Kalajel's free games and resources 2: The sequel

Sep 10, 2020 11:33 pm
I've had an idea which might solve a query I recently received via PM. In a few links I've already posted, it is possible to download some material in language other than English as well as English material, and if memory serve, I did linked to a Swedish game in my old thread (haven't reached that particular post yet). So I was thinking that perhaps I should add a section for games and resources which are entirely in a language other than English. I mean, given the previous arguments listed, might as well... So without further ado:

Games/Resources In Other Languages
This section is reserved for links which leads to site which are exclusively in a language other than English for our non-native-English speakers. Whenever I can identify the language in question, it will be added in parenthesis next to the post. (Note: those links may or may not be mostly French as I am French-Canadian. If you know other great games or resources in other languages, do not hesitate to propose them, either in this thread, by PMing me here, or DMing me on Discord.)

I've slacked down a bit in the past few months, but I've started transferring links from my old thread to here again.

I've been slacking up again with migrating my old thread's links here, sorry about that... But on the upside, I've found many new links, a lot of them provided by the community.

I have to drop a link for alexandria.dk

Alexandria is an online library for role-playing games, board games, LARPs and the connected scene, primarily in Denmark and other Nordic countries. The library contains information for more than 9,000 scenarios, 400 board games, 4,000 persons and 1,000 gaming conventions. The project has existed since 2003.

Alexandria's purpose is to preserve information about the history of the gaming scene and communities. Furthermore Alexandria stores scenarios for every author who wants to share their scenarios. With the consent of the authors we currently have more than 1,500 scenarios available for immediate download.

Alexandria's data is gathered from public sources, dusty old programmes, role-players with exceptional memory as well as support and help from a huge amount of volunteers. We are not perfect - we might have a few errors and missing information, and we depend on the collective memory from the community - you can also help us with corrections.

Scenarios for download may be run under private circumstances. If you want to run the scenario at a convention or for commercial purposes and the scenario lacks information about this kind of usage you must contact the author for permission.

Thanks @ runekyndig. I've added it to the list.

Alright, all of my old thread has finally been finished to be transferred here. Next stop, some list of other stuff I found in the meantime...

It occurs to me that there are already some threads here on GP which can be useful. Gathering a link to each one of them here might help new users more easily find them. So perhaps this warrant an entirely new section...

This thread will be dedicated in bringing together all the existing GP threads which might hold some sort of resource which can be of help for GMs and players alike. They are all gathered here for convenience's sake.

Map-sharing thread.

Public Repository of Custom Character Sheets.

Public Repository of Dice Highlight Codes.

Shared GM Sheets.

The Many Faces Of...

Character Image Sharing Thread (Fantasy).

Character Image Sharing Thread (Modern).

Character Image Sharing Thread (Sci-Fi).

BB Code Legend Discussion.

Setting up Discord integration to your games.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I haven forgotten about this project, I update it from time to time when I find new stuff (for example, I just found this site...).
Dec 8, 2023 9:01 pm
Just a heads up, I'm still working on this list. My last finds have been a couple of rules-light mix of D&D and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

Just want to let you know I am still working on this list, updating it regularly. For example, I recently found a few fan-made Fallout games, added some online generators, and corrected a dead link to a French game.

Okay, first, I've noticed that my "A little bit of everything section" is starting to get very bloated. I might have to break it down in to new sections to lighten the load a bit. I'm thinking "Blogs", "Paper Minis", and "Bestiaries". Those 3 new sections should remove a good portion of the bloat.

Second, I'll be a bearer of bad news. The Internet Archive are currently badly losing 2 copyright lawsuits that I'm aware of. This means the Internet Archive is very much in danger of disappearing forever. This means a lot of broken links I've fixed using the Way Back Machine are most likely going to become dead again, permanently. I'm not aware if there are any way to save the Internet Archive at that point, I'll try to look into that, but given how much copyright lawsuits can go for, I doubt our paltry donations might do much to help...

Finally, speaking of dead links, I've noticed a few more. I'll fix those when I feel up to it (probably around the time I'll create the 3 new sections, remember I'm still dealing with some problems of my own which is sapping a lot of my morale and energy at the moment).

So yeah, this is pretty much the news regarding the state of this thread.

Never a media conservation site without a constant threat of a lawsuit, is there? D:

Since I saw some art programs on your list, have a contribution: Krita! It's a free open source art program which is quite delightful, and has both vector and raster capabilities, as well as a lot of built-in brushes and useful functions.

Also, take care of yourself! Sending good vibes for a morale boost. :P

My first new section to help un-bloat the "A little bit of everything" section.

Blogs
"Hey Bart, you remember blogs right? Well, they're back, but in pog form!" Yep, those blogs are still a thing, and you can find a whole lot of goodies on many of them... This entry will be for blogs and blog-like sites.

Sham's Grog & Blog. Resources and ideas for old-school games.

EdOWar's Blog. Resources for many games.

A Rust Monster Ate My Sword. Blog with a bunch of goodies.

Earthdawn Blod. Lots of goodies for Earthdawn.

Kamikaze's "What's wrong with AD&D?" page. Scroll further down for free alternatives to the world's most popular role playing game.

Abstruse Decapod's Free Tabletop Resources.

Some tips about solo gaming.

Some idea for dungeon generation.

Zadmar's Savage Stuff. Free games and resources (mostly for Savage Worlds).

Campaigns Playable. A blog with resources for O/AD&D.

Free downloads for NOD.

Yet Another Traveller Blog. Full of goodies for Traveller.

Helpful NPCs. A blog with some goodies for D&D5.

Slyflourish's blog. Some good articles for the lazy DM, as well as a few downloadable and generators in the DM Tools section.

A blog where you can download several games. The reason I haven't put it in the free game section is that some games are in English while others are in Spanish (so that sort of covers 2 categories...). All seem to be for solo play though... Edit: Oh, there's also a generator for Vampire: the Masquerade, so there you go...

Conselho das Estrelas. Despite the name, this blog in English has a few resources, about half of those for OSE.

Luke Gearing's Blog. It also has a bunch of downloads, such as Wolves upon the coast.

Elf Maids & Octopi, a spicy (read NSFW: the title is literally a reference to hentai) blog for OSR content.

D4 caltrops, another blog full of OSR content.

Roll 1d12. As the title entails, this blog is full of random d12 tables for your rpgs.

Coins and Scrolls. Another blog full of OSR goodies.

The Ideocron of the Oracular Somnanbulist. Quite the mouthful...

The Pastel Dungeon. More goodies for OSR.

We're talking about blogs here and I forgot the obvious, the Break!! RPG blog.

Crooked Staff Publishing's blog where you'll find stuff for 3D papercraft dungeons, some maps, and goodies for The Age of Shadow.

1Shot Adventures. Full of adventures, VTT assets, and character sheets.

Leicester's Ramble. This blog seems to mostly specialize in d66 tables...

Alone in the Labyrinth. A blog that seems to specialize in random tables and random generators.

Rise Up Comus. Various tips for your games.

Behind the Helm. A new blog, not too much stuff on it at the moment, but it'll grow in time...

Path Peculiars. A blog all about mapping and cartography in your RPGs. I posted it here instead of the Maps section because the blog section is a bit anemic in comparison...
