded)

Just some thoughts...

I am working on a NPC generator for 3e. it uses the standard races from the
rules, does not currently allow for multi-class, but does take racial
bonuses/penalties into account.

Any interest I could put up a copy though it is still a work in progress.

quick question and comment, I just downloaded the tablesmith thing and
somethings aren't working well but that is to be expected. also the
expanaded list looks great.

I have made a complete jewels list from the dmg 3rd ed. i am working
on converting over the complete magic items table. where do i send my
tables to when i am done with them.

Also i can work on the items History table if noone else wants to
take it up.

And has anyone got the dungeon map generator to work it looks like a
great idea but I'm just racking my brain trying to figure it out.

Anyone have any good rpg tool sites to inform to me im always
searching for more more and more. On the same note does anyone know of
any good egroups for 3rd d&d??

And as always Bruce is a god.

What isn't working for you?

And has anyone got the dungeon map generator to work it looks like a
great idea but I'm just racking my brain trying to figure it out.
The "readme" file included with the ZIP file explains how to configure
things to get the table to work - is it not clear enough? (Though you
do hae to make sure you use the right version; there is one for TS2
and a newer one for TS3).
