Changelog
New tools, improvements, and fixes for Tools and Taverns, newest first.
v1.58.3
Changed
- Rules Quick-Reference, Session Dashboard, all fourteen guides, and shared player views now use the same compact introductions, clear panels, and responsive layouts as the rest of the site.
- Player handouts label their fields and omit empty sections. Shared initiative snapshots identify the current turn in text.
Fixed
- The dashboard tool picker keeps keyboard focus inside the dialog and returns it to the opener when closed.
v1.58.2
Fixed
- The two example buildings on the building generator page again match what their seed links produce; the owners and occupants had changed since the examples were written.
v1.58.1
Changed
- The coin converter now opens with the full 5e exchange line (1 pp = 10 gp = 20 ep = 100 sp = 1,000 cp) under a fuller heading, and the tavern, settlement, and shop guides link to it where they talk about money.
v1.58.0
Added
- A dedicated D&D Tavern Generator page: one click rolls a named tavern with its keeper, patrons, rooms, exterior, and a priced drink menu, with its own examples and tips. Find it under World & Places or from the tavern guide.
v1.57.1
Changed
- The puzzle, weather, character traits, and loot generators now carry fuller D&D 5e page titles and headings, and the loot generator is named for both loot and treasure.
- The loot by level, tavern, and 2024 encounter guides now point to their matching generator near the top of the text, and the price reference pages link to the shop generator.
v1.57.0
Changed
- The About page now matches the rest of the site, with Vito's story, the project's purpose, and its promises organized into clear, responsive panels.
- The Legal & Licensing page now presents each rules document and its required attribution in a dedicated, easier-to-read panel.
- The Changelog now uses the shared compact page introduction and a wider responsive layout while keeping each release distinct and easy to scan.
v1.56.0
Changed
- The Privacy & Cookie Policy was rebuilt to match the rest of the site. Its introduction now uses the compact page header, and each policy topic sits in a quiet, responsive panel that is easier to scan.
v1.55.0
Changed
- The guides index was rebuilt to match the home page. Each category is now a quiet panel instead of a column of parchment cards, and the guides run in two columns on desktop so the whole list fits on one screen.
v1.54.0
Changed
- The home page was rebuilt to match the rest of the site. The introduction is now a compact panel instead of a large red heading, every section sits on the same quiet surface used by the generators, and the generator, tool, guide, and Recently Added lists run in two columns on desktop so the whole directory is far less scrolling.
- Home page links now show their description underneath the link instead of trailing it on the same line, which makes the directory quicker to scan.
v1.53.1
Fixed
- Generated results across every generator no longer sit flush against the edge of their panel. A styling conflict had been cancelling the spacing around result content, which cramped the text and clipped the row controls on tools like the Initiative Tracker.
v1.53.0
Changed
- In-World Calendar: the page was rebuilt to match the rest of the site. Date controls now come first as a full-width panel with an even row of step buttons and a proper Jump to date form, and the current date reads as a result card with the weekday, moon phases, and a countdown to each upcoming holiday.
- In-World Calendar: the calendar editor now labels every column, uses the same styled dropdowns and inputs as the rest of the site, and folds each row into a readable card on phones.
Fixed
- In-World Calendar: the calendar Name and Year suffix boxes in the editor no longer render as white boxes with unreadable text.
v1.52.3
Changed
- Session Dashboard: pinned panels are now compact, self-scrolling cards. Each panel keeps its own height instead of stretching to match the tallest one in its row, controls fold to two columns so nothing scrolls sideways, and the duplicate page banner inside every panel is gone.
- Session Dashboard: the Add Generator picker shows a short description for every tool, and the header shows how many tools are pinned.
- The returning-visitor feedback message now opens with a Bahamut's Beard! greeting and uses larger, easier-to-read text.
Fixed
- Session Dashboard: pinning the Downtime Planner no longer renames the browser tab to Downtime Planner or appends its full guide beneath the panel.
v1.52.2
Fixed
- Loot Generator: a hoard with no magic item now explains why in plain words instead of showing a LEVEL_APPROPRIATE code, and filtered-out hoards name the filters responsible.
- Travel Event Generator: terrain reads as Forest, Underground, and so on in the result header, badge, notebook pin, and export instead of the raw uppercase value.
- Tavern Menu Generator: the result subtitle reads Common, Roadside Inn instead of COMMON, ROADSIDE_INN, and the Quality and Setting dropdowns match the rest of the site.
- Settlement Generator: NPC names inside hook text now look like links instead of unstyled white buttons.
v1.52.1
Fixed
- Building Generator: choosing Guild Hall no longer fails with an API error; the building generates and its seed link recreates it.
- Mini Dungeon Generator: opening a shared or pinned seed link now recreates the same dungeon instead of showing an empty page.
v1.52.0
Added
- Aasimar, Goliath, and Orc join the character species available across the NPC, Name, Backstory, Shop, Building, Settlement, and Faction generators, following the 2024 species list.
Changed
- Because the Shop, Building, and Character Backstory generators now draw from twelve species instead of nine, a Session Notebook pin you saved from one of them before this release may reopen showing a different species than the one you originally saw.
v1.51.0
Added
- The home page now explains how the site is meant to be used before it lists the generators: a Generate It, Keep It, Run It section walking through rolling a result, pinning it to your notebook so it stays in your browser, and pulling it back up at the table.
v1.50.1
Fixed
- The sidebar navigation no longer slides over the footer when you scroll to the bottom of a page. It now stops at the top of the footer, so the footer links stay readable and clickable.
v1.50.0
Added
- Every generated NPC now comes with a full, runnable stat block: armor class, hit points, speed, ability scores, saving throws, skills, senses, languages, challenge rating, and actions, transcribed straight from the SRD. It shows on the full NPC card and, condensed to AC, HP, CR, and attacks, on the quick card, and it is included in the Markdown, Obsidian, and player handout exports.
Changed
- The Foundry VTT export for NPCs now carries the real challenge rating from the stat block instead of one estimated from level, and Session Notebook pins for NPCs now save a durable snapshot so a saved pin can no longer drift out of sync if you regenerate it later.
v1.49.0
Added
- Coin weight and party-split on the Coin Converter: every result now shows its total weight in pounds (50 coins to the pound, per the SRD), and you can enter a party size to split the total evenly, with any remainder that will not divide cleanly called out separately.
v1.48.0
Added
- A Platinum to Gold quick-conversion table on the Coin Converter page for common round amounts (1, 10, 100, 1,000 platinum), alongside the existing full conversion matrix.
v1.47.0
Added
- A one-time tip on your first generated result pointing out the Copy Link, Export, and Pin to Notebook buttons, so seeded share links and the Session Notebook are easier to discover.
- Answer tables in four guides: price anchors and magic item price bands in the Shop Pricing guide, a conditions cheat sheet in the Run Combat Faster guide, a five-capture note table in the Campaign Notes guide, and an improv safety net table in the Improvising guide.
Changed
- The guides index now lists the most-read guides first in each category, and the home page generator directory moved up above Recently Added.
v1.46.0
Added
- Pantheon Generator at /pantheon-generator: the deity engine set to eight linked gods by default, with its own guide copy and example pantheons you can rebuild from a seed.
- Each loot hoard page (low, mid, high, and epic level; dragon hoard, bandit cache, temple treasury, dungeon vault) now explains what that hoard contains, how much gold to expect, and when to use it.
Changed
- The Loot by Level guide links each tier and hoard source straight to the matching hoard generator.
v1.45.0
Added
- A page for every SRD 5.2.1 magic item (258 of them) at /magic-items/<type>/<item>, with the full rules text, rarity, attunement, price range, and links to related items of the same type.
- More cross-links between the Deity and Villain generators, the Loot by Level guide, the Tavern guide, and the tools they pair with (name generators, trap and rumor generators, price lists, initiative tracker, downtime planner).
Changed
- Magic item type pages (potions, weapons, wondrous items, and so on) are now compact lists that link to each item's own page instead of repeating every description inline.
v1.44.0
Added
- Dice roller expression pages: /dice-roller/4d8, 1d20, 4d6 drop lowest, and nine more common rolls, each rolling on load with its range and average listed.
- Quick-reference tables at the top of the Tavern, Settlement, and Pantheon guides: SRD tavern and inn prices, settlement sizes by population, and the roles a pantheon needs.
Changed
- The Coinage Calculator is now titled Coin Converter and Calculator.

