Auto Generator repository

Character generator, using races and classes based on Tajira, my homebrew setting. If you want to change those details though, it should be perfectly usable for just about any setting, from epic to historical fantasy. Also, it generates a fully original name each time, so feel free to just roll up names! (This is probably my best work here, and also the most liable to change.) 

(The character generator has been removed until I have a better sense of the world and some more well established content.)
Name generator:

 

Weapon generator:

Specific sword generator, because swords are surprisingly unusual in a lot of weirdly specific ways:

Shield generator:

Nightmares:

Elementals:

Undead:


Crystals! After following a lot of mineral and crystal accounts on social media I feel like a major element fantasy crystals tend to miss out on is the sense of contrast that's almost inherent to any crystal. So I tried to capture that, as well as the incredible, beautiful variety of crystals.




Notes: this page is where I'll be keeping all my auto-generator buttons. They're fun to make, but I don't want to fill my blog with endless posts of just one or two generators. Instead, I'm going to make this post, pin it somewhere prominent, and just add generators to it whenever I make them! I won't be deleting my old generator posts, but I'll probably be redoing as many of them as I feel are worth preserving and posting it all here. The generators in the current sidebar will likely be replaced with a link to this post.

As always, all of these are thanks to Spwack on Slight Adjustments for creating an incredible tool that lets you, yes you! turn your lists of words into auto generator buttons. I've failed to learn programming around half a dozen times so if I can use the tool to make these, truly anyone can.

Worldbuilding: bandits and villains

1. Copper Blades

Tactically efficient bandits known for carrying distinctive copper-plated daggers. They use their uncommon combat coordination to attack larger merchant convoys. Led by Copper Bobby, who supposedly wields a solid copper sword.

2. The Drove

Grotesque brigands who wear raw, leathery pig skins, including masks and hoof-decorated boots. Rumored to be cannibalistic. They loosely take command from the Hog, a huge warrior who was once a renowned knight named Sir Hopper, until he abandoned that life seeking easier pleasures.

3. Men of Polis

A well-dressed gang who prefer to take victims out of sight and brutalize or kill in secret. The city guard are in their pocket just enough to leave their hidden crimes without investigation. The leader is Father Bizzie, who fronts as a moderately successful innkeeper.

4. Heatrazers

Zealous marauder cultists who set their weapons aflame and ritually scar themselves with burns. The high priestess Pyela fights alongside her men, fighting with gauntlets that somehow burn without crippling her hands.

5. Finest Ones

White-robed assassins who wear masks and always kill in ways that leaves no stain upon themselves. They take contracts about as often as they kill for their own inscrutable ends. Led by a mysterious figure known only as Lord Law, who works alone and kills without leaving any visible wound.

Notes: shorter post this time, but I like the characters and unique bandit groups. They may seem a bit familiar in some ways.

Worldbuilding: Wrestling Vines

Within the Mebirin jungles there are countless deadly plants and fungi. These natural traps hunt without limbs or teeth. One of the relatively less deadly but most well known is the Shocherik vine, a plant which lies dormant beneath mild flowers. Coiled tightly in the dirt and ready to spring. The moment a beast steps on the flowers and begins to move away, the vines burst forth and wrap themselves about the unsuspecting prey.

There is a long-standing tradition in Mebirin to cultivate these vines. They are kept in pots, and bred to be mild. These potted vine flowers are used in semi-formalized competitions, put to the challenge of fighting one another. The gardeners are given small dishes of water with which to guide the growth of their vine, and the first pot to spill dirt onto the table or floor loses.


This is the sport of vine wrestling, a fine tradition and considered a thrilling type of battle in the Mebirin lands. Every five years, the Garden of Might is held. This tournament is not the greatest competition in all the lands, but it’s quite famous in Mebirin, and entrants from anywhere are allowed to compete.


The victor is given the Golden Seed, which is fated to either feed or destroy the entire land. None have been yet able to grow the seed yet, though many have held it.

 

Steelflower Chak: a powerfully-built man with a hard head and harder plants. His wrestling vines are most well known for their grey flowers and extremely broad leaves (which signify a sturdy vine). Often arrested for drunken brawling.


Dyedif the Sharpstar: a tall, elegant gardener of flamboyant fashions and even more flamboyant vines. His vines are known for having brightly colored thorns. He is known to be quite rich, and holds moderate authority in his land.

The Vinesinger: a mysterious woman who seems to wander the land, quietly competing in numerous vine wrestles. She has a quiet demeanor, and hides her identity under face wraps. Her plants have vivid flowers and no thorns, instead relying on supreme speed and strength to defeat every foe who stands before her. Many challengers wish to seek her out and become the first to conquer her plant.
