OSE Hexcrawl Generator 3

 Apparently, I can't stop working on these. Added more terrain modifiers, more monsters, and many more town issues. Made otherworldly portals half as likely, replacing some with other odd sites. Now generates monster numbers and treasure. If a monster is listed with "(Treasure: )" that means that the generator rolled for treasure but they happen no to have any. If a group is especially small, you are normally told to reduce the amount of treasure. Don't come crawling to me if psuedo-dragons, ropers, and giant wasps have weird treasure results.

As ever, glory to Spwack and ktrey.

OSE Hexcrawl Generator 2

 An updated version of the previous hexcrawl key generator, with an eye towards expanded variety and greater detail.

New features include:

  • Prompts for the addition of rivers, roads, and mountain ranges. This may be the only practical way for the generator to handle these.
  • Four in seven regions will now have a coast to a cardinal direction.
  • Previous generator had two random terrain types predominate. Now has an equal chance of two types, three types, or one type with a secondary. In all cases. there are still outlier hexes.
  • Hex descriptions reformatted, with more locations, hex information, and link to relevant OSE encounter table.
  • Rebalanced hex features to mimic dungeon stocking procedure, after a suggestion from ktrey. Monster lairs now more common. 
  • More detailed monster lairs, including details from Tamás Kisbali. "Monster moots" now no longer a common lair type, but may come up without that name.
  • More town details.
  • Added otherworldly portals.
  • More humanoids and slightly more monsters.
  • Added links for all spellcasting classes to the OSE spell memorized generator. Added links for treasure maps to the relevant treasure type generator.

April Fools 2022: THREE WORD SWORD Generator

 I feel my last generator was misunderstood. Hopefully this will be more clear.
