Okay, I want them all...

aleta tools ultimate GM caseBut... ohhhhhh... I really want this one!  There's just too much D&D/D20 in my life, and they're so pretty!  And easy to carry in the handy case...

If you haven't looked at Alea Tools and you do a lot of GMing involving miniatures, you should have a peek at these. They stack under miniatures and let you see status (flying, invisible, whatever) at a glance.  And it's fun to play with the magnets.  So I'm easily entertained - sue me!

And, while we're at it, you might want to check out Monster Tiles.  I have a one deck metal card box full of these, and they're super easy to carry with me (if a little heavy).  You can write on them in pencil, which makes it easier to differentiate between foes.

dragonfire laser craftsThe third product I use frequently are Dragonfire Laser Crafts Monster & Dungeon Dressing tiles.  The pack I have covers everything from medium sized to Colossal, along with status tiles (flying, invisible, etc.)  They're very lightweight, and I don't worry about damaging them.




Because, you know, you can never have too many toys...

I've been busy gaming and wrestling with the depression demon -- and not updating here at all.  Bad Jae... I actually have a lot of thoughts I might want to share, but I never seem to get around to it.

Nor am I sharing much of those thoughts today -- just a wonderful tool I stumbled across (thanks to friend Reimer) that I think is invaluable both as a GM and as a player.

The Quick Character Generator comes up with randomized character concepts, and is part of a larger site of entertaining and useful generators -- Seventh Sanctum.  Cleverly (and appropriately) subtitled "Notions Ex Machina", it contains a variety of idea generators.

I frequently start characters with not much more than a one sentence description, and I love having something unusual to work with.  The one thing I hate is falling into a rut -- and I will, if left to my own devices.  There are certain archetypes I return to time after time, and something like this can help me put a different spin on the same old thing.

What goes for me as a player goes triple when GMing.  I love this site!  (I also love his slick PHP code...)
