A new web tool for GMs

Hello, everyone. I'm setting up my campaign here on OP and though I'd introduce myself. I've been playing for 20 years, now but this is my first year DMing.

My efforts in gathering DMing tools has been so successful, I created a website to host links to my favorites. I've also created a web tool of my own I hope other Game Masters will find useful.

    Jason, this is fantastic! I used it for, what, about a minute, and I am already adding it to my list of gaming favorite websites. Would you mind if I added it to Gaaran's "Fantastinomicon?":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-fantastinomicon It is a repository of helpful DMing ideas here on the Obsidian Portal.

    Also, on behalf of the rest of the Obsidian Portal, I want to welcome you and wish you good luck as you prepare your campaign wiki. If you need any help, there is tons to be had here in the forums!

    I was just clicking it for a minute or two and it seems to me that if half the people who visit it submitted their own small plot hook/encounter/impetus, etc. it will indeed be a fantastic tool. I did get duplicites a few times fairly quickly, though, which gimes me the impression that it needs our help! I've got stoff to do this afternoon, but I'm planning on stopping by later tonight and just throwing down random ideas to do my part to help. I hope everyone else does the same.

    Good work, Jason, this is a great idea, and welcome to the Portal...I echo Dusk's statements on the aid to be aquired around the forums. Be prepared for some pretty exceptional goofing around as well.

    Thanks so much for the kind words!

    I'd love for you to include it in the Fantastinomicon. I've only been live about a month and am working hard to get some linkbacks so people can find me. The more people visit and contribute, the better the tool will be for all of us.

    Hey there Jason, welcome to the Portal, and to DM'ing. I like your idea of creating a site to serve as a repository for DMing tools and aids. I know that Grunn has set up something similar at his "Westerlands":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/the-westerlands/wikis/gm-techniques OP site, you might check it out to see if there's anything there you might want to add to your own site.

    Cheers,

    Hey thanks Dusk & Arsheesh! I actually have a couple more how-to guides I've been meaning to put together to throw onto that page.

    I want to thank Fatouzocat, who has made many contributions to the site. Thanks! He won the Christmas contest I held.

    I've also made some updates to the site, including putting the generator on the main page, and adding Mini Quests and a search ALL systems option.

    You can now go directly to www.gnomemullet.com for the generator. Also consider a LINK EXCHANGE if you have a website or blog.
