Free tools for the hobby table
Dice, turn order, tournament pairings, maps, names and painting contests: free tools for players, painters, clubs and game stores. Nothing to sign up for, and you are welcome to link to them.
- Dice roller Type the dice you want, like 2d6+3 or 4d6 drop lowest, or tap a die to roll it.
- Dice probability calculator Find the exact chance of a roll: how likely 10 dice are to give five 4s or better, or how often 2d6+3 makes 10.
- Initiative tracker Keep the turn order for a fight at the table: players and monsters, rolls, hit points and rounds, on one phone.
- NPC generator A ready-to-play character in one tap: a name, a trade, a look, a manner, a want and a secret, with locks and re-rolls.
- D&D and fantasy name generator Names for characters, towns and taverns, built from parts, with elf, orc, town and more.
- Tournament pairing generator Run a Swiss event for your game store or club from a phone: type the players, pair each round, tap in the results and print the standings.
- Game clock A chess-style clock for 2 to 4 players, so long games keep moving. Big-screen mode for a phone on the table.
- Army points calculator Type your own units and points and see the running total against your limit, then print the list or share it.
- Hex map maker Make a sheet of hexes or squares at the exact size you want, shade in some terrain, and print it at true size.
- Miniature scale converter: 28mm, 32mm and 54mm Wargaming miniatures are quoted as 28mm, 32mm or 54mm: a height, not a ratio.
- What size poster for your wall? Enter the width of your wall, sofa or bed and see which poster size fits best.
- Poster sizes: the standard sizes in inches and pixels Poster sizes in the US come in a handful of standard inch sizes.
- A-series paper sizes in inches A1 to A5 in inches, centimeters and pixels, with a converter that shows how big your file will print.
- Miniature base sizes The round, oval and square base sizes you see most often in the hobby, in millimeters and inches.
- Painting competition score sheet Everything a club or game store needs to run a painting contest on paper: numbered entry cards, a scoring sheet for each judge, a results sheet, and a tally that adds up the marks for you.
- Elf name generator This elf name generator builds elf names from syllables written for this page: high elven, wood elf, dark elf and Christmas elf, each with its own sound.
- Orc name generator This orc name generator puts orc names together the way a war-band would: a short, hard given name, then a clan, then an epithet earned the loud way.
- Fantasy town name generator This town name generator builds fantasy town names from the same parts real English place names are made of: a word for what was there, then an ending for what people did with it.
- Tavern name generator This tavern name generator builds tavern names the way English pub signs have been named for centuries: an animal or an object, sometimes a pair of them, often with a color or a number in front.
For clubs, game stores and groups
Every tool here is free to use and free to link to. If you run a club, a store event, a painting contest or a group chat for your table, put a link where your players will find it. Most setups can be shared as a link, so everyone sees the same thing.
The dice roller can sit on your own site too. The code to copy is at the bottom of its page.
