Educators can create random exercises, quiz questions, or learning prompts. KEY FEATURES: Create and Edit Tables Build custom random tables with entries that can have numeric ranges for weighted randomization.

Organization Tools Use tags to categorize and filter your tables, making it easy to find what you need. Mark your favorite tables for quick access, and organize your collection efficiently. Import and Export Import tables from text files or directly from App's repositories. Export your tables for sharing with others or backing up your collection. Multi-Table Support Create roll groups that combine multiple tables, allowing you to roll on several tables simultaneously for complex random generation scenarios. Offline-First Design All data is stored locally, so you can use the app without an internet connection. Your tables are always available, even when offline. Theme Support Choose between light and dark theme modes to match your preferences and reduce eye strain during long sessions. User-Friendly Interface Intuitive design makes it easy to create, edit, and roll tables. The app is designed with usability in mind, so you can focus on your content rather than fighting with the interface.

Simple NPC generates fully realized fantasy characters in a single tap. With over 1 million possible names drawn from 7,000+ handcrafted entries across 17 races, and billions of unique appearance combinations across professions, ages, and social classes — no two sessions at the table need the same face twice. Built for game masters, worldbuilders, novelists, and anyone who needs a believable person to appear at the inn, guard the gate, or sell something suspicious at the market. Every NPC comes with a complete physical description — height, build, skin, eyes, hair, clothing, and a telling detail that makes them feel like someone who existed before you walked in. Add a profession, social class, age, and race, and the generator produces a character grounded in those specifics. A destitute elder orc scribe reads differently than a wealthy young halfling merchant. The details reflect who they actually are. What Simple NPC generates: — Physical appearance: build, face, skin, eyes, hair, and clothing — A notable detail: a scar, tattoo, piece of jewelry, profession item, or behavioral tell — A motivation: what they want right now, in this moment — An rare secret: a reveal that changes everything Races included free: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Half-Orc, Tiefling, Dragonborn Pack 1 — Expanded Races & Professions ($1.99): Orc, Goblin, Kobold, Lizardfolk, Cinderborn, Stoneborn, Tideborn, Galeborn — plus 10 additional professions, including Noble, Spy, Bard, Hedge Witch, and Cartographer Full Access ($4.99): Every current pack plus every future pack released — one price, forever Features: — Over 1 million possible name combinations — 7,000+ handcrafted name entries across 17 races — Billions of unique NPC appearances — Generate a complete NPC in one tap — Lock any field and randomize the rest — Exclude races or professions you don't use — Save NPCs and return to them later — Quick archetypes for common NPC types — Designed for dark and light mode — No ads. No subscriptions. No account required. Built by Two One Nine, LLC · crookedtavern.com
