## What is TRPGTools?

This nice little app was made to address the often rising need of determining something at random in a typical tabletop roleplaying game. Things such as Tavern or Book names become fun and easy to generate with this application. With many, many possibilities, you will never be left wanting for a fun and memorable story element!

Inside, you will find 3 categories part of the "Default Set" collection to randomise names from:
DEFAULT SET:
- Books
- Percentages
- Taverns & Inns

Both "Books" and "Taverns & Inns" categories provide over 30,000 possibilities each.
They are made from multiple parts so those parts will come back from time to time.
Though there is no plan on providing support for dice it was decided that a "Percentage" category would come in handy for all Game Masters.


In the "LIBRARY" section, you will find other collections you can make yours.
The newest one to hit the shelves is: "Character Names".
You will find a multitude of Names for the following cultural Categories:

CHARACTER NAMES:
- Anglo-Saxon Names (over 110,000 possibilities)
- Celtic Names (over 170,000 possibilities)
- Greek Names (over 180,000 possibilities)
- Roman Names (over 160,000 possibilities)


The "Library" section also contains the following Collections:

DUNGEON DRESSING:
- Air Currents
- General Features
- Furnishings
- Sounds
- Smells

In hope this app helps but before all..
Have fun in your tabletop game!

### 3/5 — Crashes as soon as you try to change the category

*2021-01-16, version 1.3*

So I like the simplicity of the interface, but that’s about as much as I can say because the app freezes if you try to select another category from the library. Even if you try to select the taverns & inns again (the default category), it freezes as soon as you go back to the generator. Bummer.
