I’m running my first campaign right now and still feeling out what works best for me in terms of prep and world building but this app is insanely useful for the way I like to build things out. The name generators are great but even beyond that the other generators help make shops quickly and give great ideas for locations and events that can then be expanded on.
I think something that could be great to see in the future is an option to make folders for saved items. This would make it nice for building larger locations with everything you need in that area all in one place, but even without that kind of organization option the app is great and I’m exciting to keep using it!
A wide variety of topics with a good database from which it draws. The single thing I’d love seeing added is a way to add specific things to the database from which it draws (for example, adding the general item of “tinderbox” which can then be in mundane items or enchanted items), but that’s exceptionally wishful thinking on my part for a free app. This does what it says it does and does it very well.
Not every section will save to your favorites.
What’s the point if it doesn’t save everything?
Some of the sections do save the data to your favorites, but the app is not worth using currently. There are many other random generators that actually work. I would find something else to use.

Hey there! Thanks for giving RPGen a try - do you happen to remember what sections weren't saving? I would love to fix this for you! Please feel free to email me at rpgen.app@gmail.comVery useful generator and easy to navigate. One issue I ran into was that the event scenarios I favorited didn’t preserve the details of the event only the location. Such as “Town Event” or “Desert Event.” Unfortunate, but nothing a simple screenshot wont fix.

Hey there, thank you for your very specific bug report! This will be at the top of my list to fix soon 💜I have used this app for a few months now and I have one thing to say: WOW. Just, WOW! This is the BEST app for DnD that I have found on the App Store! It has dice, character names, events ideas, encounters, npcs, and much more! Not a fan of D&D? I use this app ALL THE TIME for writing stories! It gives you good ideas and names! Thank you for making this app! I love that it is free! Thx for reading my review!
I'm new to DnD but Tom to create a world for an older nephew that really wants to play again. This has been a tremendous amount of help in world building... and I'm actually feeling confident that it will help me in the adventure itself. Thank you so much for an amazing app!
This app is amazing and very detailed. Great work!!
Why is there only 30 reviews?! This Generator was able to somewhat smartly generate all sorts of content! The NPC generator, shops, and events were very well done. This actually helped with my world building when I was stuck for padding inventories.
This app gives you instant names for NPCs, cities, shops, items, food, and more. Some descriptions even go much further, providing personality traits and such. But I think my favorite feature is the ability to add your own generators. If you’re willing to put in the time, you could use this app to generate entire dungeon rooms, generate dragons, spells, or just rework some of the existing generators to give you names that better fit your world. Kinda crazy that this is free

Hey there, thank you for the kind review!
I'd love to learn more about how you're using the custom generators. If you're up for it, please feel free to send me an email at lyzzibrooks+rpgen@gmail.com. And if there's anything else I can prioritize, I'd love to hear that too.
Happy gaming!This is a great app for dms and making a fun campaign! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to start a campaign as a dm.
