Kalajel's free games and resources 2: The sequel

Jul 22, 2020 11:36 pm
Hello everyone,

I was asked on the Discord to clean up my resources and free games thread (still available here), and sort the links by categories. I figured a brand new thread was the best solution for it. So this will become the new free resources and games thread. I'll still use the old one and sort through the links there to classify them here, but eventually, the old thread will slip into obscurity (or I might delete it, I don't know...). So without further ado, let's start this (thought the next posts will most likely be placeholders for now)!

Table of Contents

Free Games. (RPGs)

SRDs.

Character Sheets.

There are plenty of nice free games available out there on the net, as well as free supplements for already existing games. This post is where I'll put up all the free RPGs and supplements I come across.

(Note: Concerning the dead link for the Adventure Time game based on D&D 4th, I checked the pdf I had saved of it, and the creator left his e-mail address in it. It might be worth contacting him and get a pdf of the game that way: ilitchev@gmail.com)

Online Dice Rollers
A bit of a joke on my last thread... Sure, you won't need 'em here, but what if you need to game in real life and forgot your dice (okay I'm stretching a bit here...). Basically, I'd rather not need them and still list them here than not have them listed here and sorely miss them when I do actually need them...

ROLZ. (and so it begins...)

hamete virtual dice server. Also good for PBEM!

WotC's official D&D Dice Roller. (for 3.X only?)

Zero Dice online dice roller.

Random.org's virtual dice roller.

VirtuWorld.net's virtual dice roller.

Game2's virtual dice roller. This one might be bugged, I could not get it to work, but YMMV...

BTWaters. Roll 2d6, but this site seems to be more about probability analysis...

Secure Dice dice server.

PBE Games: Dice Roller.

Wolfarmalpha Widgets.

Calculator Soup.

Troll Dice Roller and Probability Calculator.

Exalted Web Tool.

Rocknrole Circus.

Warhorse Simulations. This one is not a dice roller. It's actually a card tracker for playing some wargames.

Dice Server.

Dice.run.

Okay, this one is more to calculate dice statistics and average... so hey, I guess there's a good reason to have some of those virtual dice roller on here after all...

Anydice.com. Another one to check dice statistics and averages.

Purple Sorcerer Games' tools, online generators for DCC.

Dwarven Automata. A site full of generators for OSR-style games.

Some people have created programs to help with some aspects of a game or another, or just RPGs in general. Such programs you can download or use online will be listed here.

Utilities for dungeon masters.

Beyond Tabletop.

D20 Pro.

RPG Map Editor 2.

Sourceforge. This is a site full of programs to download, so obviously, a few people made some for RPGs. Simply make a search with "pen and paper RPG" or "tabletop RPG" to find a bunch of useful programs. A similar thing could also be said of github.com... Software.Informer is yet another similar site...

Mythic Table, open source VTT.

A fight calculator for Deathly Thrones, a solo print & play game currently in Kickstarter.

a5eTools. A set of online tools for EN Publishing's Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition. Seems to work roughly like 5eTools for the regular/official 5th edition, in case you were not aware of it... (Edit: since I learnt that this site is not owned by anyone involved with WotC or Hasbro, and is basically piracy, I've decided to remove it.)

Free app for Pentaquest.

A web-based NPC manager.

The free version of Hexographer.

Customizable generator for TTRPGs.

The bag of holding, to track your party's inventory online.

Gone but not Forgotten
It is the nature of the internet that some site dies. While I can use the waybackmachine internet archive to repair some broken links, others will have never been saved in this archive. Perhaps other types of internet archives exist out there which could have those sites saved, but I do not know of any... Basically, this post will be used to list dead links, just in case someone is a bit more internet savvy than I...

Edit: Turns out there is another internet archive out there. Archive-It which searches using keywords instead of URLs. For exemple, I've made a search with Dungeonslayers here.

Suggestions and Comments
From this point on, posts are for your own suggestions, comments, or to warn me that such and such link is dead... I might post here as well from time to time to inform you of any update. I'd really like this thread to be a bit like a wiki where everyone could maintain it, but that might be outside of the site's capabilities... So the best option will simply be to allow you to post from this point on.

Great job, man. I'm going to be sure to bookmark this.

Here's a link to a list of SRDs for many popular systems.

So yeah, so far I've noticed that in my old thread I had a few duplicate links already. Going well so far...

A suggestion would be to create a "Table of Contents" with links in the first post. That way you can just click what sort of thing you're looking for and go straight to that post.
