Software for Random DnD Adventure Generation

• TableSmith - this wonderful program allows you to input a table, and have the program roll dice against the table.  I have collected a whole shitload of tables, and put them all into the zip file.  So, download this zip, unzip it to the root of your C:\ drive, make a shortcut to tablesmith.exe on your desktop, and you can start using it.  It includes tables to generate random towns, random adventures, random treasure, random names, custom magical items, custom dragons, custom wild surges, and about a hundred other equally awsome tables
  Here is the original TableSmith site.
  
• DungeonCrafter - an excellent freeware tile-based mapping program. Highly recommended. This folder has the program, plus a bunch of tile sets (for different types of maps, of course!). There are over 1000 extra tiles here for DungeonCrafter, making it a must-have tool in your mapping toolkit!
• AutoRealm Mapping Software - this is the other mapping program I use - it takes a while to learn to use it (so learn it in advance), but can do some really nice stuff.
  
• Monster Database - this is version 4 of the Monster Database, with a slightly modified database file.  This version outputs data that can be converted straight into a creature node for OpenRPG
• NPC Equipment Generator - this program will generate random equipment for any character - you type in the level & class, and it will ouput a statblock or a detailed list of the equipment for that character.
• Spreadsheets - there are 3 Excel spreadsheets in this archive.
  Demographics - this spreadsheet will calculate an overview of an entire country, its 10 biggest cities, and whatnot
  Economic Simulator - use this spreadsheet to generate a 'snapshot' of the current economy in an area, so you can determine what goods are available at what prices
  Room Furnishings - a little spreadsheet to generate a random room description
• Character History - a program to generate character background information
• NPC for Windows - a program to generate random PCs - this particular version is the one that works with my VBScript which will allow you to make random NPC nodes for OpenRPG in minutes
• TerrainMage and CityMage - both available for a small fee (something like $25 each) on the internet.  I use them to make quick maps that are easy to insert into just about any scenario.  Check out the demo versions - they work pretty well.
• Crimson Editor - this freeware text editor has excellent syntax highlighting for XML files.  If you open OpenRPG files with Crimson Edit, you will find it much easier to spot problems in the XML code
