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.
- Fantasy name generator Names for characters, towns and taverns, built from parts, with elf, orc, wizard and more.
- Tournament pairing generator Run a Swiss event for your 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, 54mm and 1:56 Wargaming miniatures are quoted as 28mm, 32mm or 54mm: a height in millimetres, not a ratio.
- Paper sizes and print-size converter Every A size in millimetres, centimetres and inches, plus a converter that tells you how big your photo will print.
- Miniature base sizes The round, oval and square base sizes you see most often in the hobby, in millimetres and inches.
- Painting competition score sheet Everything a club or shop 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 colour or a number in front.
- Wizard name generator This wizard name generator builds wizard names four ways: the old tower wizard with a title to live up to, the hedge witch with a name the village uses, the court mage with a family behind them, and the necromancer who doesn’t get invited twice.
For clubs, game shops 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 website too. The code to copy is at the bottom of its page.