Changed

Fixed
- A dice notation error now clears as soon as a preset or custom roll succeeds.
v1.43.10
Changed
- The Personal Quest Hook Generator now uses the focused workspace design with compact controls, intentional empty and loading states, and a full-width character arc result.
- Goals, stakes, obstacles, hooks, and resolutions now use a clearer responsive reading layout with drive, tone, and seed context. This completes the focused redesign across every generator.
v1.43.9
Changed
- The Scene Generator and Wild Magic Surge Roller now use the focused workspace design with compact introductions, structured controls, intentional empty and loading states, and full-width results.
- Scene results keep targeted rerolls inside a responsive multi-card layout, while wild magic results give the d100 roll, effect, manifestation, and seed a clearer visual hierarchy.

- Magic Items Reference: a new /magic-items guide with searchable pages indexed by name, by type (armor, weapon, ring, etc.), and by rarity, plus item prices keyed to rarity.

Fixed

v1.39.1
Added
- The 2024 Encounter Building guide now presents its sample XP budgets as a real table, and the Encounter Generator's XP receipt is labeled with the ruleset (2024 rules, SRD 5.2.1) so it is always clear which math the numbers come from.
Changed
- Page titles across the site now use a dash separator instead of a pipe and drop the site-name suffix when it would push a title past what search engines display. The Fantasy Name Generator, NPC Generator, and Encounter Generator pages carry new, more descriptive titles.

Removed
- Removed decorative Weather status dots and pre-generation wind artwork, plus redundant helper copy from the Name Generator controls.
v1.37.0
Added
- The Encounter Generator now runs on the D&D 2024 encounter math: pick a Low, Moderate, High, or Deadly tier and it multiplies the per-character XP budget for that tier by your party size, then builds an encounter from a curated pool of SRD creatures that spends inside the resulting budget.

- New guide content links the Encounter Generator and the 2024 Encounter Building Rules guide together, and the home page now highlights the upgrade.

v1.31.0
Added

v1.25.0

v1.24.0
Added
- The nine tools and utilities (Dice Roller, Initiative Tracker, Rules Quick-Reference, Coinage Calculator, Session Dashboard, Session Recap, Campaign Timeline, In-World Calendar, and Downtime Planner) now each have a helpful intro below the tool: what it does, tips, common questions, and links to related tools.

v1.18.0
Added

The Monster, Encounter, Loot, Trap, Dungeon, Building, Name, Villain, Puzzle, Curse, Wild Magic, Travel Event, Religion, Rumor, and Faction generators, plus the Character Traits, Character Backstory, and Personal Quest Hook tools, each explain how they work, show real seeded examples, answer common questions, and link related tools.
Fixed
